The app may show a pop up message to turn off mobile data when connecting to the Dash Cam. Once successfully paired to your DASH CAM the Dash Cam will give you a voice confirmation and the indicator light on the side of your Dash Cam turns green.

FORMATTING SD CARD (Manage the TF Card)

It is advisable to format the card weekly if you have the Gravity Sensing (Gsensor) setting turned on, or create locked files. This will fill up the card causing it to stop recording any footage. You can format your SD card using the Xview Dash Cam App. It will ask you to confirm before formatting. It is recommended you do this to keep the card in good running order and to ensure you purge any locked footage that may have been saved in the past that you no longer need and is taking up space.

Note: Back up files you wish to keep prior to formatting, as formatting will delete ALL files on the SD Card.

NOTE: SD cards have a finite life. Their life is based on the amount of times the card is written to. The SD card WILL eventual wear out over time. Dash Cams are very heavy users of the SD card because they are constantly writing to memory. Some cards have a longer life than others. The longest life cards are often labelled as “ENDURANCE” or “HEAVY DUTY”

DOWNLOADING TO YOUR PHONE

Using the Xview Dash Cam App you can download videos to your smartphone. If you have a lot of videos, it may take a bit of time before it will load images onto your screen, it may appear empty to start with, be patient, the video images should appear in a minute. Patience is needed while it downloads the videos, the more videos you select, the longer it will take to download. Please keep in mind that this footage is High Definition and is quite large. (Make sure there is sufficient space on your phone).

GPS LOGGER

GPS geolocation data is automatically saved to the video files of the Dash Cam. This can be viewed using the Xview Dash Cam App or the computer GPS player software which can be downloaded from the Xviewdriverassist.com website.

ATTENTION: To avoid any possible GPS signal interference, make sure the Dash Cam is away from any other car audio equipment.

HAND GESTURE PHOTO FUNCTION

Whilst recording you can wave your hand in front of the hand gesture sensor, the Dash Cam will make a click sound and automatically takes a photo. It will also capture and save 10 seconds of the current recorded video, 5 seconds before and 5 seconds after hand gesture initiation.

G-SENSOR FUNCTION (Conflict sensitivity)

G-sensor Sensitivity: High, Medium, Low Sensitivity or Shutdown (Turn off) is available. This function activates in the case of a car accident. When this function activates the Dash Cam will automatically sync a 10 second video clip and save it to the Event folder on the SD card. We recommend Low Sensitivity to avoid false triggers.

NOTE: With this function turned on it may fill up the SD card with locked video files. Re-format the SD card to create space. The device does NOT guarantee video recording of all accidents as built-in impact sensor may not be activated due to combination of user settings and the level of impact during the collision.

PARK MODE FUNCTION (Parked vehicles surveillance)

After starting this, the device will judge the vehicle status automatically. When the device is in driving conditions, the device will record 30 frames per second video loop; When the vehicle is in parking conditions, the device will record 1 frame per second. (Requires installation with optional XVIEW Hard Wire Kit (XVHWC) Sold separately.

FACTORY RESET
