FUNCTIONS

Automatic loop cycle recording
The device records in an endless loop.
When the memory card is full, the oldest recordings which are not write protected are erased. This ensures there is always room and an adequate recording history.
Acceleration sensor (G-Sensor)
The acceleration sensor detects rapid acceleration and slowing (e.g. in an accident). The camera protects the active recording so the recording will not be overwritten later.
Night vision
Hold the MENU button whilst recording to switch on the LED light.
Motion detection
When motion detection is active, the camera automatically starts recording if motion is detected with in the camera’s viewing angle.
Parking monitor
When the camera is not being powered (e.g. whilst parked), the camera draws power from the integrated battery and switches to standby mode. If the acceleration sensor detects a collision, the camera automatically starts recording.
Reversing camera
By switching the camera image on the display you can use the rear facing camera as a reversing camera, e.g. picture-in-picture (see “Changing the camera image”).
ADAS assist systems
The camera features ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) smart assistance systems. The systems assist the drive and can help prevent accidents due to inattentiveness.
LDWS lane departure warning system
The LDWS system (Lane Departure Warning System) continuously monitors the lane separator and warns the driver when departing the lane.
Note:
The system must be calibrated prior to first use to work correctly (see “Calibrating the lane departure warning system”).
FCWS front collision warning system
The FCWS (Front Collision Warning System) continuously monitors the safety distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. If the distance is less than the calculated safety distance, the system warns the driver.

INSTALL ATION

Inserting the memory card
A memory card is required to save device recordings.
Insert a TF/microSD card (not included) in the TF/microSD card slot (15).
We recommend formatting the TF/ microSD card directly in the camera prior to first use (see “Format memory card”).
Installing the rear facing camera Attention!
Due to differences in technical and design-related vehicle types, these instructions for use do not apply to all vehicle models.

Remove the number plate from its bracket.
unscrew and remove the number plate holder.
Now locate an opening / hole to the interior of the vehicle near the number plate to feed the plug of the connecting cable for the camera into the vehicle’s interior. Remove the interior trim around the number plate for easier visibility and installation. If there is no opening on the vehicle, drill a hole with a 10 mm (diameter) drill bit in the trim area around the number plate.
Attention!
be sure there are no electrical wires or other automotive parts in the area where you will be drilling which could be damaged!
To protect the borehole in the metal panel from corrosion the metal edges should be coated with a suitable paint coating (e.g. automaker‘s touchup pen) and allow to dry adequately.
Attention!
The location of the rear facing camera must not affect the functionality of the number plate lamp! If it will affect the number plate lamp, install the rear facing camera in a different suitable location.
Feed the plug of the camera cable (19) into the interior of the vehicle or the boot lid.
Mount the rear facing camera to the vehicle with suitable fasteners (not included).
Be sure the cable output at the back of the camera is always up to maintain the maximum swivel range.
If desired, you may also use caulk to seal the opening for the camera cable from both sides to prevent water from entering.
Attach the mounting plate and the number plate holder to the vehicle.
Attach the number plate.
Attention!
Disconnect the negative cable from the vehicle‘s battery before working on the vehicle‘s electric circuit! Stored information, codes and programming may be lost! To prevent possible damage, please first consult the vehicle manufacturer.
Now connect the red supply cable of the camera cable to a 12 V + (positive) supply of the vehicle.
Warning!
Do not route the cable near where the airbag deploys.
Route the camera cable (19) to connect to the front facing camera in the interior/void of the vehicle. Ensure the cables will not be pinched or tied.
Plug the connector (20) of the camera cable into the connecting socket (1) on the front facing camera.

The rear facing camera can be swivelled in one direction. Swivel the camera into the desired position.
Installing the front facing camera Attention!
When installing the device, ensure it will not obstruct your view. The connecting cable must not interfere with your ability to drive and the monitor must be firmly secured in place. Observe the applicable laws and safety rules for automobiles!

Screw the thread (21) of the suction cup mount into the intake (4) of the camera. Turn the knurled screw toward the camera to secure the screw joint.
Clean the area of the windscreen where you wish to attach the suction cup (23).
Press the suction cup against the windscreen and push the locking lever (24) toward the suction cup.
Open the lock nut (22) and adjust the camera to the desired viewing angle. Then tighten the lock nut again to fix the camera.
Plug the uSB connecting cable (25) into the connecting socket (2).
Route the uSB connecting cable so as not to impair or jeopardise the safety of the vehicle and occupants.
Plus the car plug (25) into a 12 V car socket.
