Frequently Asked Questions - RVCGM-80B CRUX

How do I install the CRUX RVCGM-80B dash cam?

Clean the windshield area, attach the suction mount, connect the power cable to the cigarette lighter, and route the cable along the edge of the windshield.

Why does the dash cam turn off shortly after the car is turned off?

The dash cam relies on the car's power supply. When the engine is off, the built-in battery lasts only for parking mode. To extend use, hardwire it to a constant power source.

How do I format the microSD card?

Insert the card, go to Settings, select 'Format' and confirm. Format monthly to ensure reliable recording. The card must be Class 10 or higher.

The recorded video is choppy or missing files. What can I do?

Use a high-quality microSD card (Class 10, UHS-I) and format it in the dash cam. Ensure loop recording is enabled. If issues persist, try a different card.

How do I enable parking mode?

Parking mode detects motion or impact when the car is parked. Ensure the dash cam is connected to constant power (hardwire kit). In settings, enable 'Parking Mode'.

Can I view footage on my phone?

The RVCGM-80B does not have Wi-Fi. To view videos, remove the SD card and use a computer or connect the dash cam to a monitor via the AV out port.

What do I do if the screen shows 'SD Card Error'?

Turn off the device, remove and reinsert the SD card. If error persists, format the card in the dash cam or replace it with a compatible card (up to 32 GB, Class 10).

How can I clean the lens without scratching it?

Use a soft microfiber cloth slightly dampened with lens cleaner. Gently wipe the lens in circular motions. Avoid using rough materials.

What is the warranty coverage?

CRUX typically offers a 1-year limited warranty. Keep your purchase receipt. For details, visit the CRUX website or contact support.

Where can I find the latest firmware?

Check the CRUX official website under 'Support' or 'Downloads'. Firmware updates may improve performance and add features. Read instructions carefully before updating.
