BEFORE USE

1. Using brand microSD memory cards (from 8GB to 32GB of memory) with speed class 10 is recommended.
2. Before putting the card into the camera, it needs to be formatted to the FAT32 file system on your computer, and then again in your camera.
3. The memory card should be installed when the device is turned off, otherwise, you can damage the card and the device. The same is true for taking out the memory card.
4. A fully charged battery lets the camera record video with no power supply for maximum 5 minutes. The battery’s primary purpose is to ensure that the device’s settings won’t be reset due to lack of power.
5. When the memory card gets full, the oldest unprotected recordings will be overwritten.
6. It is recommended that you use the device’s functions as intended. Do not use MOTION DETECTION and PARKING MODE when driving, as it can cause the device to turn on and off by itself, e.g. when you stop at a crossroads.

It is recommended to set the G-SENSOR option to a minimum to avoid protecting unimportant files and loss of space on your memory card. The memory card has to be formatted to the FAT32 file system, first on a computer and then in the camera.

CAMERA MOUNTING MANUAL

1. Pick a spot to place your camera. It is best to place your camera in a place that makes as much space in front of the vehicle as possible visible on the display screen. Make sure, that the camera will not obscure the driver’s line of sight when driving.
2. Mount the holder on the windshield and then place the camera in the holder.
3. Place the USB cable as shown in the picture above.
4. Connect the mini-USB plug to the camera.
5. Connect the charger to the 12V lighter socket.

OPERATING THE DEVICE

1. Mount the camera and connect it to the power supply.

2. Put in a microSD memory card, formatted to the FAT32 file system.
   WARNING the card should be put in and taken out only when the device is turned off

3. Set the:
   a. time and date,
   b. loop recording (set the time of recordings). If you turn loop recording off, files will not be overwritten,
   c. set the highest resolution available,
   d. set the G-Sensor to the lowest sensitivity available, so that the camera doesn’t save unnecessary video files when you drive on uneven roads.

4. Make sure that the MOTION DETECTION and PARKING MODE are turned off.
   If they remain turned on when you’re driving, they will interfere with your recording. Turning parking mode on is recommended only when you leave your vehicle parked.  PARKING MODE can be quickly turned on and off in recording mode by pressing and holding the DOWN button.

5. The camera will start recording automatically when you turn the engine on (unless your car has a constant power supply in its lighter socket).

MAIN FEATURES OF THE CAMERA

1. Camera mode
   The camera has 3 modes of operation. Recording mode: the camera records video. Photo mode: the camera takes pictures. Video Play mode: browsing the footage recorded by the camera.

2. Loop recording
   The camera divides the recordings into files of the length of your choice. When the memory card is full, the oldest recording will be overwritten.

3. Resolution
   The camera can record in many resolutions. The higher the resolution, the better the quality of recordings, at the cost of more space on the memory card being taken.
   It is reccomended that you use the highest resolution available.

4. G-Sensor
   Gravity sensor. When the sensor is turned on and your car is hit, the recording from the event will be protected from overwriting. Using the lowest sensitivity setting is recommended, as at higher settings the sensor can trigger when you drive on uneven roads and fill up your memory card with files that won’t be overwritten.

5. Parking mode
   When it’s turned on, the camera left in your car (if connected to the power supply) registers the car shaking (for example, due to a parking crash), turns on, and starts recording (the recordings are automatically protected from being overwritten.) Turning the parking mode off when driving is recommended. It can block the loop recording function.

6. Motion detection mode
   When it’s turned on and you leave the camera in standby mode, plugged into the power supply, the camera will turn on and record a short video if it detects motion.

7. Sound recording
   The camera can record sound along with video footage.
