System LED Indicators

There are four indicators in total. Each camera unit has an LED indicator that faces outside (to let others know you have cameras active). The front camera has an LED indicator that faces inside and an on-screen indicator (both for your reference). The outward LED indicators on both cameras can be switched off if you want the dash camera system to be less visible to people outside. Go to Setup > Detect Led > select Off > press OK.

Outward LED

Take a snapshot (long press)

There are 3 screen view options dual view, front camera, and rear camera. When the dash camera is powered on, press the OK button to switch views or switch off the screen (recording continues). `Screen Saver’ setting can also be used to automatically switch off the screen after 1 or 3 minutes.

Using a MicroSD Card

The camera doesn’t include internal storage and requires a microSD card (Class 10+ recommended and 128GB Max supported) to function. A 128GB microSD card should store over 16 hours of 1080p recordings. Use a high-quality, branded card for maximum reliability. Insert a microSD card into the front camera microSD card slot. Later, when the camera is powered on, format it (Format’ option in Dash CameraSetup’) to prepare the card for first use in the dash camera. Formatting will permanently erase any data on the microSD card. For best performance, format periodically (after backing up any important files). Format Warning’ inSettings’ can be switched on to remind you to do this.

Installation & Powering On/Off

The diagram below shows the parts and exact way the cables must be connected. You may wish to connect and test the dash camera system before proper, long- term installation in your vehicle. For convenient testing in your home, a power bank or wall charger with 1A or 2A USB port can be used instead of the car charger.

AUKEY Dual Dash Cameras- 07

For optimal performance, install the AUKEY DR03 front/rear camera in the top center of your front/rear windshield, facing directly ahead/behind. For the front camera, use either the sticker mount or the suction mount. They both have separate tilt and pivot adjustment. The rear camera is mounted with its fixed-position sticker mount (there is also a blank space). This camera has a tiltable lens barrel to adapt to any rear windshield angle
Use the 7m/23ft Mini-B Cable (with mini-B connectors at both ends) to connect the two cameras. The L-shaped mini-B connector plugs into the Mini-B AV Input of the front camera and the other end into the Mini-B AV Output of the rear camera
Connect the 4m/13ft USB Mini-B Cable (with a standard USB-A connector at one end) to one of the car charger ports and to the front camera Mini-B Power Input
Cable routing should be as shown in the following two diagrams. Use the cable clips to help fix the two cables conveniently and safely. A trim removal tool is included for the concealment of cables behind trim and carpeting for a tidier finish

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. After powering on each time you start your car, the system will start recording automatically. To power off, disconnect the car charger or connected mini-B cable
Note: Use the included cables to ensure optimum performance of AUKEY DR03.

Video Recording

Separate files are created for the recordings from the front and rear camera, so you can view each camera’s footage separately and at full size. The recordings are unaffected by the choice of screen view or switching the screen off.

Loop Recording: Recording will begin automatically after powering on with a microSD card in the device. 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 by the front or rear camera
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

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 the protected emergency recording is in progress
Auto File Backup
Once the G-sensor is activated by a sudden impact, the device will automatically make a recording and protect it from being overwritten. 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

Turn on/off audio recording by long-pressing when in recording mode (or by adjusting in the `Setup’ menu). When audio recording is on, in-car audio will be recorded during video recording. Voicing details of possible hazards that may develop, especially when off-camera, may provide useful information. You can even use it to record car license plate numbers that may not be captured on the video.

USB File Transfer

Connect the Dash Camera (with card inside) to your computer using your own USB mini-B data cable (the included cable is for power only). It should be recognized as a removable device (with a USB connector image displayed on-screen)

Keep important videos and photos backed up elsewhere to protect against file corruption or loss caused by any SD card issues.
