Q3: Camera Freezing/Lagging or Crashing?

Use a pin or and unfolded paper clip, press the RESET Button (Located at the side) to restart the camera. Now the dashcam should turn ON. If it still doesn't turn ON, then please CONTACT US.

Q4: | put an SD card in the dashcam and it only wants to recorded for a few hours then says sim card is full, why?

1. If the loop recording function is not turned on. Please turn on the loop recording function. Loop recording means the recorded video will be saved in sections for 1/3/5 minutes of your choice. When the SD card memory runs out, the previous video files will be overwritten except for the locked files. 2. If the loop recording function has been turned on. It may be that the locked files exceed the capacity memory of SD card, you can save the needed videos to your computer and then format the SD card. Also, it is recommended that you turn off the parking monitoring and motion detection functions and turn down the sensitivity of the G-sensor function when you are driving on the road, so that there will not be many useless videos being locked and taking up the memory of the SD card. (If you choose too high a sensitivity setting, then even slight fluctuations will trigger the locking of video files)

Q5: The car camera could not turn on?

There are 3 reasons that can cause this problem: 1) The dashcam needs continuous power supply, just check if the power connection is normal. 2) The dashcam needs to be reset, just connect the power, click the reset button with a pin and start the camera. 3) A defective card can cause the camera not to turn on, just remove the card or get a new card and insert it into the camera.

Q6: Suction cups do not attach well to the windshield?

Please clean the windshield with a glass cleaning wipe, then remove the protective film from the suction cups, then soak them in warm water for a few moments. Finally, press the suction cups to the right position on the inner windshield and rotate the suction cup handle to make sure the suction cups are fixed. If it still does not work, please contact us for replacement.

There are two reasons that can cause this problem: 1) The card is a low speed or bad quality card, just replace it with a high speed good quality card (speed over class 10, no more than 32GB), format your new SD card when you use it for the first time. 2) Insert the card when the camera is on, the camera can not recognize the card, just turn off the camera and insert the card, then turn on the camera.
