Frequently Asked Questions - DCAM-006 Gembird

How do I install the Gembird DCAM-006 dash cam?

Clean your windshield and attach the suction mount. Insert a microSD card (up to 32 GB). Connect the USB car charger and route the cable neatly. Adjust the camera angle and press record.

What SD card type is recommended?

Use a Class 10 or higher microSD card, up to 32 GB. Format the card in the dash cam before first use for optimum performance.

Does the dash cam have a battery?

Yes, it has a small built-in rechargeable battery (approx. 200 mAh) to maintain settings during short power loss, but it is not designed for long-term recording without external power.

How do I view recorded videos?

You can view videos on the built-in 2-inch screen, connect the dash cam to a computer via USB, or remove the microSD card and use a card reader.

What is the G-sensor and how does it work?

The G-sensor detects sudden impacts or vibrations. When triggered, it locks the current video file from being overwritten during loop recording. You can adjust sensitivity in settings.

How do I enable parking mode?

Parking mode requires a hardwire kit (not included) to keep the dash cam powered when the car is off. Once installed, the camera enters standby and automatically records when motion or impact is detected.

Why is my dash cam not recording?

Check that the microSD card is properly inserted and formatted. Ensure the cable is connected to the car charger and the charger is plugged in. Also verify that loop recording is enabled and the card is not full.

Can I use the dash cam while charging?

Yes, the Gembird DCAM-006 is designed to be used while connected to the car charger. It records continuously and charges its internal battery simultaneously.

What is the maximum recording length per file?

Typically, video files are split into 1, 3, or 5-minute segments (configurable in settings). This makes it easier to manage files and ensures that a crash does not corrupt the entire recording.

How do I reset the dash cam?

If the device freezes, insert a paperclip into the reset hole (if available) or hold the power button for 10 seconds. If that fails, disconnect the power and remove the battery (if accessible) for 30 seconds.
