Name: 4G-cloud Box, 4G-cloud Box-NA

Equipped with a 4G-cloud box, the dash cam supports 4G interconnection. After inserting the SIM card into the 4G-cloud box, the dash cam can support 4G functions such as remote viewing of vehicles, vehicle entry and exit notifications, cloud storage of important photos and videos, and collision warnings.

Installation

If the SIM card is removed or inserted while the 4G Cloud Box is running, a restart is required for proper operation.

1) Install SIM card

Use the included SIM ejector tool to remove the card tray, install the SIM card, and insert it back into the 4G-cloud box.

For optimal 4G performance, we recommend using the included SIM card, which offers plug-and-play convenience with no additional setup, along with easy data services. If you use another SIM card, you may need to configure the APN in the app. Please refer to “11. APN Configuration” to learn more.

2) Connect the 4G-box to the dash cam

① Connect the USB-C receptacle of the 4G-cloud box to the USB power cable or intelligent hardwire kit.

② Connect the USB-C plug of the 4G-cloud box to the dash cam.

4G Self-Test

Before using the 4G function for the first time, we recommend running the built-in 4G self-test to ensure it is working properly. Simply go to the “Device” interface and tap  to start the diagnostic process.

Account Authorization

Before using the 4G function, please refer to the following steps to authorize the dash cam to the current app account, otherwise it will affect the use of the 4G function.

  1. Ensure the 4G Cloud Box is properly connected to the dash cam.
  2. When powered on, the dash cam will announce “Network Connection Successful”, indicating 4G network is available.
  3. Register and log in to your DDPAI app account, then connect to the dash cam’s Wi-Fi via the app.
  4. Once connected, open the app and go to “Device Settings”> “Current Device Account”.

Function Introduction

When the dash cam is operating normally and the 4G network is available, you can view the vehicle location or perform real-time monitoring remotely through the app, without having to bring your phone close to the dash cam and connect to the dash cam’s Wi-Fi for real-time preview.

1. Tap”Vehicle Location” to remotely check the vehicle’s location.

2. Tap ”Live View”to realize remote real-time monitoring.

If you choose to use the intelligent hardwire kit to draw power, you can also remotely check the vehicle status even if the car is stalled. When the parking monitoring mode of the dash cam is set to “Sleep”, if the 4G network is normal, the app will show that the current device status is “Sleep”. At this time, tap “Live view” and the device will be awakened. After waking up, you can view the vehicle remotely.

When the app exits remote viewing, the dash cam will re-enter sleep mode after a few minutes.

When the dash cam is operating normally and the 4G network is available, if a vehicle collides, you will receive a collision warning notification on your phone. To reduce data consumption, you can tap “Device Settings” and enable “Only push emergency photos”.

Notes:

  • When a vehicle collides, emergency photos and videos will be pushed to the phone together (default settings). Pushing emergency videos to the phone will consume the data flow of the device. You can choose to enable “Only push emergency photos”and only emergency photos will be pushed to your phone when the vehicle collides.
  • Please ensurethat the collision sensitivity is turned on, otherwise the dash cam will not generate emergency photos and videos when the vehicle collides.

After setting the electronic fence range, if the dash cam is operating normally and the 4G network is available, you will immediately receive a notification through the DDPAI app on your mobile phone when a vehicle enters or leaves the range.

  • Add Electric Fence

Tap “Electric Fence” > “Add an Electronic Fence”.

 

  • Modify Electric Fence

Tap to enter the electronic fence that needs to be modified, modify the name, fence radius, and other parameters, then tap “Complete”.

When using the dash cam with a 4G-cloud box, you can obtain 2G of cloud storage space. You can automatically upload voice-captured photos, photos and videos generated by emergency collisions to the cloud space via 4G traffic to avoid loss.

  • Upload Snapshot Pictures to Cloud Space

Tap “Device Settings” and enable “Upload snapshot pictures”.

 

Notes:

  • Uploading photos and videos to the cloud will consume the 4G traffic of the device.
  • The associated voice-captured videoswill not be uploaded to the cloud.
  • When the cloud storage is full, it will stop storing new photos and videos. It is recommended that you regularly download photos and videos from the cloud to your computer and then delete them to free up cloud space for storage and ensure that subsequent important files can be uploaded to the cloud.
  • View Photos and Videos in Cloud Space

Tap “Cloud Album” and select the “Snapshot Event” page to view the voice-captured photos uploaded to the cloud space, select “Emergency” to view emergency photos and videos uploaded to the cloud space.
