About HD PRO Mark II Camera
The HD Pro Mark II is designed to automatically turn ON when it
receives power to the DC IN port. It also automatically shuts down
and records for a second 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 memory card so you
will always be recording and never run out of space.
Motion Sensor function should remain OFF under normal
operating conditions. It is 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!
The G sensor function can be used to protect files in the event of an
incident, however if you have too many false- positives, or the
camera freezes, please make sure to turn it off!
If you have any questions, please contact us!

Setting Up for First Time Use
Optimal installation location and wire routing.
Card Requirements
Resolution and bit rate of video files required a good quality
SD card. The camera requires a minimum Class 10 SD Card.
We recommend using a "high endurance micro sd card".
Regular SD cards (such as Sandisk Ultra are NOT supported
and may cause issues).

11
1. Install the memory Card Into the card (If you have trouble use a
penny to push it in.)
Memory
card not included.
2. Remove the protection tape from the Fixed Plate and install the
Plate on the Windshield Glass. (We recommend cleaning the
installation area with rubbing alcohol).

12
3. Slide the camera to the fixed plate and adjust the vertical and
horizontal positions.
4. Connect the power cord to the DC IN. Camera power socket
5. Connect the power cord into the cigarette lighter, Socket in your
car.

Stealth Hardwiring
If you would like a stealth install that you never have to worry about,
we sell a hardwire kit. You can use it to tap into your "Accessory"
wire and the camera turns on and off with the vehicle. You never
have to remember to turn it on. Using a hardwire kit requires some
basic technical skills. Depending on your vehicle, you can route the
wires to the back of your cigarette lighter or fuse panel. If wiring to a
fuse panel, please use a multi---meter or a test light to find a fuse
that is ON when vehicle is in Accessory/Ignition and is off when
vehicle is off.

Event Triggering
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 a KEY symbol on
the LCD Display and it will save the previous 10 seconds before the
press and 20 seconds after. You will find this file in a separate folder
in the SD card. You can also turn the G sensor to ON while driving. If
there is an "event" that it senses, it will automatically save that file
accordingly as well. Please keep in mind, if the camera has too many
false- positive or it starts to freeze, set the G sensor to OFF.
WARNING: FORMATTING THE Memory CARD WILL ERASE ALL THE
INFORMATION INCLUDING " READ ONLY” FILES.
