The Binatone DC200 dashcam powers off automatically 10 seconds after it is disconnected from power. If it does not turn off when the car is switched off, it is likely because the car's cigarette lighter or 12V DC socket continues to supply power even when the ignition is off. In such cases, the dashcam remains powered and does not shut down automatically.

The Binatone DC200 may display "PLEASE INSERT SD CARD" even when the SD card is inserted due to the following reasons:
1. Incorrect Insertion: The SD card may not be inserted in the correct direction or fully seated in the slot. 2. Formatting Issue: If the SD card is new, it may need to be formatted before use. 3. Incompatible SD Card: The device requires a Micro SD card of 4GB or above, CLASS 10 or higher. A lower-class card may not be recognized. 4. Faulty SD Card: The SD card may be damaged or defective, preventing the device from detecting it.
To resolve the issue, ensure the SD card is properly inserted, format it if necessary, and use a compatible CLASS 10 or higher card.
If you are adding a new SD card to the device, we recommend you format it before use. Micro SD card requirement: 4GB or above, CLASS 10 or above. Unpacking your Binatone Dash camera System In the box you will find ·...
