Motion Detection: If the camera detects movement in front of the camera, it starts recording (applies if the function is active); when the movement stops, the recording will also stop. Use this function only when the vehicle is stationary. Motion detection only works when the camera is switched on and the video loop function is deactivated.

Time Stamp: turns the option to add date and time information into the video on/off.
CAMERA SETTINGS

Place the mount into the slot (14). Remove the film protecting the adhesive surface of the mount. Attach the mount to the car window using the adhesive surface. To tilt or rotate the camera, loosen the nut in the mount to adjust its position. Then retighten the nut so that the mount holds in place. To remove the camera from the mount, press the clip on the mount and slide the camera to the left.
Attention: only place the adhesive camera mount onto glass that has been thoroughly cleaned (degreased) and is completely dry. The best adhesion is achieved at temperatures around 20 °C.
MICROSD CARD
Choose a brand-name microSD card (UHS-I U1 and faster) with maximum capacity of 32 GB. Before using it in the camera for the first time, it is necessary to format the memory card on a PC to FAT32 file system (formatting the memory card will erase all data on the card). Insert the memory card into the camera with the PINs facing towards the camera screen.
Recommendation: regularly format the memory card on a PC to avoid video writing problems. If the camera is used on a daily basis, format the card at least once a month.
More information about the use of the card and its formatting will be provided by the manufacturer of the card.
SWITCHING THE CAMERA ON/OFF AUTOMATICALLY
As soon as the camera detects charging current, it will automatically switch on and start recording (a memory card must be inserted). When the camera gets disconnected from the power source, it will stop recording and will switch off.
CAMERA POWER SUPPLY
The camera can be connected to a power source via a car adapter (included with the product), via a USB cable connected to a PC or via a charging adapter from a mobile phone. The camera can also be charged from a power bank.
USING THE CAMERA ON BATTERY POWER (WITHOUT POWER SUPPLY)
The camera has a backup battery, which is primarily intended for parking mode. The camera is designed for recording with a constant connection to power supply. When using the camera on battery power, the battery must be fully charged before use. Battery life without a connected power source is about 25 minutes with the screen and Wi-Fi turned off. If you wish to use the camera while disconnected from a power source, it must always only be turned on using button (7) after it has been disconnected from a power source.
CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO A PC
Connect a data USB cable to the USB-C port on the camera (6) and to the USB port in the PC. Once connected to a PC, the following options will become available:

Storage: you can manage files stored on the memory card (the camera acts as an external drive)
PC camera: can be used as a camera in programmes that allow the connection of an external camera (the microphone cannot be used).
Charging: the camera will recharge.

Attention: supported systems include Windows 8 and later and MacOS 11 and later.
