Part 4 - Warm Tips:

1. Please set below Basic Settings:

1 To ensure smooth video recording, please kindly turn off

“motion detection” and “Parking monitor” while driving.

Detailed Reasons:

The motion detection and parking guard are used for parking. The

motion detection is caused by the system of the camera itself, that it

will default to off when the camera turns off. The motion detection

only can be worked when camera turns on. With the parking guard

function, the camera will turn on and record when there is collision

or vibration. When it turns on, the camera will detect and record

within 3m in front of your car. Therefore, if the motion detection and

12
parking guard are on during driving, it may cause "EMR" and produce

many small useless videos for there may be many shake during

driving. It will record and lock a short video when a shake happen

and then turn off; and it will turn on and record a short video when

there has another shake and then turn off...Therefore, we suggest to

turn them off while during.

However, if you hardwire the camera, the camera will do 24/7

continuous recording, you don't need to turn them on before

parking. For there will always have power supply for the camera,

which the camera could turn on and record automatically when there

is a shake a hit and then turn off.

PS: This camera is built-in battery, the battery capacity is small, just

like all dash cams on the market do the same. As a dash cam, it is used

with power supply all the time during diving. Large battery will

cause the security affairs like battery explosion. If you prefer the long

time monitoring during parking, we suggest to use a hard wire kit for

power supply. )

2 To avoid the sd card getting full easily, please set "Loop

recording" to 3minutes and set "G-sensor” to Low.

2. Please check whether the cigarette lighter of your car is always on

even the car in off. The camera will work always with power supply.

13
Hardwire the camera by a micro usb hardwire kit can solve this issue.

3. Red light of the camera means the camera is charging, and blue

light flashing means the camera is recording.

4. If your camera only records for a while and it keeps turning on and

turning off, Please check if the microSD card is full. Turn off

“parking monitor” and “motion detection” function. Or set “Reset

all the settings” on the menu page or contact our after-sale team for

help at any time!

5. If your camera turns off suddenly and cannot be powered on,

Please check whether both the light of the camera and the car

charger are on or not first, and then take out the sd card, reset the

camera, connect the camera to the computer by the original USB

cable to see whether the camera can be powered on.

6. If you cannot play the video on the computer smoothly, but you

can watch it on the camera, Please use another video player and we

suggest Potplayer or KM player or change the video code to H264 on

the menu page.

14
7. To know whether the camera do loop recording, Please transit all

files recorded by the camera to the computer and then check whether

the camera can loop by the record time of the files. The camera was

recording all the time, so if the time of the video are not continuous, it

means the camera can loop, it do cover the unlocked videos.

8. If the camera shows “Low Battery” and turns off while connecting

the car charger, firstly, please tell us whether the light of the dash cam

as well as the car charger is on or not when it’s charging. It can help

us find out the problem by knowing the details of the lights; secondly,

please check whether the connect ports as well as the cable of the car

charger are connected well or not; thirdly, please reset the dash cam

after you taking the SD card out, connect the dash cam to your

computer by the original USB cable that comes with the camera for

about 2hours, and them press the power button to see whether the

camera could be powered on. If the camera still cannot be charged

successfully, please do not hesitate to email us for help, we will sure

here provide you a satisfied solution based on your demand.

Any advice would be appreciated!
