To prevent excess vehicle battery drain, disconnect power to the product if you will not drive for an ex-
tended time (over three days). We recommend disconnecting even though this cable contains a feature
to prevent battery drain.
When using a non-supplied power cable (e.g. if needing a longer cable), contact a specialty store. (The fuse
box location will vary depending on each car manufacturer. Check the car manual before installation.)
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair or modify the product.
- Doing so may cause a malfunction and/or injury. The warranty will be void. Make enquiries with the
supplier for inspection and repair.
When driving in low light conditions, turning on the vehicle’s headlights will improve the recording
quality.
The recording quality may be affected in areas with a sudden change in light, such as entering or exiting
a tunnel.
A vehicle with metallic tinting on the front window could cause poor GPS signal reception.
After installation, ensure the vehicle’s brakes, lights, horn, etc. all operate correctly.
- An accident, electric shock and/or fire may be caused if any of the above functions are impeded by the
installation of this product.
Ensure the wiring will not contact moving parts (such as a seat rail), fasteners or the car frame.

such cases, no warranty or compensation can be given. It is recommended to format the SD card using
the PC viewer manager software.
The viewer does not run properly when the sound driver is not installed on the user’s PC or if the sound
device is disabled.
- If the message ‘Sound device open error’ is displayed twice, please re-run the viewer installation after
confirming that the sound device is working properly.

INSTALLATION

Please read the following points prior to installation.
- Turn off the product before installation, and ensure the vehicle key is not inserted and turned on at
any time during the installation.
- Only use the cables supplied. Do not use any other unverified cable.
- Any vehicle with dark or metallic tinting may have a negative influence on the GPS signal strength.
- Be sure to eliminate potential wave interferences around the GPS antenna and completely separate
from other devices and cabling, such as a hi-pass filter, navigation equipment etc.
GPS antenna connection
Connect the DVR to a GPS antenna to collect data including driving route, speed, time, direction
and location information.
* Recommended GPS antenna installation position
* Receiving a GPS signal could be impaired by tinting or a coating material on the window. It is not a product fault,
but a situation caused by metallic tinting or a metal component in the glass such as heat/demister wires. In this
case, relocate the antenna to a place where there are no obstructions.
* Before att aching the GP S antenna, c lean the surface and then secure firmly with double-sided tape, making sure the
“GPS” engraved side is facing upward. The attached double-sided tape will reach maximum strength after 24 hours.
Install with the “GPS” engraved
side facing upward.

Firmware update
Error Check
Please carefully read the below information if using an SD card over 64GB.
- The CAMOS DVR supports automatic formatting (FAT32) when a memory card larger than
64GB is first used.
- Only format memory cards using the PC Viewer Manager software.
- Proceed with the firmware update only after formatting the SD card via the PC Viewer
Manager. (The firmware update might not proceed after formatting on a PC, depending on
the file system selected (e.g. exfat). In this case, reformat using the PC Viewer Manager only,
which will use the correct format (FAT32). The firmware update will now proceed as normal.)
Firmware update
1. The previous version of firmware will be updated automatically if a
new update file is found during initial booting.
2. All LEDs flash every two seconds until the firmware update finishes.
* Please make sure the power stays on while updating.
Error Check
1. All LEDs flash every second when an error occurs or the SD card is
removed with power being connected. There will be a continuous
audible beep until the SD card is re-inserted or the power is turned off.
* The device turns on/off when the cover is opened and closed. Please
insert or remove the SD card by opening and closing the cover with the
engine off in order to prevent damage to recorded data stored on the
SD card.
Finished Recording
1. All LEDs turn off and then turn back on at the end of a normal,
successful recording.

※ Folder structure on
the SD card
When using a 512GB SD card with either of the 960H video resolutions, the
default two-minute file recording time is increased to four minutes.
The time to save the recorded video can vary and depends on the used capacity of
the SD card, amount of cameras used, configured settings and recording quality.
In some cases, videos have one to two seconds of duplicated footage with the next video,
which helps to prevent image loss. This is not a fault. E.g. Normal video time of 2 min. and 2s.
