FAQs

Where should I place the dashcam?

We recommend that you mount the car dashcam as close to the center of the windshield as possible. This should neither distract the driver nor block the driver’s view (see 2.2-2.4).

Why does the dashcam stop recording after some time?

If motion detection is enabled, the dashcam will automatically stop recording when no movement is detected for more than 5 minutes (see 3.6).
Your micro SD card may be full and need to be formatted before using it again. 1440P and 1080P videos occupy a lot of card capacity and G-Sensor protected videos cannot be erased automatically. We recommend formatting your memory card every 14 days.

Why do you recommend a Class 10 micro SD card or above?

1440P and 1080P videos have a bigger data flow and hence require a micro SD card with faster writing speed. If memory cards below Class10 are used, they may cause the dashcam to freeze or other related video recording/erasing

How do I tum off audio during recording?

To turn off the Audio Recording, press the Right-arrow Button (13) once during (Please note: this does not interrupt the video recording).

How do I start recording videos?

The Z3Pro dashcam is programmed to automatically record when there is power connected and a memory card inserted. When the engine is turned off or power is disconnected, the dashcam will stop recording and turn off.
It is recommended to format the SD card before initial use.
