Infrared Guide
- IR mode Auto, the camera automatically turns on/off infrared night vision.
- If the ambient light level is lower than the threshold value, the camera turns on infrared night vision.
- If the ambient light level is higher than the threshold value for 10 consecutive seconds, the camera tums off infrared night vision.
- There is a possibility that the infrared night vision is unable to turn on due to driving through a street with very bright street lights. This will result ina dark image being recorded of the car interior. We suggest that you manually set IR MODE to “ON” if every video at night needs to be recorded with infrared night vision.

Trouble Shooting
Camera will not record.
Check if there is enough storage space on the micro SD card. Check the number of protected files (read only attribute). Format the SD card.
Camera records intermittently.
The data stream is a high-definition video and the file sizes are very large. We recommend a high-quality micro MLC SD card.
“File Error” prompt during playback.
Corrupt data storage will result in the file error. Use the “FORMAT CARD” menu to format the micro SD card. Consider changing the SD card if this happens on a regular basis.
Video is blurred.
Remove the lens protection film. Ensure the lens and windscreen are clean. Use a lens Deaner to clean the lens if necessary.
Video has horizontal lines.
This is due to the wrong “Flicker” setting. Adjust to the required frequency SOHz / 60Hz. Camera does not auto-start recording when the ignition is turned on.
Set the Movie Clip Time to 1/3 /5 minutes. Not OFF. The camera will not auto-start recording when Movie Clip Time is OFF and the micro SO card is full.
Camera Is frozen.
Unplug the power cable from the camera. Wait for 30 seconds then reconnect.
Camera takes a long time to boot up.
If the camera has not been used for a long time it may take longer to boot up due to the initial conditioning of the supercapacitor. This is normal and not a fault. The camera does not have a built-in battery.
