This device is intended to be installed in a vehicle. Always obey all federal, state
and local traffic laws and regulations. It is driver’s responsibility to know all
applicable laws.
Driver should only operate the device’s controls or adjust its position when the
vehicle is stationary. While the vehicle is moving, only vehicle passengers may
operate the device, provided they do not obscure driver’s view of the road and
they do not interfere with the driver’s access to vehicle controls.
Carefully select a safe location to install the device and its cables, so it does not
obscure driver’s view of the road, prevent or limit operation of vehicle controls.
Take a note that although Brigele did its best to provide you with reliable mount,
the device may detach during driving because of vibrations and temperature
changes. This is normal for suction cup and adhesive tape mounts, and is not a
defect. When mounting the device, make sure it won’t damage the vehicle or
injure vehicle occupants due to falling off. You assume responsibility for damages
to the vehicle and its occupants resulting from the device falling off.
If you are unsure about safe location for the device or its cables, consult with your
mechanic or vehicle dealer.
WAR I G:
Never place the device, the cables or mounts in the area of airbag deployment.
Specically, if the vehicle is equipped with side curtain airbags, never place the
cable under A-pillar headliner on the side facing the door. Deploying airbag
may force the device to detach with a great speed, possibly causing severe
injures to vehicle occupants.

In some states there may be regulations on where (and
whether) you can affix objects to the windshield.
Also some states may limit use of in-vehicle video event
recorders. For example, your dashboard camera may
record only 30 seconds before and after the “triggering
event”: a crash, sudden acceleration, and so on – unless
it is used for “monitoring driver’s performance”.
Make sure to check your local laws before installing the
device. For more information please refer to http://www.brigele.com/state-laws/
Remember not to abuse the privacy of others. We recommend that you will warn
your passengers that their conversations may be recorded by your dashboard
camera. We also recommend placing warning sticker that comes with your device
at conspicuous place inside your vehicle.
Please take note that California law requires these stickers to be present in the car.

Introduct on
Congratulations on your purchase of dashboard camera. This is modern, reliable
and simple device and we do hope it will accompany many of your journeys to
come.
Dashboard camera, or, simply, a dash cam, records video and audio of your driving.
It will provide indubitable account of what really happened should you need to
prove your point – whatever the situation may be. It could be a crash, or you
contesting the wrongfully issued ticket, or a case of insurance scam. It can even
help if your car has been vandalized or hit-and-ran1. Some models can even record
your speed and GPS location. No matter what, you will always have an eyewitness
standing by your side – because dash cam video can even be accepted as
evidence in court.
But the dash cam can be used not only as protection device. It can give you much
fun by capturing scenic views, driving through memorable places or simply
catching a rare or stunning event, such as a deer crossing in front. You can save
such videos in your archive, show them to your friends and family or share on
Facebook or YouTube.
Just make sure you have your device mounted, a memory card installed, and
power attached – and let your journey begin!
1Parking monitoring mode is available not on all Brigele dash cams.

Qu ck start and nstallat on
Your dashboard camera consists of two main parts: rearview mirror assembly
(main unit) and rear all-weather camera. Main unit does actual recording and may
work with or without rear camera.
While main unit can be only placed over your original rearview mirror, rear camera
can be located practically everywhere. We suggest mounting rear cam at either
behind rear window or above rear license plate. Note that rear camera
is weather-proof and can be located outside, as well as inside the car.

 OTE:
Use of rear camera is optional: the system will work without rear camera.
owever, to have a full advantage of two channel recording, we recommend
using rear camera as well, even if your vehicle is already equipped with backup
camera.

Main unit

Attach rubber fasteners to the upper hooks on the main unit. Do not attach
them to the hooks at the bottom. Then place main unit over your original
rearview mirror.
Make sure main unit is shifted to the right to accomodate the lens. Also give
some room for the lens to be adjusted.
After you placed the main unit over rearview mirror, pull down rubber fasteners
and clasp them at lower hooks.

 OTE:
Fasten the main unit to the rearview mirror rmly – otherwise it would tremble
and produce blurry video.

Make sure you are inserting the
card correctly. If the card swings
sideways, turn it over. Never force
the card in – you can damage
both the device and the card.
Plug the power cord into USB port
on the camera. Insert power
adapter into cigarette lighter
socket.
You can route the power cord
around windshield as shown below.
Use provided cable clips to secure
cables.

rotate the lens like a watch crown.
When rotating, check vertical lines close
to the center of the screen.
If display on main unit goes off during
adjustment, shortly press [] button to

First, decide where you would like to place rear camera. Rear camera is weather
proof and can be mounted outside. owever, it also works great if mounted inside
the vehicle.
You may need to reverse metal support leg on the rear camera to install rear
camera on rear window. To do so, simply unscrew small bolt xing the leg and
turn the leg over.
Be prepared to drill holes and do complicated cabling if you’re placing rear camera
outside, for example, above rear license plate or on pickup truck’s tailgate. If you
don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself, ask your vehicle dealer or mechanic to do
this job for you.
After mounting rear camera, connect its jack to AV-IN
socket on the main unit.
After rear camera connected, video from rear camera
starts to record automatically.

Recorded video is located on memory card. Video usually is split into the
segments, and each segment is a separate le. Files are named by date and time:
rst goes year and date, and then a time when recording started. Last symbol in
the le’s name is a camera: A is for front cam, and B for rear cam.
For example, 2016_0505_1812123B.mov says that a le has been recorded on May
5th, 2016 at 6:12pm and contains video from rear camera.
Many computers already have SD card reader. For those that don’t, use USB card
reader (sold separately).
Insert your memory card into provided microSD to SD card
adapter, and then insert the adapter into SD card reader. You
should be able to see the les on the memory card. You can
use any player software to view and play the video.
We recommend using free VLC player software. It is available
for download for free at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Your dash cam has parking monitoring function. This means that once parking
monitoring is on, your dash cam can wake up and record if it detects a hit.
When you shut down the engine, the camera shuts down too. owever, it still
monitors if there is a vibration. If it detects an impact, it instantly turns on and
starts recording a 20 second video clip. Then it shuts down again to conserve its
battery.
This feature is very useful to identify an offender in hit-and-run or vandalism cases.
You can turn it on in General settings menu, under Parking monitoring section.

Advanced sett ngs
This section describes advanced features of your dashboard camera. Normally,
you may want to keep factory default settings and to skip this section. owever,
if you prefer to have complete control or to make ne-tuning, this section is for
you.
Your dashboard camera can record video in a loop. This means that once the
memory card runs out of free space, newer recordings start replacing oldest ones
in a loop. This feature can be set up in video settings, by setting up segment
length. Video recording can be split into segments, the continuous fragments of
video.
You can adjust segment length or to disable loop recording by turning off video
segmentation: select OFF in “Segment length” menu. By default, the segment
length is 3 minutes, loop recording is on.
Menu: Video recording settings
Setting: Segment length
To conserve free space on memory card, your dashboard camera can record video
only when it sees a motion in front. This can be particularly useful if you frequently
use your dashboard camera when a vehicle is stationary.
By default, motion detection is off.
Menu: Video recording settings
Setting: Motion detection
Your dashboard camera can detect impacts and rapid acceleration or braking with
built-in shock sensor. When shock sensor detects an impact or unusual
acceleration, it can protect current segment, if a camera is recording. If camera is
not recording, it will start the recording immediately.
By default, shock sensor’s sensitivity is set Medium.

Your dashboard camera can imprint current time and date, and license plate
number as a watermark on the video. It may be useful to have additional account
on when exactly the incident took place, and on which vehicle the camera was
installed.
By default, date and time is being stamped on the video. To turn it off, go to Date
stamp menu in General settings.
To enter the license plate number, go to general setup and select “License plate
number”. Use [] and [] buttons to select characters, [OK] to move to the next
character. Underscore mark ( _ ) denotes space.
To clear license plate number, replace all characters with underscore marks.
Menu: General settings
Setting: Date stamp, License plate number
In some cases, traffic lights and other illuminated constructions may icker. This
is because they actually icker with the frequency of alternating current in the
power grid. This icker is invisible to human eye, but can be captured by video
camera.
There is a setting to compensate this, Frequency, in the global settings of your
dashboard camera. By default it is set to 60 z, exactly the frequency in power grid
in the United States.
Normally you don’t need to change it. But if you travel abroad where the
alternating current’s frequency is different (e.g. in Europe it is 50 z), you will need
to adjust this setting to avoid ickering.
