you can install the rear camera forward, turn on the”mirror flip of rear

rear wiring room. pop up your trunk and look for a solid interior panel that
covers the other side of the license plate mount area. Then, insert a trim
removal tool or other thin device behind the panel and pry it open.
3. Hide the cable Use the trim strip removal tool to pop up the tailgate trim
strip, then the cable is inserted from the outside into the trunk of the car.

Step:
1. Stop the engine. 2. Open the fuse box. 3. Use a power detector to detect
the constant power and ACC power (emergency power). *note: Use an ACC power
supply of 15A to 25A.Use a constant power supply below 30A. 4. Connect the
yellow fuse to the constant power source, the red fuse to the ACC power
source, and the ground terminal (black wire) to the metal part of the body.
Installation – Connect the following three cables to the car fuse box.(The
position of the fuse box differs depending on the model)
24
Yellow cable (BATT/B+) The yellow cable should be connected to the fuse of the
constant power supply in the car fuse box. If you are looking for a constant
power supply in the fuse box: Use a voltage tester to check the fuse to ensure
it still have electricity even if the car engine is off.
Red cable (ACC) Connect the red cable supply power only when the car engine
starts. Testing method: The tester bulb will light when the engine is on and
won’t light when the engine is off.
Black cable (GND) Connect this black cable(GND) to the metal part of the
vehicle. Most cars have screws or metal parts next to the fuse box. Connect
the black cable to the screw or metal part.(As in the picture below)

Movie Clip Time: 1minutes/2minutes/3minutes
Q: Why is every video recording so short? A: We set the recording interval of
each video to 1min/2min/3min.This is for the convenience of finding the locked
video later.The main function of the recorder is to record, especially to
record emergency video. If each video is too long and the G-Sensor triggers
emergency recording when a collision occurs, the video will be locked and
cannot be covered by the loop recording, and customers will be difficult to
find the video in the subsequent search. You need slide the longer progress
bar to find this locked video.And the capacity of the Micro SD card is
limited, if the locked video is too long, the normal video capacity that can
be stored will decrease.

Low
Parking Mode: Off/12Hours/24Hours You can choose the time of parking
monitoring according to the actual situation, we have 12 hours and 24 hours.
31
Principle
When the hardwire kit is correctly connected and the Parking mode lapse
Recording mode is turned on, the acc is out of power when the car is turned
off (bat is always charged), and the dash cam detects that the acc is out of
power and will stop normal recording and enter the “Lapse Recording mode”.
When the engine is started and the acc is powered, the machine will boot into
the normal recording mode.
Advantage
1. Save electricity, will not drain the car battery. 2. Save the SD card
space, which is 1/30 of the normal recording.
NOTE:
This function needs to connect the hardwire kit(ASIN: B09X1L1GMX), you can buy
it yourself or CONTACT US.
If you need the introduction and installation video of the hardwire kit,
please CONTACT US.
These two modes can’t be implemented simultaneously.

Reversing line (Auxiliary function)
If your car does not have a reversing system and you need a backup reversing
system as an aid, you need to connect the red cable of the rear cam to the
positive pole of your reversing lamp. If your car already has a reversing
system, you just ignore the red cable on the rear cam.
When you shift to “r” gear, the rear view will automatically show on the
screen with reversing lines for easy and safe parking. You can enter the
“Reversing line” option in the settings, then adjust the angle of the
reversing image and the reversing line. Also when in reversing, you can adjust
the viewing angle of the image. (This function activate after the red wire of
the rear camera be connected to the positive pole of the reversing light.)
When reversing, the reversing line will automatically appear on the screen,
and the screen will automatically be pressed down 15° horizontally. However,
due to the different installation location of each guest, manual adjustment is
required.
39
You can adjust the viewing angle and the positions of the four corners of the
reversing line in the “Reversing line” option of the settings. The reversing
line has three colors of red, yellow and green. When the object behind the car
reaches the red distance, it means you can stop reversing. Q: How do I use the
reversing system when reversing the car? A: First,you should turn on the “Show
reversing line”, then you can enter the “Reversing line” option in the
settings to adjust the angle of the reversing image and reversing line.
