About WheelWitness HD Pro Dashboard Camera
The camera is designed to automatically turn ON when it receives power to the DC IN port. It also
automatically shuts down and records for a few extra seconds using the internal battery when the
power is shut off (to avoid any sudden power cuts and possibly corrupting data). Under default settings
the camera always cycles or “loops” the SD card so you will always be recording and never run out of
space.
Setting Up for First Time Use
2. Remove the protection tape from the Fixed Plate
and install the Plate on the Windshield Glass.
(We recommend to clean the installation area
with rubbing alcohol).
1. Install microSD Card into the card slot. (If
you have trouble use a penny to push it in.)
3. Slide the camera to the fixed plate and adjust the vertical and horizontal positions.
Certain camera functions such as Motion Sensor and G-sensor should remain
OFF under normal operating conditions. They are intended to be used ONLY
when the vehicle is stationary and would interfere with normal camera
operation while driving. Please only change the settings as required!
If you have any questions, please contact us!

Menu Operation
Resolution
WDR
Wide Dynamic Range optimizes the video quality and exposure at nighttime. This works by combining
several different exposures into one to produce one good image.
(This mode does not work when resolution is set to “HDR 1920x1080P”mode. In this mode the camera
uses a specifically designed HDR algorithm.)
[WDR] [ON] / [OFF]
Date Stamp
You can select to have the Date & Time “stamped” into the video.
[Date stamp] [ON] / [OFF]
Record Time / Recording Loop Function
Using the Record Time function you can have the camera split the video files into either 2, 5 or 10
minute files. The recording is continuous, but the files are split into smaller chunks so they are easier to
work with.
Press “MENU” button to activate the Menu. Use
“UP” and “DOWN”button to highlight the desired
line and then press “OK” button to enter sub-
menu. Confirm the selection by using the UP and
DOWN button to select the item and press “OK”
to confirm setting.
Video resolution can be selected up to 2304 x
1296P. Higher resolution produces a higher quality
image. The higher the resolution, the higher the file
size.
A standard 32GB microSD card will hold
approximately 8 hours at the highest resolution
mode available.
[Video Resolution]
[2304 x 1296 30P] / [HDR 1920 x 1080 30P] /
[1920 x 1080 30P] / [1280 x 720 60P] /
[1280 x 620 30P]

Setting this function to OFF turns off the splitting function as well as the LOOP function. This way the
card records until FULL, and then STOPS recording, displaying the message “Card Full”.
For normal operating conditions, we suggest you use 2, 5 or 10min.
[Record Time] [2min] / [5min] / [10 min] / [Off]
Event
In case of emergency or for some other reason when you want to save the recorded moment, simply
press the “MENU” button (#1) while camera is recording. The camera displays the “!” symbol on the LCD
Display and the current and previous file (2 min, 5 Min or 10 minutes –depending on your setting) will
be locked and saved as a “READ ONLY” file. This will prevent the camera from overwriting it the next
time it is under cyclic recording. You can browse the SD Card on your computer or connect the camera
via USB to view the file.
WARNING: FORMATTING THE SD CARD WILL ERASE ALL THE INFORMATION INCLUDING FILES SAVED
IN THE EVENT FOLDER.
Motion Sensor (Set to OFF under normal operation)
G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor) (Set to OFF under normal operation)
Same as the motion detector, the G-Sensor is used when the vehicle is stationary or under special
application. When there is a collision or a sudden change in XYZ axis, the G-Sensor or Gravity Sensor
determines the direction of the collision and records the event. It creates a separate EVENT folder and
stores the files there. These files are saved and are not overwritten when the camera files loop.
Adjust the sensitivity parameter of the sensor so that the camera does not automatically lock all the
recorded videos.
MENU Button [G-Sensor] [High] / [Mid] / [Low] / [Off]
TV Out
This setting can be adjusted when you use the AV cable or HDMI cable to connect the camera to your TV
(AV and HDMI cables are not included.) (You can use the playback feature to display it on your TV).
The motion detector function is used when the
vehicle is stationary or under special application
options. If you have the camera hardwired, you can
set the motion detector to ON, and when a motion
is visible in the field of view, the camera records the
set time. It creates a separate EVENT folder and
stores the files there. These files are saved and are
not overwritten when the camera files loop.
This function should be turned OFF under normal
operation (when driving)!
