PRODUCT INSTALLATION

• Connect the power cable to the cigarette lighter. Ensure the cable is placed around the windscreen so as not to obstruct the driver’s view and then fix it securely in place. Attach the device between the glass and the mirror. This will give you the optimal picture.
• Do not install in a position which obstructs the driver’s view or distracts them.
• Use only a high-quality microSDHC card of class 10 or higher. For optimal recording use, we recommend cards with a capacity of at least 8 GB up to a maximum of 32 GB. If this is the first use of the card, we recommend formatting it first.

SETTINGS MENU

• Video resolution – Higher resolutions ensure better recording, but also larger file sizes.

• Loop length – Sets the length of each individual recording. The camera records a 1, 3 or 5 minutes video in a loop. If the memory card becomes full, the dashcam will start overwriting the oldest recordings. The individual videos follow each other smoothly.

• G-sensor – Thanks to the G-sensor, the camera can detect an impact, for example in a traffic accident. As soon as the camera detects an impact, it immediately protects the shot currently being recorded against being overwritten. The sensitivity can be set from 2G (lowest) to 8G (highest).

• Parking mode – If an impact is detected by the G-sensor, the camera automatically turns on and starts recording. After 20 seconds the recording will be saved, protected and the camera will turn off again. When parking mode is activated, the display is turned off so as not to attract attention. The sensitivity can be set from 2G (lowest) to 8G (highest). Use the parking mode function with the power supply disconnected!

• Motion detection – The camera automatically starts recording when it detects movement in the lens field of view and stops recording after about 10 seconds. If you stop recording manually or turn off the camera, motion detection is disabled. The function is for monitoring a parked vehicle, do not use whilst driving. To use the motion detection function, the camera must be turned on and connected to the power supply.

• Audio recording – Allows you to mute or unmute the microphone when recording video. This can be done quickly by pressing the UP button.

• Backlight – Allows you to turn on the LED backlight. Do not use in the car while driving, but e.g. when an accident is recorded outside the car.

• Screensaver – Sets the screen to turn off automatically when you are not operating the camera. The time intervals are 3, 5 or 10 minutes, or the screensaver can be switched off completely.

• Auto Power Off – Allows you to set the dashcam to turn off automatically when idle after 1 or 3 minutes.
