FAQs
☟ Does it have app features, can I use app on my phone to watch or playback the videos?
No, it doesn't support Wi-Fi, APP and Bluetooth.
You can conect it to your computer with the Mini USB data Cable, copy the video to the PC, then replay the record videos.
Or you can take out the SD card and read it on the computer with a Card Reader to copy the video to the PC, then replay the record videos.
☟ Can I plug this into a USB phone charger? Or do I need to use the charger plug that comes with it?
Yes, you can plug the dashcam into a USB charger for power using a USB cable.
However, please note that the dashcam requires a 5V 2A power supply.
It is recommended to use the original car charger, which outputs at 5V 2A.
☟ Does the car camera record continue after the SD card is full?
You can activate the "loop recording" so when the storage is full it will loop back to the earliest file and record over it.
☟ What if my camera stops recording? Shouldn't it be looping?
Why Does the SD Card Fill Up?
G-Sensor and Parking Monitor Settings:
These features, when enabled, lock videos whenever the dash cam detects a shake or an emergency brake. Locked videos are crucial as evidence in case of incidents.
Overwriting Normal Videos:
When the SD card is full of normal video clips, the dash cam automatically overwrites the oldest files with new recordings.
Locked Videos Require Manual Deletion:
Locked videos are never overwritten automatically. If the SD card is full of locked clips, you will need to manually clean or format the card to allow further recording.
How to Manage Locked Videos More Effectively
Why Locked Videos Are Important:
Locked videos are stored when the dash cam detects an impact, ensuring critical evidence is preserved.
Adjusting Sensitivity:
The G-Sensor sensitivity determines how easily the dash cam detects impacts or shakes.
Setting the sensitivity to Middle or Low can help reduce the frequency of locked videos, preventing the SD card from filling up too quickly.
Important Safety Reminder
Do Not Disable the G-Sensor or Parking Monitor:
Disabling these features compromises the safety and effectiveness of your dash cam, leaving you without critical evidence in case of incidents.
We strongly advise against disabling these settings, as it may endanger drivers.
Your understanding and cooperation in maintaining these safety features are greatly appreciated.
☟ Is this dash camera to record while ignition is off?
This dash cam can record even when the ignition is off, as it has a mini built-in battery.
However, it records a short 10-15 second clip only when the parking monitor feature is activated and detects motion or a shake.
☟ How to install the hardwire kit?
Helpful Tips
Professional Installation Recommended: We strongly recommend having the Hardwire Kit installed by a professional.
Turn Off Ignition: Ensure the ignition is turned off before starting the installation of the Hardwire Kit.
Test Polarity and Grounding: Use the proper tools to carefully test the polarity and grounding before finalizing the installation.
Avoid Critical Fuse Slots: For safety, do not use any fuse slot that powers critical vehicle components, such as airbags.
Installation Steps
Connect the BAT+(B+) Fuse Tap: Attach the BAT+ (B+) fuse tap to the positive terminal of the Constant Fuse Slot. This fuse provides power even when the engine is off.
Connect the ACC Fuse Tap: Attach the ACC fuse tap to the ACC Fuse Slot in the fuse box. The ACC slot is only powered when the ignition is on.
Ground the Black Wire: Crimp the black wire and securely screw it to any non-coated metal bolt or screw in your vehicle to ground it.
Final Connection: Plug the hardwire kit into the dash cam. The installation is now complete.
☟ Do I need to purchase additional parts for the parking monitoring to work while it is parked?
There is no need to purchase additional components.
The dash cam's built-in battery supports the parking monitor function even when the car is turned off.
☟ How can the rear camera automatically turn on when reversing?
Please ensure that the red cable from the rear camera is securely connected to the positive lead of the reverse lamp(which activates only when the car is in reverse gear).
This connection is crucial for the reverse signal to be detected on the screen.
If you confirm that the cable is properly connected and the issue persists, please let us know, and we will proceed with replacing your rear camera.
