Automatic Booting
Once the AP1 has been wired to your OBDII port or vehicle
power source, the AP1 will boot up automatically. It will take
around 55 seconds for the unit to be ready to operate.
1. VIDEO RECORDING
Continuous Record
This is the default mode for recording. In this setting, the unit will begin recording
after booting up and record the entire time the unit is powered on. The resolution
and frame rates can be set as per your requirements.
Event Record
The unit will record when triggered by impact, an ADAS Forward Collision Warning
Setting, a Speeding Threshold Limit Exceed Event or a push of the “Panic” (Rec) button.
You can set the record time during the calibration setting mode.
Dual Record, Continuous + Event
The continuous record file will be stored on the “Normal” folder and the event record
will be stored on the “Event” folder on the SD card.
Drive Data
The DRV file will be recorded while driving even if there are no events or video.
The DRV file consists of GPS and G-sensor data. The DRV file overwrites the oldest
data. The DRV files will be made every 1 to 10 minutes.
Time and Date
This information will be provided by GPS satellites automatically.
2. WIFI
To connect to the device via Wi-Fi, please press the “multi-function” button and
hold for 5 seconds (long press), wait 3 seconds and then connect directly to the
AP1 via Wi-Fi using your mobile device.
3. VOLUME CONTROL
Please press the volume button to control. The volume level is 1 to 5.
FUNCTIONS

5SMARTWITNESS AP1 USER GUIDE
Caution
ADAS functionality is not a substitute for an alert, trained and engaged driver. ADAS functionality
will be impaired by many things, including but not limited to device malfunction, obstruction of the
device’s image sensor, intense weather conditions that reduce the visibility aorded to the device’s
image sensor, and poor and/or faded road and lane striping/markings.
Forward Proximity Warning
Something is in the forward
proximity, and an imminent collision
with your vehicle is possible
(at low speeds).
Forward Collision Warning
Your vehicle is likely to collide
with something in front of
your vehicle.
Forward Vehicle Start Alert
The vehicle in front of you
begins to move forward while
your vehicle remains stopped.
Lane Departure Warning
Your vehicle crosses a solid lane line
on either side of the road.

FUNCTIONALITY

6SMARTWITNESS AP1 USER GUIDE
WARNING
To reduce the potential danger of injuries, the driver and
front passenger must always be correctly seated with
seat belts correctly fastened when operating the vehicle.
DISCLAIMER
The AP1 is not a substitute for a safe, conscientious
driver. The AP1 cannot compensate for a driver who is
distracted, inattentive or impaired by fatigue, drugs or
alcohol. Whether or not the AP1 is in use, it is always the
responsibility of the driver to take appropriate corrective
action. It does not eliminate or decrease the need for
a driver to stay alert and to obey all trac laws while
operating a vehicle. Never wait for the device to provide
a warning before taking measures to avoid an accident.
Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or
death or severe property damage.
Always, it is the driver’s responsibility to:
• Use safe driving techniques
• Exercise proper judgment
• Maintain a safe speed and distance between vehicles
• Take measures to avoid an accident
• Comply with all applicable laws and regulations
WARNING
In certain conditions, including inclement weather,
low visibility and certain road conditions (including
poor lane markings, construction zones, dirt roads,
heavy or complicated traffic, and curvy and winding
roads), the AP1 may have limited to no functionality.
The AP1 may not detect certain objects such as
motorcyclists, bicyclists or pedestrians even in the
most ideal conditions. Always keep the lens and view
of the AP1 unobstructed and properly calibrated so
as not to inhibit function. Driving in certain conditions
or any interference with the AP1 can result in false,
few or no warnings. The driver must always monitor
traffic and surroundings and take measures to avoid
an accident; failure to do so can result in serious personal
injury or death or severe property damage.
WARNING
If the AP1 is not functioning properly at any time, please
contact your distributor or visit support.smartwitness.com
and have the device inspected immediately to correct
the issue. Whether or not the AP1 is functioning, it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain vehicle control; failure
to do so can result in serious personal injury or death or
severe property damage.
CAUTION
While cleaning the device or the vehicle cab, do not
apply compressed air or cleaning solutions (such as
Windex) to the AP1 device. Usage of these products
may cause damage to the device.
DRIVER SAFETY
WARNINGS

7SMARTWITNESS AP1 USER GUIDE
1. Activate the product in an area
without large buildings to improve
GPS reception.
2. The temperature range for optimum
operation of the GPS receiver in your
vehicle is -10°C ~ 50°C.
3. When using the product for the first
time or after a long period (more than
three days), it may take a little longer
to recognize your current location.
4. This product supports Assisted GPS.
GPS reception may be impaired under the following circumstances:
1. If your vehicle has metallic elements on the windshields.
2. If equipment generating electromagnetic waves that interfere
with the GPS signal is installed in the vehicle, e.g., other GPS
devices, such as certain types of wireless activated alarms and
MP3 and CD players and camera alarms using GPS.
3. On heavily overcast or cloudy days or if the vehicle is in a covered
location, such as under a bridge or raised roadway, in a tunnel,
on an underground roadway, in an underground parking area,
inside a building or surrounded by high-rise buildings.
When satellites don’t have line
of sight, cellular towers help
triangulate a vehicle’s location.
GPS
RECEPTION
If GPS signal reception is poor, it may take longer to locate
your current position when the vehicle is moving than when
it is stationary.
