Getting Started
Setting Up Your Camera
Set up your camera inside your vehicle to ensure easy access to power.

Format the Micro SD card when using the unit for the first time.
To save recorded videos stably, DOD Tech recommends
formatting your SD card every two weeks.
Note: Please purchase a micro SD card for use with this unit.
Note: After formatting the SD card, all of your data will be lost. Be sure that
you have backed up the important files.
2. Connect the Power Adapter.
Plug the DOD power adapter into your vehicle’s power outlet.
Insert the USB plug into the USB port.
3. Turn on Your Vehicle.
Power from your vehicle through the outlet will automatically turn on your camera and when power
is turned off your camera will shut off automatically. The camera automatically begins recording
every time it is turned on and stops recording when it is turned off.
