The app will check if you are running the most current version. If an update is available, simply follow the onscreen instructions to complete the app upgrade process.
The E2 dash cam offers three functional menus: Record Settings, System Settings, and File Browsing. Customize your dash cam with these settings to suit your needs. To access the menu settings, press the Camera ( ) Button to pause the recording, then press the Menu (
) Button.
Note: File names ending in 'A' are associated with the front camera, whereas 'B' denotes the rear camera recordings.
When you insert a memory card and power up the E2 dash cam, it automatically starts loop recording. The length of each video clip is determined by your chosen loop recording setting, and clips are saved in the normal video folder. As the folder fills up to 70% of its capacity, the camera will begin overwriting the oldest files first, ensuring continuous recording without manual intervention.
The camera's event recording is activated by the G-sensor (Gravity Sensor). This function can operate automatically or can be manually engaged. In certain driving conditions, the camera will automatically secure footage for event recording, or you can choose to lock it for event documentation yourself.
To manually secure the current video, simply press the power ( ) button. If you wish to take photos during this time, the power (
) button can be pressed multiple times. Subsequently, videos are saved in the event video folder, while photos go to the photo folder. Event videos are also automatically secured when an impact or significant vibration is detected by the dash cam, and these too are stored in the event video folder.
Note that during an event recording, you can take still images by pressing the power ( ) button. Once the recording concludes, the video is saved in the emergency video folder, and any photos taken are stored in the photo folder.
Additional Information
To switch the view between the front and rear camera you can simply press the up ( ) button. There are four modes:
To improve the safety of nighttime parking, we leverage the camera's advanced lens capabilities along with cutting-edge low-light night vision technology. This enhances visibility in parking mode. The feature is active by default but activates only when you switch to parking mode, ensuring that it does not interfere with regular recording.
(Inapplicable During Time-lapse Recording)
Parking Mode functions as a surveillance mechanism, offering various monitoring modes to suit different parking scenarios. Upon enabling Parking Mode, recording can be initiated in two ways: either wait for 5 minutes for automatic activation or long-press the down () button to start immediately.
Important Considerations:
Collision Detection
When you activate collision detection on the dash cam, a collision icon ( ) appears on the display, signaling that the camera is in collision detection mode. You have the option to set the sensitivity of this function from 1 to 5 based on your preference and the vehicle's environment.
Once collision detection is activated, if the camera does not detect any movement for 5 minutes—part of the camera's quick-start feature—it will engage collision detection mode. A collision icon ( ) will pop up in the center of the screen, and if no further activity is detected, the camera will power down to conserve energy. If the camera is jostled or detects a shock, it will turn back on and record for a minute.
Note: If the camera experiences repeated impacts while in collision detection mode, it will revert to normal recording mode and reset the 5-minute countdown. This feature helps to ensure that the camera does not stay in collision detection mode indefinitely in busy environments.
Motion Detection
Activating motion detection on the dash cam triggers the display of a motion icon ( ) on the screen, indicating that the camera is monitoring for any movement. This mode offers three sensitivity settings: low, medium, and high, which correspond to detection distances of 2 meters, 4 meters, and 6 meters, respectively.
Upon activating motion detection mode, the motion detection icon will appear in the center of the screen. The dash cam will switch to standby mode if no motion is detected within three minutes. During the video recording process, the camera automatically starts recording if it detects movement or vibration. The E2 model features a prerecording capability that ensures footage is captured just before motion detection starts. Once recording triggered by motion detection ends, the camera will save the prerecorded footage to the regular video folder.
Note: The motion detection feature is operational only when the camera is powered on. Turning off the camera will deactivate the motion detection mode.
Low Bitrate Recording
When activated, the low bitrate recording mode is indicated by a 1080P 15 FPS icon ( ) on the lower right of the screen for 1080P selections, or a 720P 15 FPS icon (
) for 720P selections.
If the system doesn't detect any movement for five minutes, an icon ( ) will appear in the center of the screen. In this mode, the video resolution defaults to either 1080P 15 FPS or 720P 15 FPS for recording, and the length of the recording will correspond to the previously set loop recording duration. Should the camera detect any vibration or movement, it will exit this standby mode. It will then wait for another five minutes without movement before re-entering the low bitrate recording mode.
Note: The low bitrate recording feature is only functional when the camera is powered on. Turning off the camera will disable low bitrate recording.
Low Framerate Mode
In low framerate mode, the dash cam records at a reduced framerate, which you can set to 1, 5, 10, or 15 frames per second (FPS), depending on your preference. For instance, if the normal recording rate is 30 FPS and you select 1 FPS, the camera will produce one frame of video per second. This mode is efficient for saving storage space on the memory card while maintaining the video's continuity.
The formula to calculate the duration of normal recording time in low framerate mode is: Normal Recording Time = Low Framerate Recording Time (in seconds) × Recording Framerate (FPS). To work with the result, you may need to convert the time into seconds if it's not already.
Please Note:
Time-lapse recording is a feature that allows the camera to capture footage at a reduced frame rate. You can choose from options such as 1 frame per second (FPS), 5 FPS, 10 FPS, or 15 FPS. For instance, if you select the 1 FPS option and your camera typically records at 30 FPS, it will now record one frame every second. This method is particularly useful for saving memory card space while still maintaining a time-compressed video record of your trip.
To calculate the actual video duration in time-lapse mode, use the following formula:
Normal Recording Time in Seconds = Time Lapse Recording Time (Sec) × [Normal Framerate FPS / Time Lapse Option FPS]. Remember to convert the time into seconds when calculating.
The GPS feature is a crucial aspect of the dash cam, offering default-enabled geolocation services. The camera captures GPS signals through its mount, allowing it to automatically update the time and date according to your region. It also logs the location of the footage and the vehicle's speed at the time of recording.
Note:
The E2 dash cam comes equipped with a GPS-enabled automatic time adjustment feature. By default, this feature is activated and sets the camera's clock based on the GPS location data it receives. You can manually select your time zone—for example, GMT-08:00 for Los Angeles—or connect to the Vantrue Cam app via Wi-Fi to verify and ensure the automatic time setting is correct and active.
Your camera comes with a wireless remote control for quick access to functions like taking snapshots, recording emergency videos, toggling audio, and more.
Connecting the Remote Control
Initiate the connection by removing the insulating strip from the remote control. The camera will then automatically pair with the remote without the need for manual setup.
A confirmation icon ( ) will display on the screen indicating a successful connection.
Installing the Remote Control
Once paired, select a convenient spot in your vehicle for the remote control. Remove the adhesive backing and attach the remote to your chosen location, ensuring it doesn't interfere with safe driving.
Using the Remote Control
Replacing the Remote Control Battery
When the remote's battery is low, it needs to be replaced with a CR2032 battery. Follow these steps:
Note that the remote control does not support recharging; battery replacement (CR2032) is necessary when power is low.
Beyond the remote control, the camera also supports voice commands. It recognizes English, Japanese, Russian, and Chinese. To access a comprehensive list of voice commands, navigate to System Settings > Voice Content. The default voice recognition sensitivity is set to standard, but you can adjust it to low, high, or turn it off according to your needs.
To delete a file while it's being played back, press the Power Button ( ), which will bring up the option to remove the file from storage.
Note:
Your dash cam is equipped with an automatic firmware update feature. When a firmware update file is placed on the Micro-SD card and detected by the system, the update process will commence automatically. After the update is successfully applied, the camera will perform a reboot. To ensure you have access to the latest firmware improvements, you can always visit the official VANTRUE website at www.vantrue.net. Additionally, we recommend registering your product on the VANTRUE website at www.vantrue.net/register, which allows you to receive email notifications whenever a new firmware update becomes available.
