Page 7: Can I "Hardwire" The Power Cable To My Car/Truck Internal Wiring
USER MANUAL NAVCAM‐PRO The Crashcam‐Pro has a Mini USB DC5V input. Please use the original car charger which will step down the car (or truck) 12/24VDC to 5VDC. Hints and tips: The Crashcam‐Pro works best when mounted centrally and high up on the windscreen (typically behind or close to the rear vision mirror). Avoid fastening the adhesive pads to the upper tinted section of the windscreen. CAN I “HARDWIRE” THE POWER CABLE TO MY CAR/TRUCK INTERNAL WIRING? Yes, the 12/24v Cigarette socket plug can be cut off exposing a black (negative) and red (positive) wire. The black wire should be connected to the vehicle’s ground / negative and the red wire connected to the vehicle’s “ignition on” (so that when you turn off the ignition, the camera turns off as well). Note: if you are not confident in doing this yourself, it is recommended that you seek the assistance of an automotive electrician. Note: Do not remove the inline transformer which is 15cm from the USB socket end of the cable. ATTACHING THE ADHESIVE PADS TO THE BACKING PLATE Connect the camera to the backing plate and find ... -

Memory card required for operation The Crashcam-Pro requires an SD card (not included) to record video content. (see page 12 for a table showing SD card capacity and the relevant amount of video content able to be stored). For optimal performance, we recommend using at least a class 6 (UHS-1 if possible) SD card with a minimum capacity of 8GB. -
Page 9: Power On/Off (Auto On/Off)
To turn the Crashcam‐Pro ON, switch the power button on the side of the device to ON. This will also lock the SD card into place. To turn off, slide the switch to OFF. When connected to the 12/24v DC socket (cigarette socket) of your car, the Crashcam‐Pro will turn ON or OFF automatically when the car’s ignition is turned ON or OFF. If the Crashcam‐Pro does not turn off immediately it means the device is completing the file save process before turning off (usually only a few seconds). If the 12/24v socket is “constant on” (in some European vehicles), then the Crashcam‐Pro will need to be turned ON/OFF manually using the power switch. To turn the LCD display OFF (but leave the unit recording) toggle the screen views using the OK button. (Ideal for night time driving) AUTO RECORD WHEN TURNED ON When the Crashcam‐Pro is turned on (either by pressing the power button or via the auto on feature) the device will automatically begin recording. To stop recording, press the Settings button or turn the power switch OFF. OPERATING THE CRASHCAM-PRO FOR THE FIRST TIME Connect the car charger to the car’s12/24v Cigarette lighter socket and the other end to the Mini USB port on the Crashcam Pro Insert an SD card into the SD slot and switch the power to ON. When the ignition is turned on, the Crashcam Pro will turn on. Note: When the internal vehicle temperature is higher or lower than the recommended operating temperature, the unit may enter a protection mode and will not function until the temperature range is within operating limits.

Page 11: Recording Files
USER MANUAL NAVCAM‐PRO RECORDING FILES Turn on the Crashcam‐Pro. Recording should start automatically, if not press the REC button. When recording has started, an image of a disc will appear on the screen together with a record timer. The recorded files are saved onto the SD Card. Recording can be stopped, by either pressing the Settings button or by turning the car ignition off (stopping power to the device) The Crashcam‐Pro supports cycle recording. It will overwrite the oldest video files with new ones. Depending on the size of the SD card and the speed rating of the card, there may be as much as a 3 second pause whilst old files are selected and overwriting begins with newer files. This pause time will not be recorded. AUTO BUMP FILE RECORD - SAVING RECORDING VIDEO FILES ‐ Due to the “cycle recording” nature of this technology, older recorded files will be overwritten (depending on the chosen resolution settings and the memory capacity of the SD card). ‐ Alternately the G sensor will trigger an auto save lock if it senses a bump (sensitivity is selectable via the Menu), so that the file being recorded is not overwritten in the cycle record process. Note; You can save a maximum of 10 locked files (which are indicated in the display as xx/10) OTHER SHORTCUTS FROM THE MAIN SCREEN Voice recording: Push and hold the OK button to toggle the microphone ON or OFF. A mute icon (a crossed out microphone) will appear or disappear accordingly. Self input speed camera data: Once a GPS signal is fixed press and hold the REC button to save self‐inputted speed camera or speed trap locations.
