The video recordings will be saved in time segments 1- 3 -5 Minutes depending on your selection within this feature. Loop recording on a dashcam allows for continuous recording even if the SD memory card reaches full capacity. This means older files are overwritten once the SD card reaches its file size limit. In the event of an incident, any files that have been protected by activation of the G- sensor, or by manually pressing the lock button will not be overwritten and will stay on the SD card. Therefore, important clips that can be used for insurance purposes or sent to the Police will stay locked on the card and will not be deleted. This also means that, at some point, your SD card will be full of protected recordings, and the SD Card would need to be formatted in order to make free space.)
Interval: Close, 100ms, 200ms, 500ms.
HDR: (It improves contrast in an image while maintaining clarity. HDR can be particularly important in a Dash Cam in helping to produce vibrant and clearer imagery, ultimately resulting in enhanced footage. When driving at night time and in low light levels, HDR can significantly improve image clarity. It will record multiple exposure levels for each frame and conduct tone mapping to ensure the optimum footage is recorded.)
Exposure: (Increasing exposure makes videos and images look lighter or darker. If your video is too dark, the selection of a positive number is recommended. If your video is too bright, select negative numbers)
Motion: Close/Open (Motion detection is a memory-saving feature that only records footage where motion is taking place. It’s supported only when the car is in the ignition.)
Watermark: Use this feature to add a watermark to your recordings
Gravity: Close/ Low/Medium/High (The Dash Cam includes a built-in G-Sensor which allows the device to determine when the car has been in a collision. If it detects a collision, it automatically locks the recording being made at the time of the accident. High selection will make the system more sensitive, and a low setting ensures the system will react only to greater shocks)
Sound: Close/Open (Use this button to enable or disable audio recording on your footage)
Guard- Parking mode (In order to record when you're not driving your dashcam will need power from a hardwire installation)

Dual-mode and rear camera installation
Once the rear camera has been connected, tap this icon to switch between front view, rear view, or dual view.
*Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove each of the screws holding your rear license plate in place. Then, pull the plate off and set it aside. Make sure you don't lose the screws, right above the license plate, place the rear camera, and using a marker, mark the two holes through the rear camera stand. Make sure the camera is aligned straight.
*Pop open your trunk and look for a solid interior panel covering the opposite side of your license plate mounting area. Removing this panel will expose the car’s rear wiring chambers.
*Please connect the RED cable to the positive lead of the reverse light wires (Cord that connects your car's tail lights to the dashboard). Reverse light wires are the cords that connect your car’s tail lights to the dashboard. They hook directly into your vehicle’s tail lights and are normally located in the hatch or trunk of your car.
*Using a wire stripper or pliers, peel back the rubber covering the wires. Then, use a screwdriver or other thin tool to poke a hole through the middle of each exposed wire, separating the individual wire strands. (For safety, make sure you do this while the car is turned off.)
*Attach 1 of your bare wire cables to the camera cord’s power connector. Then, poke your bare wires through the center of the exposed reverse light wires and twist them together. For safety, make sure you wrap the combined wires in electrical tape.
*important* (Make sure you poke your positive (usually red) bare wire through the positive reverse light wire and the negative (usually black) bare wire through the negative reverse light wire.)
*Connect your RCA cable to the camera cord’s video connector if necessary. Then, run it through your vehicle to the area by the fuse box. Depending on your vehicle model, you’ll usually be able to do this by peeling back the automobile’s headliner or side panels and pulling your cable through the exposure chamber.
You have two different installation methods the position of the rear camera depends mostly on the view angle you prefer the most:
Hardwiring Instructions
INTRODUCTION
A hardwire kit is a device used to help you directly connect your dashcam to your vehicle’s fuse box. By hardwiring your dashcam, you’ll be able to run and operate your dashcam 24/7, even when your vehicle is turned off.
The installation process should take around 20 minutes and will require several tools to ensure a safe installation. Before you begin, please get familiar with the Fuse Box of our vehicle. Understanding the role and how the fuse box works will be crucial to the installation process.
Hardwiring your dashcam is an advanced installation method that requires technical know-how. We highly recommend reading through this guide in its entirety before beginning.
***NOTE: Improper installation and handling may cause serious damage to your vehicle and Dashcam.
The seller is not liable for any mishandling or damages that occur due to improper installation or misuse of the device.
Please check the health of your vehicle’s battery before installing your hardwire kit and dashcam. If your car battery is in poor health, we recommend replacing your battery.
REQUIRED TOOLS
For hardwiring your Dashcam you will need:
Hardwiring kit
Add-a-Fuse taps and extra fuses ( sizes: ATO (regular), mini fuse, low profile mini fuse, Micro 2 fuse. Fuse sizes vary depending on your vehicle design and model, make sure to check your fuse box to see what type of fuse your vehicle requires)
A multimeter or circuit tester
Pliers, fuse puller, wire crimper, or a clamp
PROCEDURE
Locate your fuse box and remove the pannel- The location of your car fuse box will differ from car to car. In most cases, your vehicle’s fuse box can be located inside the engine bay or inside your trunk. Refer to your user manual for the exact location of your battery.
Decide which fuse to use- We suggest using fuse slots rated between 10A-30A. Avoid fuses related to safety features, such as airbags, horns, stability control programs, etc. Fuses that control certain elements such as the radio, cigarette lighter, garage door opener, sunroof, etc. are usually safe to use.
Different cars use different fuse types, select the fuse tap that matches the fuse type you have in your car ( ATO (regular), mini fuse, low profile mini fuse, Micro 2 fuse)
Hardwire cable includes 2 wires (red wire, and ground-black wire) that will need to be connected to the fuse box. The constant fuse slots will always have power and ACC fuse slots will only have power when the ignition is on.
The black wire is ground
Check which fuse type your car uses and crimp the red wire of the cable to the appropriate size fuse tap
Choose the most suitable fuse. Open your fuse box and use the multimeter to find a constant 12-volt fuse.
Probe the fuse you have selected (it can be a lamp or some other minor car fuse) to see if it has constant power (the car must be off, no ignition, when the car is off, the multimeter should show voltage when you probe it with Multimeter). Using a fuse puller or a pair of pliers, gently remove the fuse you have selected.
The fuse tap has two fuse slots: the upper is for powering the Dashcam, use the new fuse (make sure it has lower or equal amperage than the original fuse) and put it in the upper slot, the bottom slot is for the fuse you have taken out of your car, please put it in there.
Plug the fuse tap into the fuse box.
IMPORTANT STEP: Make sure you put fuse tap in the correct orientation. Each fuse slot has a positive and a negative terminal depending on your vehicle’s model. This means that the power is coming into your fuse slot from one side and exiting from the other. Use your circuit tester or multimeter to test each terminal of the constant fuse slot for power.
The terminal with the power is positive and the terminal with no power is negative.
After testing the terminals of the constant fuse slot, insert the fuse tap (Add-a-Fuse)in such a way that the terminal that is furthest away from the wire goes into the positive terminal of the fuse slot.
Ground your wire- The metal ground will need to be attached to a metal bolt or screw within the vehicle chassis. This is achieved by loosening the bolt/screw, sliding the connector underneath the bolt, and tightening again.
Hide a cable- Lead and tuck the cable up to the headliner and your Dashcam
Plug the cable into the Dashcam and turn it on
Note:
Make sure your Parking more is turned ON (check settings) so that it can turn on every time the vehicle detects impact
