Location

To have a better view, try to install the front camera at the center of the windshield. Make sure the lens is located in a place where the windshield is clean to ensure the view is clear. The recommended rear camera installation location is above the number plate.

Make sure the device is not installed in a place where it will interfere with the airbag. Make sure the GPS will not be obstructed by the windshield's sun control film (window tint).

Installing the Camera

1. Slide the sticker mount bracket into the device bracket slot and make sure it fits tightly.
2. Clean the area you desire to have the dash cam placed before sticking the device.
3. Peel off the sticker protective film from the 3M sticker
4. Press and apply force on the mount onto the windshield behind the rear-view mirror.
5. Mount the rear camera above the number plate. The two included screws and double sided tape will hold the camera in place.
6. Connect the AV cable from the rear camera to the front camera.
7. Arrange and hide the cables to avoid obstruction for the driver's view.
8. Adjust the viewing angle of the camera by loosening the screw of the bracket and fasten it back to secure the viewing angle. We recommend the camera should point slightly downwards 10^ below eye level.

Do not install the product in a location where it can obstruct the driver's field of vision.

Please ensure the rear camera connection cable is connected/disconnected when the device power is off or it will damaged the product.

Rear Camera

When the rear camera is connected to the front camera while it is powered on, the rear camera image will be displayed in the top right corner of the LCD screen. The recording resolution for rear camera is 1080P.

Reverse Camera (Optional)

The rear camera also works as a reverse camera when you connect the red wiring to the reverse light power connector. After you set it up, when you put your vehicle in reverse, the reverse camera image will be displayed.

To setup the rear camera, please follow the diagram below.

Video Out Red: +ve 12V Reverse Light Cable

It is recommended to get a vehicle electrician to hard wire the cable to the Reverse Light Power to use it as a reverse camera.

GPS Reception information

Surroundings with tall buildings, a tunnel, or poor weather conditions may result in poor GPS reception or even lost GPS signal. Over-tinting or a rain sensor on the windshield can affect GPS reception.

If the signal is unstable even when you are driving, please try changing the installation spot of your dash camera. For the first time use, it takes about 15\~20 minutes to get GPS signal, and after that, it normally takes about 3 minutes.

Sticker mount is difficult to remove after it is installed and will not stick well on a curved/textured or wet surface.

Micro SD Card

A compatible micro SD card (not supplied) has to be inserted before you start using the unit. Ensure that the unit is turned off before inserting or removing the micro SD card.

The device can support micro SDHC cards (High Capacity SD) up to 64GB in capacity. A micro SDHC card of at least 8GB capacity and minimum speed of Class 10 is recommended.

Insert a formatted micro SD card gently in the slot at the side of the unit. To remove the card from the slot, press the edge of the micro SD card inwards for it to pop out and then pull it out of the slot.
