FAQs
Do I need to buy a memory card separately?
Yes, a MicroSD card is required for recording footage and is not included with the dash cam. Please check the product specifications for the maximum supported card size.
How do I format the memory card?
Navigate to the settings menu on the dash cam's 4-inch screen. Look for a 'Format Card' or 'Format SD' option and select it. Ensure you back up any important footage before formatting, as it erases all data.
Can the dash cam record when the car is off?
This model relies on the car charger for power, so it will only record when the car's ignition is on and providing power to the outlet.
What is the benefit of loop recording?
Loop recording ensures that the dash cam continuously records by automatically overwriting the oldest video files when the memory card is full. This means you don't have to worry about running out of storage space.
How does the G-sensor work?
The G-sensor detects sudden impacts or changes in motion, such as those experienced during a collision. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video file, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording, thus preserving crucial evidence.
Is the rear camera view always displayed?
The rear camera view can typically be set to display automatically when reversing or to be shown on demand via the device settings. You can also choose to have it record simultaneously without displaying constantly.
Troubleshooting
Dash cam not turning on
Ensure the car charger is securely plugged into both the power outlet and the dash cam. Verify the power outlet is functioning by testing with another device.
No footage recorded
Check that a compatible MicroSD card is inserted correctly and has sufficient storage space. Format the MicroSD card through the dash cam's menu.
Rear camera not displaying or recording
Confirm the rear camera cable is securely connected to both cameras and the main unit. Check the settings menu to ensure the rear camera input is enabled.
G-sensor keeps locking files unnecessarily
Adjust the G-sensor sensitivity in the settings menu to a lower level. Some road vibrations can trigger it on higher settings.
