- because the recorder for true 4K pixels, when playing the recorded video on the computer or TV, please download the 4K special player, it is recommended to download PotPlayer and VLC media player. (If you use a player that does not support 4K video playback, it will cause the video screen lag.)
- Please use original accessories provided by us, just in case of compatible issues after using other’s, especially use 2 or 3 in 1 cigar socket will lead to 100% insufficient current supply
- Because this product is super capacitor powered, not battery powered, so if you need to use the parking monitoring function must be connected to the buck cable (not included) to the car distribution module, because the installation of the buck cable line is very complex, it is recommended to go to the local auto repair center for installation, the buck cable must be purchased separately. (Battery power supply is easy to age, not resistant to high temperature and cold, and prone to explosion, so supercapacitor is more advantageous and safer than battery power supply method.)

- in the use of the recorder encounter problems or difficulties, please contact us first after-sales customer service: topbulls@163.com, we will solve for you as soon as possible
