Operation
Micro SD Card
The device can support micro SDHC cards (High Capacity SD) or SDXC cards (Extended Capacity SD) up to 128GB in capacity. A micro SD card of at least 16GB capacity and minimum speed of Class 10/U1 is required.
Insert a formatted micro SD card gently in the slot at the side of the unit. To remove the card from the slot, press the edge of the micro SD card inwards for it to pop out and then pull it out of the slot.
It is important to format the micro SD card before using it, so as to avoid any damage to the files created on DASH VIEW 30R.
Uniden only recommends using good quality MLC/SLC micro SD cards. Please check with the SD card manufacturer to ensure that the SD card used is rated for Dash Cam recording.
Video Storage Capacity
Refer to the table below for reference for the recording time for different card capacities and some of the recording resolutions.
A compatible micro SD card has to be inserted before you start using the unit. Ensure that the unit is switched off before inserting or removing the micro SD card.
GPS Reception information
Surroundings with tall buildings, tunnels, or poor weather conditions may
result in poor GPS reception or even loss of GPS signal. Over-tinting or a
rain sensor on the windshield can affect GPS reception.
If the signal is unstable even when you are driving, please try changing the
installation spot of your dash camera. For the first time use, it takes about
15~20 minutes to get a GPS signal, and after that, it normally takes about 3
minutes.
Sticker mount is difficult to remove after it is installed and will not stick well on a curved/textured or wet surface.
Power On
When connected to a car charger with power, the camera will automatically power on and start recording.
- Connect the other end of the DC car adaptor to your car’s cigarette lighter.
- Connect the DC car micro USB adaptor to the power connector USB port found on the camera.
- The camera will power on automatically when the car supplies the power to the camera.
- The RED led on the camera will start flashing and recording starts automatically.
Be sure to insert the SD card before powering up the device. Format the SD card before you start recording for the first time.
Power Off
When the car’s engine is turned off, the device will automatically turn off in a few seconds.
Power Information
The device is designed mainly for in-vehicle use, drawing on vehicle power
or the vehicle battery when using the hardwiring kit (HWK-1R).
The Dash VIEW 30R has an in-built high-quality, long-life supercapacitor. It provides enough backup power to ensure any recording in progress is stored safely before shutting the camera off.
Recording
