Insert the microSD card
The first thing to do, if you want to make recordings, is to
insert the micro SD card into the appropriate slot in the
DVR (5)
It is possible to use micro SD cards with capacities up to
64GB in CLASS 10 or higher. The SD card is not included
in the package.
As an indication, consider that one hour of continuous
recording takes up about 6.5GB, so a 64GB SD card can
hold about 10 hours of recording.
The camera is normally able to start recording
immediately without having to format the MicroSD card. It
may happen, using a 64GB SD card that the camera
continues to report an absent microSD card, despite
having been inserted. In this case, the micro SDcard must
be previously formatted in FAT32 using a computer,
before inserting it into the camera.
Installation of the dashcam with cigarette
lighter power supply
The dashcam is supplied with a cigarette lighter power
cable that takes the 12VDC from the lighter and supplies
5VDC to the camera, with MiniUSB connector.
It is the fastest way to install the dashcam.
The camera should be positioned near the rear view
mirror, in order to have a good front view. The best
position is towards the passenger side, as shown, so as
not to obstruct the driver's view.
Most vehicles only supply power to the cigarette lighter
with the ignition on. In this case, the camera will turn on
and off automatically together with the vehicle panel.
Some vehicles supply power to the lighter constantly,
even when the vehicle is stationary. In this case you will
have to turn the dashcam on and off manually with the
front ON / OFF button.
The supplied lighter cable can easily be hidden along the
edge of the rear window, passing under the gaskets.
Installation of the dashcam with power supply
from the fuse control unit
If you want to install the dashcam so as not to have
visible cables inside the vehicle, you can separately
purchase our installation kit, in the MiniUSB version,
suitable for this dashcam.
The kit includes the cables and connectors to connect to
the vehicle's fuse box. It also includes a 12V / 5VDC
transformer with battery saver that is able to disconnect
the dashcam when the vehicle's battery starts to run out,
a very useful function if you use the dashcam with the
vehicle stationary.
NOTE: This model only requires the connection of the +
BAT and GND cable as the ACC cable is not supported.
For the installation of the dashcam kit you can consult the
specific installation kit manual.

Turn on the camera
The camera turns on automatically when it receives power
through the USB port and turns off in seconds if it fails. If
you only supply power to the camera when the vehicle is
running, it will turn on and off together with the vehicle.
If you supply power to the camera continuously, you will
instead have to turn the camera on and off manually by
holding down the front power button (7) for a few
seconds.
The camera has an internal battery which is used to allow
the camera to stop safely when the power fails and also to
operate in parking mode. The battery does not have
sufficient capacity to allow normal use without power.
Turn off the dashcam and monitor
To turn off the camera completely, press and hold the ON
/ OFF button (7) for a few seconds.
ATTENTION. If the GUARD / PARKING function is active,
the camera restarts automatically when a shock is
detected.
To turn off the screen only and keep the camera running,
briefly press the ON / OFF button (7)
Start recording
If you have inserted an SD card into the dashcam,
recording starts automatically on startup.
During recording, the passage of time is indicated with red
numbers.

LOOP RECORDING - Enables continuous recording so the
camera, once the memory has run out, continues to
record overwriting the oldest files. You can define the
duration of the single video files (1,2,3 minutes). Default:
2 m.
MOTION DETECTION - If you enable this function you can
leave the dashcam on and not recording. It will only
record if there is movement in the image. This function is
very useful if you keep the recording active while parking
in areas with little traffic, to record only in case someone
approaches the vehicle. To disable this function you need
to cover the lens so that recording does not start and
access to the menu is allowed.
WHITE BALANCE - Sets the white balance according to the
type of ambient lighting.

image with steps -3, -2, -1,0, + 1, + 2, + 3. Default: 0

60Hz. Default: 50Hz (Europe)
AUTO RECORD - Set automatic recording at startup
SCREEN SAVER - Activates automatic screen shutdown
after 3,5,10 minutes of inactivity. Note that this feature
only turns off the screen while the dashcam continues to
run. It is very important to enable this function if you
keep the camera running while parking to reduce
consumption. Default: OFF
AUDIO - Enable audio recording
PARKING WAKE - This is a convenient feature to monitor
your car while parking. If you activate this function, the
camera does not turn off completely when you switch off
the power or press the off button, but remains in
PARKING mode with shock detection, consuming very
little battery. If the vehicle is hit, the camera turns on,
starting recording for 20 seconds, then returning to
standby. Video files recorded in this mode are
automatically protected from overwriting.

The shock detection works on battery so you can use it in
parking even if your car does not supply current from the
cigarette lighter socket with the ignition off. You can
adjust 3 degrees of sensitivity.

SENSOR) which detects impacts to the vehicle. This
sensor is used to detect when the vehicle has been hit and

Playback of movies
Stop recording, then press M 2 times to enter playback
mode.
You can browse the recorded files with the arrows and
play them with the OK button. During playback you can
adjust the volume with the arrows.
The protection of movies
When the memory is full, the camera continues to record
overwriting the oldest files. Since the memory can hold a
few hours of recording it is essential to protect important
files from being overwritten so that they are not deleted.
To protect a file you can simply play it and press the key
with the lock. Protected video is identified by the closed
padlock icon. In the above window, for example, only the
third file is overwrite protected.
As we have already seen, in the live view there is also a
lock button C with which you can protect the current file,
for example when an accident or a significant episode
occurs.
The collision sensor (G-Sensor / Gravity) also
automatically activates file protection in the event of an
accident. Videos recorded in GUARD / PARKING mode are
also automatically overwrite protected.
Computer connection via USB
You can connect your dashcam to computer with a USB
cable (not included). You can choose 2 connection modes
directly on the dashcam screen:
MASS STORAGE - Use this mode to explore memory with
explorer and copy files to PC. It is a great way to save
video files to a computer without having to take out the
memory card.
PC CAMERA - Use this mode to use the dashcam as a
webcam for your computer.
