5 FAQs

Where should I place the Camcorder?
• We recommend that you mount the Car Camcorder as close to the center of the
windshield as possible. This should neither distract the driver nor block the drivers
view (see 2.4).
Why does the Camcorder stop recording after some time?
• If motion detection is enabled, the camcorder will automatically stop recording when
no movements is detected for more than 10 seconds (see 3.6).
• Your micro SD card may be full and need to be formatted before using again. 1080P
HD videos are big in size and G-sensor locked videos cannot be erased automatically.
We recommend formatting your memory card every 14 days.
Why do you recommend Class 4 micro SD card or above?
• 1080P HD video has a bigger data flow and hence requires a micro SD card with faster
writing speed. If memory cards below Class 4 are used, they may cause the Camcorder
to freeze or other related video recording/erasing issues.
How do I turn off the screen/audio during recording?
• To turn off the screen, short press the Power button (4) once during recording. To turn
off Audio Record, short press the 'MODE' button (6) during recording. (Pleae note: this
does not interrupt the recording).
How long will my battery last after a full charge?
• The camcorder battery usually takes 2-3 hours to fully charge. This can happen
simultaneously whilst the Camcorder is plugged into your car and recording. The
battery can last 15-60 mins on a full charge depending on the model and
environmental temperature.
How do I record videos?
• All camcorders are programmed to automatically record when there is power
connected and a memory card inserted. When the engine is turned off, or power is
disconnected, the camcorder will stop recording approximately after 3-10 secs.
Manually start/stop recording by pressing the 'REC' button (5).
