Basic Setup
a) SD Card Installation
Insert the Micro SD card into the slot so that the connectors on the card are facing towards the camera display.
When inserting or removing the SD card, keep your camera turned o󰀨.
We recommend formatting the SD card while in use once a month. This will prevent
the creation of corrupt les and helps to protect the SD card itself against damage.
b) GPS (optional)
The GPS module is located directly in the camera mount.

5
Install the device on the windscreen with the 3M adhesive pad. When not connected to a GPS satellite, the GPS icon
will be shown in red on the LCD display. When connected to a GPS satellite, the GPS icon will be shown
on the LCD display.
c) Charging
Connect the USB charging port of the mount to the input port of the car charger / cigarette lighter, then start the engine.
The camera automatically turns on and starts recording. Note: recording will only start automatically when the socket in
the vehicle is powered by the ignition key.

6
Basic Features
a) Motion detection
1. In video mode, press the Menu button to enter the settings, then select Motion Detection.
2. If the camera registers moving objects within its range, a ashing red dot “ “ will appear on the display and the
device will begin recording. When the device does not detect a moving object, it automatically stops recording after
10 seconds.
Note: We do not recommend using motion detection and loop recording at the same time. The motion detection
function is superior in this respect. We recommend that you have the camera connected to the power
supply for optimal use, otherwise the recording time is limited by the capacity of the battery, which
decreases with each recording made.
b) Loop Settings
Loop recording allows continuous recording regardless of the memory card capacity. You can choose from three time
intervals: 1 min / 3 min / 5 min / 10 min. The selected interval determines the length of recording time which the camera
will save. The advantage of using this setup is that you will never run out of space on your memory card. Moreover, it is
very easy to send very small les via e.g. e-mail for use as evidence.
c) LDWS System
The Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) alerts the driver as soon as the vehicle starts veering out of its lane. This
system is designed to minimize tra󰀩c accidents due to driver inattention caused by distractions or drowsiness. It’s an
additional feature with a live video preview.
d) G-Sensor Function
In case of an accident, the gravity sensor (G-sensor) can gather direction and other important collision data. According
to the value set for the G-sensor sensitivity, the camera will determine whether to lock the recording or not. If protection
mode is not turned on, the current video may be overwritten by loop recording. Be careful when setting the G-sensor to a
high sensitivity as it may cause le locking even when driving on a rough road. This might ll up the memory card quickly.

7
G-sensor directions are shown in the picture bellow:
e) Parking Mode
When the function is activated in the menu, the camera will protect the vehicle during your absence. If the vehicle moves
slightly, the camera begins recording automatically. After 60 seconds, the recording stops and the camera turns o󰀨 if the
movement is not repeated. The device uses a built-in battery for power. To extend the time that the vehicle is monitored,
which is up to 24 hours with a fully-charged battery, connect the device to an external power source, such as a car
lighter. Each time you start recording, the battery charge level decreases.
