Menu's There are two menus, you can switch between them by pressing the menu button "M" once 3 or twice, the second press will switch from the first menu to the second menu. First Menu ‐ Video Menu (One press of M button) 1. Resolution: This camera is a Full Hi Definition camera but if you are away from the vehicle for hours and want to use the Motion Detection function, you can lower the resolution to 720P HD. This will give you more hours of recording on the SD card. 2. Loop Recording: We recommend you set this on 5 Minutes, that means that each video is of a 5 minute duration. 3. WDR: Turn WDR on, Wide Dynamic Range describes an attribute of an imaging Sensor that can record greater scene details than normal, from shadows to highlights. 4. Motion Detection: Should only be on when vehicle is parked and when there is a power source. 5. Power On Record: Turn ON, then when power is on, video will automatically record. 6. Power Off Delay: Set this to whatever duration you would like the camera to keep recording after power if turned off. 7. Power On Delay: Leave this off if you want the camera to begin recording immediately power is turned on. 8. Record Audio: Turn off if you wish to have a private conversation in the vehicle. 9. Date Stamp: Turn on so that time and date is stamped on the video. 10. GSensor Set: We recommend you set this at "LOW", they can sometimes be very sensitive where heavy braking can cause the videos to be locked or saved as read only. This will fill up the SD card and stop the Loop Recording function. If you have this problem, turn the GSensor OFF. Second Menu ‐ Setup Menu (Two presses of M button) 1. Date/Time: Set the date and time. 2. Plate Number on Movie: You can set your number plate, it will be stamped on the video. 3. Auto Power Off: Sets the camera to turn off after power is off. 4.

TROUBLE SHOOTING In the event of the camera not working as it should, please try the following: Camera won't record  Turn off GSensor, Copy any files you want to keep to your computer or storage drive, Re format your SD card  Ensure the card has been installed correctly, during the installation process, you should hear a clicking sound.  Change the resolution, frames per second.

Care and Maintenance  Please take your camera out of the vehicle if temperatures exceed 50 degrees C.
