Use Wi-Fi to connect the dash cam to smartphone for image and video playback. Auto-Start and Motion Detection: The dash camera will begin recording when the vehicle starts and the motion-detection will trigger recording if someone bumps into your car whilst parked. Loop Record Functionality: Never waste space on your memory card, the in-car dash camera will record in a continuous loop, recording over unneeded footage unless a collision occurs. High Definition: Record in full HD 1080p at 30 frames per second and capture the whole road through a 170 Degrees ultra-wide angle lens and watch back on the 2.45 Inch LCD display. Day or Night: The Observer 1080p features WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology offering nice visibility in contrasting conditions which means enhanced HD recording day or night.
The Kitvision Observer Dashcam is designed for drivers who want an automatic and reliable way to record their journeys, providing crucial footage in case of incidents. Its key benefit is peace of mind through continuous, high-definition recording with smart features like auto-start and G-sensor. A potential consideration is the need for a compatible memory card, which is not always included.

FAQs
Does the dashcam come with a memory card?
Typically, memory cards are sold separately. Please check the product packaging or listing for confirmation. A compatible microSD card is required for recording.
How long does the battery last?
The dashcam is primarily powered by the vehicle's electrical system via the car charger. It does not have a long-lasting internal battery for extended standalone use.
What is the purpose of the G-Sensor?
The G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or changes in motion (like a collision). When activated, it automatically locks the current video file, preventing it from being overwritten by the loop recording function.
Can I use the dashcam at night?
Yes, the Observer 1080p features Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, which enhances visibility in low-light and high-contrast conditions, improving night-time recording quality.
How do I access my recorded videos?
You can access recordings directly via the 2.45-inch LCD display on the dashcam, or use the Wi-Fi feature to connect to your smartphone and playback videos using the dedicated app.
What is the maximum storage capacity for the memory card?
The dashcam supports microSD cards up to 128GB. It is recommended to use a Class 10 or higher speed card for optimal performance.
Will the dashcam record when the car is parked?
Yes, with motion detection enabled, the dashcam can trigger recording if it detects movement around the vehicle while parked. However, continuous recording in parking mode may require a dedicated power solution or accessory.
Troubleshooting
Dashcam not turning on
Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the dashcam and the vehicle's power outlet. Try a different power outlet to rule out a faulty socket.
No video being recorded
Verify that a compatible microSD card is inserted correctly and has sufficient free space. Format the memory card through the dashcam's menu if issues persist.
Wi-Fi connection unstable or not working
Restart both the dashcam and your smartphone. Ensure you are within range of the dashcam's Wi-Fi signal. Check for any app updates.
