Rexing M2 Manual

Notice

1. The user menu is to be set up in non-video mode. If the device is in video mode, please proceed only after stopping the video recording.
2. Memory Card: Using a new MicroSD card always requires formatting it to your device. Regularly clear the memory card, as continuous video recording for an extended period of time may produce some protected files that are not subject to long-term protection (these files may not be overwritten during loop recording) and some storage fragments, which must be cleared regularly in order to save usable storage space.
3. Time-lapse photography should not be enabled while driving. This function captures images more slowly than normal but plays in speed-up mode, which may affect the integrity and continuity of your video.
4. On-board Charger: The standard input voltage is configured to 12V. If a voltage greater than 12V, contact your dealer or our customer care via care@rexingusa.com to replace it with a replacement charger.
5. The features described in this operation manual are available for all products of the same type. The device you buy may be a model with optional or additional functions. Menu operations may vary. Please refer to your actual product.
6. Pay attention to the mounting position, which must not interfere with driving or lead to unsafe driving operation. Make sure it is safely secured.
7. A standard 6-meter cable is provided for the rearview camera. It is not recommended to install this type of dash cam if your car is beyond the connection cable range.

The battery (module or pack) must not be expose to an overheat environment such as direct sunlight or flame.

Smart Driving Mode

Note:
The Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) feature depends on the traffic conditions and the driving state information obtained from the front camera and the Blind Spot Detection (BSD) depends on the traffic conditions of blind spots and the driving information obtained from the rear camera. When the display shows the front camera image, ADAS enables. When display shows the rear camera image, BSD enables. They cannot be enabled simultaneously.

Outline

ADAS refers to Advanced Driving Assistant System. This model mainly includes FCWS (Forward Collision Warning System), LDWS (Lane Departure Warning System) and a stop & go function. That is, an alert or warning is generated when a potential collision hazard with the car ahead is detected during driving or it is about to deviate from its lane.

BSD refers to Blind Spot Detection, which monitors in real time any vehicle in the blind spots on both sides during driving. It gives an alert so as to reduce the risk of traffic accidents that are likely to occur when you intend to shift to another lane. It is also called LCA (Lane Change Assist).

ADAS and BSD systems may be interfered with by sunlight, inadequate lane lines, rain, and fog, Certain impacts may be affected by these inaccuracies, and some collisions may not be avoidable. Currently, the ADAS provides a rate of accuracy between 80 to 90 percent during the daytime and 60 to 70 percent at night. BSD provides a rate of accuracy around 90 percent during the daytime and around 80 percent at night.

The following instructions are mainly used for the calibration of the smart driving application of the dashcam. It mainly includes the calibration of ADAS and the blind spot monitoring range.

Before using ADAS, it is necessary to calibrate it according to its mounting position and view angle of the dashcam. Only in this way can it detect vehicles and lanes accurately.

Disclaimer:
The system is a safe driving assistant system and it cannot be used as a proof for the liability of traffic accidents.
