Boss BCAM60 User Manual

Thank you for purchasing BCAM60 Three-Channel Digital Vehicle Dash Cam. Our series of Dash Cams have been designed specifically with ease of use in mind, it is recommended NOT to change the default settings, which have been carefully selected to give the best performance for day to day use.

INTRODUCTION OF USING A DASH CAM

Basic operation:

●The Dash Cam is always recording, but the files are saved in increments of 3 minutes each.

●Eventually your MicroSD card will fill up with video files but don't worry, the camera automatically overwrites the oldest file to make space for new recordings. This way

you never run out of space and have plenty of driving historical evidence saved.

Automatic Start / Stop Technology:

●The Dash Cam senses power supplied to the cigarette lighter socket as soon as the vehicle ignition is turned on and will start to record automatically.

●When the ignition is turned off, the Dash Cam will perform an automatic shutdown process.

Tips for capturing best video footage:

●Position the Dash Cam in the centre of the windscreen and ideally behind the rear view mirror so it is not a distraction to the driver.

●Reduce the amount of sky in the picture, by angling the view of camera towards the road. Too much sky will make the road appear darker due to automatic exposure compensation.

●Remove unnecessary items from your dashboard. If objects are placed on your dashboard these can cause reflections to be seen on the windscreen and these reflections may be captured during recording.

Tips for stable memory card performance:

● Periodically reformat the memory card. Every 2-3 weeks we recommend that you reformat the memory card. This will wipe any files from the card and set it up afresh for continued use

with your Dash Cam.

Of course, you should only do this AFTER you've downloaded any files from the card that you may want to keep, as formatting the card will remove all content.

●Format your memory card using the Dash Cam. This will make sure that the card is structured specifically for your camera. Press MENU twice and choose the Format Card option. Follow the on-screen instructions accordingly.

●To prevent the chance of damage being caused to the memory card or the files stored upon it, turn OFF the Dash Cam before removing or inserting the memory card.
