Installation
1. After unboxing the unit, you will first want to set the date and time.
Turn the unit on using the power button on the side of the unit. Once
powered on, press the silver button to the left of the screen labeled
MENU. There are 4 sub-menus designated by icons at the bottom of
the settings screen. Toggle the sub-menu by pressing the button on
bottom right labeled SOS until the “wrench” icon is highlighted in
yellow. Use the DOWN button on the left to select Clock Settings and
press the OK button. To change the numbers push the UP and DOWN
buttons and press OK to move to the next section. NOTE: The camera
uses a 24 hour clock format. When finished, highlight OK at the bottom
of the screen and press the OK button again to save your changes.
2.Attach the suction cup mount to the camera by inserting the square
connector at the end of the mount into the square hole on the top of
the camera and then slide it over. It’s a tight fit to keep the camera
securely in place so it may require a firm push to slide it into place.
3.Mount the camera to your windshield by placing the suction cup
on the window and then pressing the engage lever down. The
recommended placement is in the center below your rear view mirror.
Be sure the windshield is clean and dry and attach it in a place where
it does not obstruct your view of the road. You can release the suction
cup to remove it by lifting the engage lever and then pulling the clear
tab.
4.Next, connect the power cable to the camera by plugging the small
micro USB end into the camera on the top left hand side. The other
end goes into your car’s DC power port. Please note it is a tight fit, so
press firmly to fully seat the plug. The camera should remain plugged
in while in use. It is not designed to run on battery power alone. The
camera comes with a long cable so you can install it under the cars
headliner. It’s recommended that you run it to the right along the pas-
senger’s side of the vehicle so the cord does not obstruct the view or
mobility of the driver.
5.The camera is ready to go. Once powered on, you can use the OK
button to start and stop the recording. When recording, you will see a
flashing red dot and the word REC at the top of the screen. When in
standby, you will see STBY in green.

Features

the settings screen. The sub-menus are Movie Mode, Still Capture, Format
Card, and General Settings. Toggle the sub-menu by pressing the button
on bottom right labeled SOS. A detailed description of each menu and its
options is included below.
Movie Mode Menu
These are the video settings for the dash cam.

1280 x 720 30fps (720p HD).
Movie Quality: Select the pixel quality of your movie playback, options are

Movie Clip Time: This is the length of the video clip the camera records.
It records for up to 3 hours at a time but for playback purposes, it’s broken
down into smaller chunks of time. This can be set to OFF (the “clip” will be
the full length of recording time), 1, 2 or 5 minutes. The manufacturer
recommends setting this to 5 minutes or less. The camera features loop
recording, so when the card is full it will start recording over the oldest clips.
Motion Event Record: This is the amount of time the camera will record for
when Motion Detection is triggered. If set to 10 seconds, the camera will
record for that amount of time as long as no further motion is detected.
Sound Record: The dash cam records sounds. If turned OFF, no sound will
be recorded.

and give off an audible alarm when the vehicle veers over the lines. This is
calibrated under the general settings menu. Note that this feature only kicks
on when traveling above 40MPH.
FCWS: Front Collision Warning System, this will detect distance between the
front of your car and the car in front of you and give an audible alarm when
the distance is too short. Note that this feature only kicks on when traveling
above 40MPH.
Still Capture Menu
The dash cam has the ability to capture still images instead of video. When in
standby, press mode to change to still image capture. Press the OK button to
take a picture.

Clock Settings: This is where you set the date and time. To change the

highlight OK at the bottom of the screen and press the OK button again to
save your changes.
Date Format: This is the way the date appears on your screen and in the video.
The options are None, YYYY MM DD, MM DD YYYY or DD MM YYYY.

number and Year is always 4. (Example MM DD YYYY is 10 26 2018).
Stamp: Sets how the Date and Komando Logo appear on the video, options
are Date+Logo, Date (date only), Logo (logo only) or Off (neither shown).
Language: You can change the language displayed on your screen and in the
videos. There are 17 different language options.
Flicker: This is the power frequency. For North America, this should always be
set to 60Hz. Other countries such as the UK, Asia and Russia use 50Hz. LCD
Power Save: By default, the camera is set to turn the LCD screen off after 1
minute. This is because many states have Distracted Driving Laws regarding
screens. The camera will continue to record even when the LCD screen is off.
If desired, you can set this to OFF to leave the screen on at all times, or set it
to turn off after 1 or 3 Minutes.
G-Sensor: This is the level of sensitivity of the G sensor, which detects an
impact and will lock the current recording. It is set to “Level 2” by default,
which is the recommended level. Options are: Off and Levels 1 –4. When set
to 1, more force is required to trigger the sensor. When set to 4, the sensor
may be triggered too easily.
Parking Monitor: This turns the parking monitor on or off. This feature detects
impact when your vehicle is parked and turns the camera on to record the
incident. Should only be enabled when the car is parked, as it will interfere
with normal operation when driving.
Motion Detection: This turns the motion detection on or off. This feature
detects visual motion and turns the camera on to record the incident. Should
only be enabled when the car is parked, as it will interfere with normal
operation when driving.
Reset Setup: This will reset your camera’s settings back to the factory default.
LDWS Calibration: Once the camera is installed on the windshield, the red line
should be adjusted to the horizon by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons to
the left of the screen. Once the red line is set, press OK to adjust the green
line using the UP and DOWN buttons. The green line should be adjusted to
the front edge of the vehicle in the field of view. Once the green line is set,
press OK again. There is one more setting with a range of numbers on the
