
Unlikeotherin‐carrecordingsystems,your S SM MA AR RT TE ER RDriveRecorderisusedtorecordbothvideoandaudio
datainacontinuousloopfashion.Ifthevehicleisinvolvedinanaccidentsuchasacollision,impact,andsudden
acceleration‐relatedincident,thisdataismarkedandstored.Onemaythereafteranalyzethedatatofinditsroot
causebyplayingbackthescenesofinterestandwhereacceleration,vehiclespeed,direction,andlocationare
availableforreview.AddedtotherecordingarevehiclespeedanddirectionandGPSlocation.Interiorvideo
helpsacompanyenforceexistingcellphonerestrictionsandpolicies.Exteriorvideoprovidesprotectionwhere
thedriverisnotatfault.

Continuousrecording
Thevideoandaudiodatafromthefrontandinteriorviewsiscontinuouslyrecordedwhilepoweron.Whenthe

Note: Use a thin object to remove SD card. Some customers drill small hole in the surface of the enclosure
next to slot and insert a wire tie. When removing the SD card, you must then cut the wire tie making
removal by the operator harder.

TipsbeforeUsingtheProduct

UnitPreparationforvideorecording

1.TaketheSDcardoutofyourS
SM MA AR RT TE ER Rdriverecorder.AccessthePlayer.exemenuandenterthesetupmode,settingtimezone,daylight
savingstimeandothersettings(asnotedintheprogrammingsectionofthemanual).Re‐inserttheSDcardintherecorder.Followingtheinstallation
instructions‐‐‐whenyouconnecttheunittopower,orturntheengineon,“dRInit”appearsontheLEDdisplayontheunit,indicatingthatthevideo
recorderisinitializing.TheLEDdisplaywindowwillshowaseriesofnumbers,thisindicatesthatGPSsatellitesarebeginningacquired.

2.Inabout25secondsafterpoweron,longerifonehasnotsetthelocaltimezoneontheSDcard,theunitcompletesinitializinganda“dingdong”
chimeisheardalongwiththewords“Hello”.Theunitmaystillshowaseriesofnumbersfollowedbyand“GPSFINE”willappears.Thisadjuststheunit
furtherforincreasedaccuracy.

3.Afterthechime,theDriveRecorderstartscontinuousrecordingwithoutGPSdata.Theunitisrecordingvideoandaudioaswellasvehiclespeed,
directionandlocation,when:a)whenthevehicleisstopped,theunitshowslocaltime;b)whenthevehicleisinmotion,itdisplaysthevehicle’sspeed.

Continuousrecordingwhiledriving

1.Your
S SM MA AR RT TE ER Rdriverecorderinformsyouofyourvehicle’sspeed,whenstopped,theunitdisplaysthetimeontheLCDfacingthedriver.

2.WhenthecapacityoftheSDcardhasbeenreached,theoldestfilesareoverwrittenforcontinuousrecording.Thedatarecordedbyeithertheunit’s
internalG‐Sensororexternalmanualrecordbuttonarenotoverwritten.(ThisalarmdatamustbeerasedbytheUserwiththeSDcardinsertedinthe
computer,erasingeventdataintheDATAfolder.)

3.Whenyoustoptheengineorremovethepowercablefromthecigarettelighterplug,S
SM MA AR RT TE ER Rstopsrecording.
1.Connectthe“Y”power
cabletothepower
connectionportonthe
rightsideoftheunit
2.Connecttheothersideof
“Y”powercabletothe
powerconnectionportofthe
attachedIRlightmoduleof
theunit
4.Insertthepowercordintothe
CigaretteLighterPlug.

Note:Cigarettelighterplugcan
onlybehardwiredto12‐24vehicle
powerwhenusingtheJACK‐EXT
option.UsingtheAWP‐22OO
optionalsoallowsdirecthardwiring
tovehiclepower
3.Arrangethepowercord
neatlyafterinsertingitin
thechinkofthedoornear
thedriverorpassenger
seat.
NOTE: Do NOT try to circumvent the “cigarette ligher plug” unless
you use the optional AWP-2200. This has a circuit that protects the
camera and provides power to the IR illuminator. If the “cigarette
lighter plug” is circumvented and wired direct to vehicle power---it will
