FAQs
Does the camera record when the car is parked?
Yes, if the G-sensor detects an impact, it will lock the footage. However, this depends on the power supply remaining active.
What type of storage card should I use?
Use a high-quality, high-speed (Class 10 or higher) microSD card, ideally one rated for dashboard camera use.
Is the rear camera waterproof?
The rear camera is designed for internal mounting on the rear windshield and is not intended for exterior environmental exposure.
How do I view recorded footage?
You can view footage directly on the device screen or by removing the microSD card and using a card reader on your computer.
Will the camera drain my car battery?
The device consumes very little power, but it is best to ensure it is plugged into a switched power source that turns off with the ignition.
Troubleshooting
Device is not recording continuously.
Check if the microSD card is formatted correctly and that the loop recording feature is enabled in settings.
G-sensor is locking too many files.
Access the settings menu and adjust the G-sensor sensitivity to a lower level to prevent false triggers from road bumps.
Rear camera feed is black or disconnected.
Inspect the connection cable between the front and rear units to ensure it is firmly seated in the AV-IN port.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation begins by mounting the front unit via the provided adhesive or suction mount near the top of the windshield. The rear camera cable must be threaded through the vehicle's headliner, a process that may require trim removal tools for a clean finish. Compatibility is generally universal for most 12V vehicle systems. To maintain the device, avoid using harsh chemicals on the lens; a microfiber cloth is recommended to remove smudges that could distort video quality. Always ensure the internal date and time settings are synchronized to keep your video timestamps accurate for legal or insurance purposes.
