Using your dash camera in the car
When using your dash camera while driving it is essential that you drive with due care and attention. Never modify the settings or program your dash camera while driving. Only look at the screen when it is safe to do so. When mounting the dash camera in your car make sure that it does not obscure your view or impede the operation of any driving controls.
