INITIAL SETUP

  • A Insert the microSD card into the camera.

    • Use branded cards from reputable U3 class manufacturers with up to 256 GB.
    • Only remove the card when the camera is off.
    • For first use, format the card within the camera. Regularly reformat for optimal performance.
  • B Plug the adapter into the car cigarette lighter and use the USB cable to connect it to the camera mount. The camera is designed to operate only when connected to a power source.
    Instead of a battery, the camera uses a supercapacitor, which has a longer life-span than a standard battery.

  • C When powered, the camera will automatically turn on and start recording.
    Some vehicles require turning the ignition first.

  • D Perform basic camera setup before attaching the mount to the windscreen.

MOUNTING TO WINDSCREEN

  • A The ideal place to attach the dashcam is the space between the windscreen and the rearview mirror so as not to obstruct the driver‘s view.
    Make sure that the cable does not interfere with the active security elements in the car (airbag).

  • B The mounting surface should be clean and dry.
    The ideal temperature for adhesion is 20°C – 40°C.

  • C Remove the protective film from the 3M adhesive pad on the camera mount.

  • D Before adhering to the glass, turn on the camera and make sure it provides the right viewpoint.

  • E Press the 3M pad firmly onto the glass and hold.
    Use electrostatic stickers for easier mount removal if desired.

BASIC FUNCTIONS

  • G- sensor
    • The G-sensor is designed to detect impacts. If it senses one, the current video will be automatically protected, preventing it from being overwritten.
    • Note: If the sensitivity is set too high and the vehicle drives on rough terrain, the SD card may fill up as multiple videos get marked for protection.
  • Loop Recording
    • The camera automatically divides the recording into shorter video files and starts overwriting the oldest unprotected files with new ones when the microSD card is full.
    • This ensures you don‘t have to worry about available space on the card.
  • File Protection
    • To protect the file from overwriting, touch the ATTENTION icon while it‘s being captured.
    • The buttons are disabled when protecting recordings.
    • If the current loop lasts less than 10 seconds, the previous video is also saved. If there are less than 10 seconds left in the current loop, the next video will also be saved.

RADAR REPORTING FUNCTION

  • The integrated GPS module logs your speed and GPS coordinates while alerting you to stationary speed cameras and red-light cameras.
  • As you approach a radar, the camera will give an audible beep and display a warning.
  • The database contains more than 40,000 stationary radars across Europe.
