2.1 Dash Cam Installation

The wiring and power-taking installation method of the Dash Cam include the following three types. You can watch the setup video for reference.

• Cigarette Lighter Power Supply

Insert the car charger into the cigarette lighter, and connect the car charger and the Dash Cam through the power cord. Most of the power cord will be embedded in the plastic guard plate of the car, and a small part will be exposed in the car. This wiring method is simple and easy to operate.

Step 1: Install the Dock

Slide the Dock in the direction of the arrow until it snaps into place.

Step 2: Insert the Micro-SD card into the card slot.

Step 3: Wipe the front windshield

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

Step 4: Power on the Dash Cam

After plugging the car charger into the cigarette lighter, plug one end of the included Type-C power cord into the power port on the Dock, and connect the other end to the car charger.

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

① Please refer to Chapter 3 App Connection to connect the Dash Cam to your mobile phone.

Then launch the app, enter the preview interface of the DDPAI 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 dash cam is located.

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

Step 6: 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.

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 7: 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.

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

This wiring method ensures neatness and beauty in the car, and enables parking monitoring function at the same time. However, the wiring process is complicated. To avoid vehicle damage due to improper operation, please have the installation completed at a professional automobile service shop.

The intelligent hardwire kit needs to be purchased separately or by purchasing a package including the hardwire kit.

• 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.

• 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.

5.3 Parking Monitoring

When you select the intelligent hardwire kit to take power, the parking monitoring function can be realized. After the vehicle is turned off, the Dash Cam will automatically enter the parking monitoring mode. If an emergency occurs, the Dash Cam will automatically take a photo and generate a related video. You can set the parking mode and vehicle battery protection voltage value.

5.3.1 Set the parking mode

① After the mobile phone is connected to the Dash Cam, launch the app, and tap “Device Settings” > “Enter after the vehicle has stalled”.

② Select the parking monitoring mode.

Time-lapse Recording Mode

In this mode, the dash cam records continuously at a low frame rate after the engine is turned off to save storage space.

• Operation: The device enters time-lapse recording automatically upon engine shutdown. The night vision mode will be automatically turned on in time-lapse recording mode to ensure clearer night parking recording images. It enters sleep mode when the preset timer expires or shuts down completely if low battery voltage is detected. Once shut down, it can only be awakened by starting the ignition.

• Collision Detection: If a collision occurs during time-lapse recording:

1. The device captures a photo (filename starts with "G").
2. It records a 10-second related time-lapse video.
3. It records the collision event (an alert will sound the next time the ignition is turned on).

Sleep Mode

This is the power-saving mode. After the engine is turned off, the device stops recording and enters a low-power standby state.

• Standard Trigger:

1. Upon detecting a collision, the device triggers AOV fast wake-up to capture a photo (filename starts with "G" and ends with "L").
2. It wakes up to record a 30-second video, then returns to sleep mode.

• Intelligent Logic (Continuous Events):

1. If collisions occur frequently for 2 minutes, it switches to Time-lapse Recording.
2. During this time-lapse phase, if no collision is detected for 30 seconds, it returns to sleep mode.

• Low Voltage Protection: If low voltage is detected, the device shuts down completely and requires vehicle ignition to reactivate.

The parking monitoring mode requires the intelligent hardwire kit (sold separately).

5.3.2 Set the battery protection threshold

When the vehicle battery voltage falls below the set threshold, the Dash Cam will automatically power off to prevent battery drain and ensure reliable engine startup. You can adjust this protection threshold in the app based on your needs.

If you are concerned about battery drain, it is recommended to set a higher voltage threshold.

5.4 Collision Detection & Locked Videos

When the Dash Cam is in working mode, when a collision is detected (such as a sudden braking or collision of a vehicle), it will generate an emergency photo and an emergency-related video, and store them separately. These files will not get deleted by loop recording function.

5.4.1 Setting Camera Sensitivity

The higher the sensitivity of the Dash Cam, the easier it is to trigger photographing/taking videos; The lower the sensitivity of the Dash Cam, the less likely it is to trigger photographing/taking videos.

The default collision sensitivity of the Dash Cam is "Medium", and it supports the selection of collision sensitivity in seven levels: "High", "Medium-high", "Medium", "Medium-low", "Low", "Off" and "Custom".

Select the appropriate collision sensor sensitivity. In emergencies such as vehicle collision or sudden braking, the Dash Cam will be triggered to take pictures and generate an emergency photo and video. If you select "Off", in emergency situations such as vehicle collision or sudden braking, there will be no photos and videos. You can switch the collision sensing sensitivity of the Dash Cam through the following steps.

①After the mobile phone is connected to the Dash Cam, open the app, enter the "Device" interface, tap "Device Settings" > “Adjust collision sensitivity”.

② Select "Driving" / "Parking" and set the appropriate sensitivity.

①After the mobile phone is connected to the Dash Cam, launch the app, enter the "Device" interface, tap "Device Settings" > “Duration of related videos during shooting”.

② Set the duration of the short video according to your needs.

• 10s: After the Dash Cam detects a collision, it will generate an emergency related video of 5 seconds before and after the shooting time.
• 20s: After the Dash Cam detects a collision, it will generate an emergency related video of 10 seconds before and after the shooting time.
• 30s: After the Dash Cam detects a collision, it will generate an emergency related video of 15 seconds before and after the shooting time.
• Off: After the Dash Cam detects a collision, it will still generate an emergency related video of 5 seconds before and after the shooting time.
