U s e r M a n u a l
This Dashboard Camera (dash cam) is a specialized onboard device that continuously records video while the vehicle is in use.
Some features may not be available depending on installation, driving conditions, and vehicle type. The video quality might vary
for each device as a result of installed firmware.
The device DOES NOT guarantee video recording of all accidents as built-in impact sensor may not be activated due to combination
of user settings and the level of impact during the collision.
