Safety Around and Behind Other Vehicles
Using a App-Controlled 4K Roadcam Pro is not enough to completely
overcome a vehicle’s blind spot. Many preventable injuries and deaths occur
in driveways or parking lots when drivers do not see children, pets, or others
near their vehicles. Here are a few safety tips that will help you to avoid an
accident:
• Walk completely around your vehicle before getting in. Check for kids,
toys, and pets before entering the vehicle and starting the engine.
• Know where children are. Have children stand in a place where they are
in full view.
• Be aware of young children. Young children are small and hard to see.
• Parents, caregivers and all adults need to be vigilant in supervising
• Never allow children to play with the device. Small parts may be a
choking hazard.
• There is a plastic cover over the App-Controlled 4K Roadcam Pro. Do not
scratch the cover when cleaning dirt or snow from it.
• If the temperature changes rapidly, the system may not operate normally.
• When strong light directly enters a camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
• The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
• The colors of objects on the App-Controlled 4K Roadcam Pro may differ
from those of the actual object.
• Do not use alcohol or thinner to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera, wipe with a clean cloth dampened with
mild cleaner diluted with water and then wipe with a dry cloth.
