Wipe the front windshield with a clean soft cloth to ensure that the bracket can stick firmly.

Step 2: Power on the Dash Cam

After inserting the car charger into the cigarette lighter, connect the Dash Cam to the car charger using the included Type-C power cord.

After the car starts, the Dash Cam will automatically start when it is powered on, and the start-up prompt tone “Hello, DDPAI” will be issued, and the Dash Cam will start recording at this time.

Step 3: Determine the installation position of the Dash Cam and adjust the lens angle

① After connecting the DDPAI App to the Dash Cam, launch the app, tap“Device Settings”> “ADAS intelligent assistance reminder”> “Adjust ADAS Installation position”.

② Select “Go to live preview”>“Enter live preview”to enter the calibration interface. Then you will see the on-screen instructions to assist with installation, according which the installation position of the N5 Dual is located.

● Vertically: Moving the N5 Dual side to side with the help of the vertical guideline on the middle of the screen, keep adjusting until to the middle of the vehicle’s front end align to this vertical guideline.

● Horizontally: Rotating the camera up and down with the help of the horizontal guideline on the middle of the screen, keep adjusting until the ground-level horizon outside vanishes from the scope of this horizontal guideline.

Note Please refer to the horizon line and vertical center line to determine the position of the Dash Cam, otherwise it will affect the use of ADAS.

③ After completing the installation, tap “Calibration completed”.

Step 5: Stabilize the Dash Cam

① After determining the installation position of the Dash Cam, attach the electrostatic sticker to the installation position.

② Peel off the film of the 3M sticker on the bracket, and stick the bracket to the center of the electrostatic sticker.

Note Please pay attention to the direction and position when attaching the 3M sticker which is a disposable item. Please confirm that the recording angle of the Dash Cam is correct before attaching.

Step 6: Wiring

As shown in the following figure, please place the power cord from the cigarette lighter receptacle to the fixed position of the Dash Cam, and hide the power cord in the plastic guard plate of the car by using the crowbar.

Note The cigarette lighter receptacle might be positioned differently in your car. The figure above is provided for reference only.

▶ Connect the fuse box (step-down line is required)

This wiring method ensures neatness and beauty in the car and realize parking monitoring function at the same time. But the wiring operation is complicated. In order to avoid vehicle damage caused by misoperation, please complete the installation at a professional automobile service shop.

Note The step-down line needs to be purchased separately or by purchasing a package including the step-down line.

▶ Connect the OBD Interface (OBD power cable is required)

This wiring method is easy for operation and can also realize the parking monitoring function.

Step 1: Plug the Type-C connector of the OBD power cable into the Type-C port of the Dash Cam.

Step 2: Connect the other end of the OBD power cable to the OBD port of the vehicle.

Note ● The OBD power cable needs to be purchased separately or by purchasing a package including the OBD power cable.
● The location of the OBD interface is different in different models. The above figure is for reference only.

Rear Camera Installation

1. Clean the rear windshield (the approximate installation position of the rear camera Is shown in the figure below).

2. Connect the rear camera to the power cable (rear).

3. Insert the rear power cable fully into the N5 Dual headphone jack.

Note Please make sure that the power cable is fully plugged into the jack, if not, the rear camera indicator will not on, and the rear camera will not work.

4. Route the rear power cable from the Dash Cam to the rear camera, cable routing is shown in the figure above.

5. Remove the red backing film of the adhesive sticker, and adjust the field of view of the rear camera, then fix the rear camera to the inner wall of the rear windshield.

Radar Module Installation (Optional Accessory)

Note Radar Module Installation (Optional Accessory)

Step 1: Plug the Type-C connector of the OBD power cable into the Type-C port of the radar module.

Step 2: Connect the other end of the OBD power cable to the OBD port of the vehicle.

Note The figure above is for reference only, please refer to the actual OBD port location.

Step 3: Plug the Type-C connector of the radar cable into the Type-C port of the Dash Cam.

Step 4: Attach the electrostatic sticker to the recommended area as shown in the figure below. Remove the protective film from the radar, attach the adhesive side to the windshield close to the Dash Cam (make sure the indicator of the radar module is facing the windshield).

Note ● The figure above is for reference only, please refer to the actual situation.
● Do NOT place the radar behind the rearview mirror. Because rearview mirror obstruction may affect radar performance.
● The default low-voltage protection value is 12V. When the car battery voltage is lower than the set value, the power-off protection will be activated to ensure that the car battery does not lose power during parking monitoring.
● The step-down line supplies power from 12V to 5V and has a built-in high-precision voltage detection chip to output a more stable voltage.
● The OBD power cable is ONLY compatible with DDPAI Dash Cam.
● The OBD power cable only obtains power from the OBD port and will not cause safety hazards to the car.
● Please use and store the OBD power cable within the specified temperature range (Working temperature: -20℃ to 70℃, storage temperature: -30℃ to 85℃).

Radar Function (Optional)

If you have installed the optional hardwire kit and radar module successfully, you can use the radar detection function in the parking monitoring mode.

After the device enters the parking monitoring mode (sleep mode), the radar starts working. Within the detection range of the radar, when the radar detects a moving object, it will wake up the Dash Cam to record a 10-second video. If the radar still detects moving objects within 20 seconds during this period, it will perform time-lapse recording (up to 30 minutes). If not, it will enter sleep mode. If the radar/AI recognition does not detect any target objects (people/motor vehicles/non-motor vehicles/animals) for 2 minutes, it will also enter sleep mode again.

Note ● The radar function needs to be realized by the optional hardwire kit & radar module.
● After the car is turned off, the radar starts to detect. If it continues to detect a driver/passenger in the car, it will not enter the parking monitoring mode. The Dash Cam will not enter the parking monitoring mode until the radar detects no target in the front or rear within 5 seconds.

① Install the hardwire kit & radar module. For details, please refer to Chapter 3 Radar Module Installation (Optional).

② When the system detects radar module (optional), the parking monitoring mode automatically switches to sleep mode.
