Video storage

TF card requirement

Your dash cam supports standard TF card with the capacity of 16GB to 64GB and speed at Class 10 or above. Make sure you format your TF card inside the dash cam before using.

Here’s the amount of videos the cards with different capacity can store:

All videos are overwritten starting from the older ones when the storage space limit is reached. Make sure you back up the footage to your phone or computer when an accident happens.

TF cards may be damaged during constant recording and wiping videos. In this case, replace the TF card if it is not working.

Make sure you use high-quality TF cards from a known brand. The actual writing speed and capacity of the low-quality TF cards may be lower than declared. Video aren’t normally saved to low-quality TF cards. We don’t take any responsibility for such cases.

Before using a new TF card, format it inside the dash cam. We strongly recommend you to format your TF card once every 2 weeks; otherwise, your TF card may become too slow.

Do not insert or remove the TF card when your dash cam is working.

• TF card was aged;
• TF card became slow in writing speed;
• TF card is unrecognized;
• There are files that are not generated by the device;

Your dash cam gets electricity from the cigarette lighter receptacle. Use the original power cable and adapter to keep the input power source steady. We shall not be responsible for any loss or damage caused by using other power sources besides the cigarette lighter receptacle, or using non-original power cables and adapters.

Some vehicles still supply power to the cigarette lighter receptacle after the engine is off. To avoid your car’s battery being used up, long press the power button to power off your dash cam or pull out the adapter from the cigarette lighter receptacle. Remember to power the dash cam on when you start your next trip. We shall not be responsible for any loss or damage caused by not powering the dash cam off when you leave the car.

Battery

The built-in battery of your dash cam is only used for saving the last video file when the external power source is cut off. Do not use the dash cam without the external power source.

Do not remove the built-in battery by yourself.
