USER MANUAL DK-V3 Dash Cam Car Camera
DSE srl - Digital Surveillance Equipment - www.dse.eu
RESOLUTION - Set the recording resolution 1296P, 720P,
480P. Normally the maximum resolution is maintained
1296P corresponding to approximately FullHD, but you
can lower the resolution if you want to increase the video
archive capacity. Default: 1296P
DUAL - If enabled, the dashcam records all 3 cameras:
front, internal and rear. If disabled, the dashcam records
only the front camera. Default: ON.
CYCLE - 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 individual video files (1,3,5 minutes). Default: 1 m.
INTERVAL - This is a function that allows you to increase
the video archive capacity by introducing a delay between
frames of up to 300 ms. For better video quality it is
advisable to keep this option OFF. Default: OFF
HDR - High Dynamic Range. It is a function that improves
the viewing of scenes with different levels of brightness
and light-dark, which can be useful in some types of
shooting. Default: OFF
EXPOSURE - Allows you to correct the brightness of the
image with steps -3, -2, -1,0, + 1, + 2, + 3. Default: 0
MOTION - If you enable this function the dashcam will
record only in the presence of movements in the image.
The running man icon signals that the function has been
activated. 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.
Video files recorded in this mode are 20 seconds long and
are not automatically overwritten protected.
Motion detection is performed only by the front camera
but activates the recording of all cameras. Default: OFF
WATERMARK - If you enable this function, the date and
time are imprinted on the movies. Default: ON
GRAVITY - Here you enable the collision sensor (G-
SENSOR) which detects impacts to the vehicle. This
sensor is used to detect when the vehicle has been hit and
automatically protect video files from overwriting. You can
set the sensitivity Low, Medium and High. Default: OFF
SOUND - Here the recording of the vehicle's internal audio
is enabled. Default: ON
GUARD (PARKING) - This is a convenient function to guard
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 30 seconds and 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.
The video surveillance camera icon tells you that the
function is active during live viewing
LICENSE - Function not supported
Playback of movies
From the HOME Menu, press the FILES button to access
playback of recorded video.
The videos are divided into folders: 1 tel. front, 2 tel.
internal, 3 tel. rear.
You can play movies, delete them with the trash button
and protect them from overwriting with the lock button. At
the top right there are three buttons to view videos,
photos or only protected files.
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 3 connection modes
directly on the dashcam screen:
MEMORY MODE - 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.
CAMERA MODE - Use this mode to use the dashcam as a
webcam for your computer.
RECORDER MODE - Use this mode to use the dashcam
normally and use the PC only as a power source.
PHOTO mode
The camera has a photo mode with which you can take
high quality photos. You can access photo mode with the
B button in live view or from the HOME menu
In the PHOTO mode there is a button to take and a button
to select the camera to use. There is also a settings
button
