How to Play Using a Computer

Installation

Please make sure to connect all cameras and wires before powering on the camera screen, otherwise the camera will not work properly. Please follow the instructions below for the first-time installation of the Redtiger dash cam.
Scan the QR code on the right to view the installation tutorial video.

Insert Memory Card

Insert the memory card into the dash cam, ensuring that it is oriented correctly so that the gold contacts are facing towards the screen of the dash cam. Push the memory card until it clicks into the slot (F7NS does not include memory card).

Mount The Front Camera

1. Please do a bench test before officially installing the dash cam to make sure all products are working properly.
2. Find the right spot on the front windshield. Wipe the preinstalled location with a clean cloth.
3. Use the suction cup to fix the F7NS dash cam on the windshield, adjust its angle to record a video with a better viewing angle.
   
   *Adjust the GPS module counterclockwise to fix the bracket.

Wire Layout In The Vehicle

1. The car charger is connected to the cigar socket.
2. Connect the other end of the car charger to the dash cam.
3. Use the crowbar to run the power cable along the front windshield and the roof, and hide the cable down the A-pillar, so as not to block the driver's sight and cause danger.
   

Troubleshooting

Why is there no GPS signal?

1. Disconnect and clean the cable and port of any dust that may have accumulated around the dash cam. Check for any interference in your car, like metal film on the windshield, a radio antenna, or radar detector.
2. Move your car to an open area. Observe if the GPS icon on the screen turns green and displays GPS information.
3. Once the GPS locks on to a signal, a satellite icon will appear at the bottom left of the screen. Green indicates positioning, while white indicates no positioning.

How to turn off the on/off music of dash cam?
Please go to Settings > Click Tone > Off.
When the click tone is turned off, the power on and off music will also be turned off.

Why does my dash cam prompt "Card Error" or "Please Format Memory Card" occasionally?
Please follow the steps below to check:

1. Please go to Settings > Format Reminder to check whether the regular format reminder is enabled.
2. Format the Memory Card.
3. Restore factory settings and restart the dash cam.
4. Update the firmware.

Device restarts repeatedly/no boot?

1. Ensure you're using the included charger/cables.
2. Remove the memory card, camera cable, and car charger and reinstall them. Check if an issue was caused by the accessories.
3. Reset the device using the button at the bottom of the camera.
4. If the issue persists, connect the dash cam to a computer using a USB cable. If the device powers on, the issue may be caused by the car charger cable. If it does not power on while connected, there may be an issue with the dash cam itself.
5. Please go to the official website to update the firmware.
6. If it is not resolved, please contact our dedicated customer service for a replacement.

Why "Mass storage" appears on the screen?
"Mass storage" happens when you use a USB cable with data transfer mode causing the dash cam to enter transfer mode. In this mode, data can only be transferred; no other functions work. For best results, use the original car charger or a USB cable without data transfer mode.

Why can't I connect to Wi-Fi?

1. Check the working distance of Wi-Fi, about 15ft.
2. Check the SSID and password of the Wi-Fi, or whether there are other devices connected to the Wi-Fi.
3. Turn off mobile data, security software, and VPN on your phone.
4. If the issue persists, please contact customer support for assistance.

Why is the time setting incorrect?
The dash cam features built-in GPS. It automatically adjusts time based on your location and time zone, eliminating the need for manual time changes. And you can adjust the time through Settings > Time Zone/DST.
