WARNING
The Dash Cam must not be fitted in a position which obscures the driver’s view of the road
ahead. Depending on the country of use, recordings made with this device may be subject to
Data Protection Laws. Ensure these are complied with.
If the dash cam is to be used in a commercial environment e.g. taxi or truck, then CCTV
Regulations may apply. Playback of video which is visible to the driver whilst the vehicle is in
motion is prohibited in some countries.
Only use the supplied power adaptor, otherwise damage may occur to the dash cam.
Take care when cleaning the dash cam lens and only use a suitable lens cleaner and a soft
cloth. Do NOT expose this product to rain, moisture or water under any circumstances; doing
so may result in the risk of electric shock or fire.
Do NOT perform servicing other than that contained in the instruction manual, unless you
are qualified to do so. When installing in a vehicle, always place the device securely against
the windscreen and where possible conceal the power cable under the vehicles interior
trim. Make sure that the power cable doesn’t interfere with the driver’s controls such as the
steering wheel, pedals or gear lever.
Do NOT mount the dash cam in front of an airbag deployment area or in a position to obscure
any interior mirrors.
Do NOT operate whilst driving and only adjust settings or review recordings whilst stationary.

DELIVERING THE TRUTH
Record vital evidence in the event of an incident. Protect yourself from insurance fraud, and in
some cases even lower your insurance costs.
Exceptional low light performance means Trade Pro dash cameras can provide vital evidence
even when driving at night.
Hassle free to install and use, they automatically switch on when you start the engine – so you
never miss a thing – and turn off once you park up – meaning no risk of draining your battery.
Loop recording will automatically save over old footage you no longer need: you don’t have to
clear or buy new SD cards. Important files can be locked to save them for later viewing.
The lockable MicroSD slot is designed to prevent tampering and password protected
software prevents alteration of captured footage.
*Once there is no external power input dash cam will no longer be powered

SETTINGS
Resolution
Set the resolution for the dash cam to record footage at. The higher resolution provides
clearer image (recommended) the lower resolution creates smaller recording file sizes.
Loop Recording
The dash cam has the option to save recordings on a loop of 3 or 5 minutes. The dash
cam will overwrite the oldest files saved to the MicroSD card to remove the requirement to
manually clear the memory space.
Date Stamp
The video recording can have the date and time at the point of filming stamped on the bottom
of the recording.
G-Sensor
G Sensor sensitivity can be adjusted. This is what detects forces which will automatically
protect the current recording in a collision.
The default setting for this will be set to medium sensitivity.

During the case of a bump or knock whilst vehicle is parked, the dash cam can turn itself on
for 30 seconds to record the incident if this setting is activated in the settings (default OFF).

To enable this enter the registration of the vehicle in the dash cam settings.

Saved recordings can be locked manually to prevent them being over written by the loop
recording by using the Protect File setting.
