Note

Infrared Guide

1. IR mode “Auto” means the camera automatically turns on/off infrared night vision. Its working principle is, by presetting the threshold value of luminance to sense the changes of luminance through the front lens:

2. If ambient luminance is less than the threshold value in any moment. then the camera turns on infrared night vision immediately.

3. If ambient luminance is higher than the threshold value in10 consecutive seconds. then the camera does not turn on infrared night vision.
   Accordingly, there is a possibility that the infrared night vision cannot be turned on precisely when the car passes along a road with bright street lights or in a bright underground garage, this can then lead to a dark image recording in the car cabin. We suggest manually setting IR MODE “ON” instead if every video in the night time needs to be seen by infrared night vision.

4. Screen: To set screen to off, the settings are “1 min off or 3 min off. Short press UP or Down for screen on.

5. Format: The data in memory card will be unrecoverable after formatting.

Video Playback

Trouble Shooting

The camera will not record
Check if there is enough storage space on the micro SD card. Check the number of protected files (read-only attribute). Format the SD card.

Camera records intermittently
The data stream is high-definition video and the file sizes are very large. We recommend a high-quality micro MLC SD card.

“File Error” prompt during playback
Corrupt data storage will result in the file error. Use the “FORMAT CARD” menu to format the micro SD card. Consider changing the SD card if this happens regularly.

Video is blurred
Remove the lens protection film. Ensure the lens and windscreen are clean. Use a lens cleaner to clean the lens if necessary.

The video has horizontal lines
This is due to the wrong “Flicker” setting. Adjust to the required frequency 50Hz / 60Hz.

The camera does not auto-start recording when the ignition is turned on
Set the Movie Clip Time to 1 / 3 / 5 minutes. Not OFF. The camera will not auto-start recording when Movie Clip Time is OFF and the micro SD card is full.

Camera is frozen
Unplug the power cable from the camera. Wait for 30 seconds then reconnect.

The camera takes a long time to boot up
If the camera has not been used for a long time it may take longer to boot up due to the initial conditioning of the supercapacitor. This is normal and not a fault. The camera does not have a built-in battery.
