Memory Card Installation

Step 1. Insert a Memory Card
You will need to insert a memory card before beginning recording. Push the memory card into the slot until it locks in place. The M2-4CH dash cam accepts memory cards with a maximum capacity of 256GB. Depending on the memory card’s manufacturer and type, some cards may not be compatible with the dash cam. Using an incompatible card may damage the device, the memory card, or corrupt the data stored on it. For reliable operation, use a Class 10 memory card with a capacity of at least 32GB.

Note

DO NOT insert or remove a memory card while the device is in operation.
It is recommended that you reformat the memory card every time images are transferred to the computer, or at least once a month.
Reformatting a memory card keeps important elements of data and also a cleaned ﬁle structure which helps to prevent error messages and missing images. Reformatting also restores the memory card, which can help prevent it from becoming corrupted.

Step 2. Formatting the Memory Card

Tap the icon to stop recording
Tap the icon to access settings
Tap General Settings
Toggle down to Format
Tap OK to format the card

Please format the card on the dash cam before using it. Before formatting a memory card, always remember to make backup copies of all important data stored on the device. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover loss of data resulting from user actions.

Note

Removing the memory card
Before removing a memory card from your dash cam, you must ﬁrst unmount it for safe removal.

Tap the icon to stop recording
Press and hold the power button to turn off the device
Gently push the memory card in and let go until it releases

Do not remove the memory card while the device is transferring or accessing information. Doing so can result in data loss, corruption, or damage to the memory card or device. Rexing is not responsible for losses that result from the use of damaged memory cards, including the loss of data.

Installation

Dash Cam Installation

Strap the dash cam to the rearview mirror of your vehicle with the rubber mounting strap. Adjust the angle of the cameras to ensure that it captures your desired view.
Mount the side and rear camera as shown below and then connect the rear camera and side camera to the HUB and connect to the main unit. Carefully route the power cable around the door and tuck in under the trim.
The rearview camera has two wire routing options as shown in the above ﬁgure. The ﬁrst part of both options is characterized with concealing the wire routing against the edges of the door(s). The device is conﬁgured with a streaming media rearview camera that provides clear traffic view behind the car. To obtain clearer and more intuitive images, it is recommended to mount the camera above the license plate (as shown by option B).
The device will be automatically be powered on when plugged into a 12V accessory socket or cigarette lighter and received a charge (i.e.: the vehicle is started). To turn the device on manually, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds until the welcome screen appears. The dash cam will automatically start recording when powered on.
The red wire of the rear camera cable provides a 12 Volt power to your rear camera. It is not necessary to connect the red wire to the power supply. But if you want to use the parking assist function, it’s recommended to connect to the power source of your reverse lights, so the screen will display the image of the rear camera automatically when the vehicle is in reverse. If you need more installation information, please reach out to care@rexingusa.com for assistance.
Note
The optional rearview camera is mounted on the rear of the car. Pay attention to its orientation during installation. Plug the rearview camera connector into the corresponding port of the dashcam once the installation is completed. Adjust the position of the lens to ensure that it aligns horizontal with the ground. Start the engine to check the video functionality of the device.
Plug the GPS module into the GPS port and secure the module to a position close to the A-pillar of the car. The antenna receiver side (the side without 3M adhesive) faces the outside and the side with 3M adhesive faces down. It should be properly secured.
When connecting the charger to the vehicle’s 12V DC outlet, be sure to use only a Rexing-approved charger. The charger should be at least a 2.5A charger which is designed and supplied speciﬁcally for use with your device. Using an incompatible charger can cause serious personal injury or damage to your device.

Note
Due to unstable voltages caused by starting the car engine, a voltage ﬂuctuation in some vehicles may be especially obvious. If a ﬂashing screen or some other unforeseeable operating problem occurs when you start the engine, it is recommended to unplug the device from the charger before starting the engine, and then reconnect it after the engine is running.

Note

Press the Power Button to turn On or Off the screen
Press and hold the Power Button for 3 seconds to turn the device on or off

After a GPS signal is found, the screen icon will turn from Gray to green as per the below icons. It will record the speed and location of your vehicle as you drive.

To playback a video on the computer, either use an SD card adapter or connect the device to the computer directly using the included USB cable. To playback a video using an SD card adapter, remove the memory card and insert it into an SD card adapter. Place the adapter in the computer.
The videos are stored at: \Video. Select the video to playback.

Basic Operations

Resolution
The dash cam can record videos in two, three, or four channels. The video resolution taken by each camera is FHD 1920x1080P.

Loop Recording
With Loop Recording Mode enabled, the device will continuously erase the older video as it records a new video, keeping only the footage captured over a user-selected time range. All video older than this range will be replaced with new video.

Note
Any locked video files on the memory card will remain protected, and will not be automatically deleted during Loop Recording.

Tap the icon to stop recording
Tap the icon to access settings
Tap the Video Settings Button
Toggle to Loop Recording and select your preferred time interval (we recommend 1 minute).
Tap the icon to exit

G-sensor
If a change in gravitational forces is detected, such as in the event of a vehicular accident, the g-sensor will signal to the camera, and an automatically locked file will be placed on the current video, preserving your most crucial footage. Locked videos can be found on the memory card under “\event”.

Note
Locked video files won’t be erased by Loop Recording, they will remain on the memory card until they are manually deleted, or when the card is formatted.

Tap the icon to stop recording
Tap the icon to access settings
Tap the Video Settings Button
Toggle to G-sensor and choose your desired sensitivity
Tap the icon to exit

Parking Monitor (Parking Surveillance Mode)
Parking monitor provides surveillance on your parked vehicle.

Option 1: Vibration Detection
Please select your preferred mode from the camera settings, it will allow the dash cam to switch to parking mode automatically if the vehicle’s engine turns off and switch back to the normal recording after the vehicle’s engine turns on.

Note
Rexing Dash Cam Smart Hardwire Kit, Type-C Hard Wire Kit Needed.

Gravity Sensing Record
The Gravity Sensing detects significant or sudden movement (such as an impact or collision), it will trigger an event recording. We suggest setting the “Gravity Sensing” to High sensitivity for Parking Mode Recording.

Note
If you do not use the parking mode function, please change the G-sensor setting to low sensitivity. Otherwise, the dash cam will easily lock the video and it cannot be deleted by the loop recording function. This will cause the memory card to be full of locked videos and cause the recorder to fail to work normally.

Note
Installing the provided hardwire kit is optional, but it can enhance your dash cam experience. The kit has a single cable for fuse connection, and the dash cam’s behavior depends on your connection choice:

Constant Fuse: Keeps the dash cam on even when the car is off, but disables the parking monitor.
On/Off Fuse: Activates parking monitor when parked and frees up your cigarette lighter. Parking recordings are saved in the locked video folders.

Choose the setup that best suits your needs. We kindly suggest taking a moment to watch our tutorial video. It’s designed to help you have a smooth and successful installation experience. We believe you’ll find it very helpful!
