Installing the Dash Camera

For optimal performance, install the AUKEY DRS1 in the top center of your windshield, facing directly ahead. Use the cable clips to help fix the power cable conveniently and safely like in the picture below.

Caution: AUKEY is not responsible for any damage caused to or by the airbag due to the incorrect placement of the device or its cables. To power on,  insert the car charger into your car’s  12V  socket,  then connect the included cable to the car charger and to the mini-B port of the DRS1. Insert a microSD card into the microSD card slot and format it using the ‘Format’ option in Dash Camera ‘Setup.’ After powering on each time, the system will start recording automatically. To power off, long-press the power button or disconnect the USB mini-B cable.
Note: Use the included cable to ensure the optimum performance of AUKEY DRS1.

Video Recording

• Loop Recording: Recording will begin automatically after powering on with a microSD card in the dash camera. Each recorded file is up to ten minutes long, with old footage being replaced when microSD card storage is full
• Motion Detection Recording: Switch on motion detection in ‘Setup.’ This function is designed to monitor when you’ve parked and left your vehicle but requires a continuous power supply. It will record video each time motion is detected
• Time-Lapse Recording: Switch on time-lapse recording in ‘Setup.’ This function will capture a picture per second to make a video played at 30fps. The videos will be saved in the ‘Video File’ folder

Note: Time-Lapse Recording isn’t suitable for monitoring purposes while driving.

Emergency Recording

• Manual File Backup
  Press to back up the current file so that it won’t be overwritten. A icon will appear in the top left of the LCD screen to indicate a protected emergency recording is in progress

• Auto File Backup
  Once the G-sensor is activated by a sudden impact, the dash camera will automatically make a recording and protect it from being overwrit-ten. Adjust G-sensor sensitivity in the ‘Setup’ menu

Note: Enter the playlist or setup menu (or disconnect power) to end emergency recording mode
Snapshot

• Hold down for 3 seconds to take a snapshot while in recording mode

Audio Recording
