Cam Recorder
Thank you for purchasing CAMOAT RoadSafe (RS1) – an advanced vehicle dash cam
recorder with a separate display hub system that is specifically designed to capture
real-time video of events happening outside your vehicle while driving.
The camera is separate from the main display hub and mounted on your car’s
windshield or rear-view mirror. The separation makes the camera unit smaller and more
discreet which allows the display hub unit to be stored safely out-of-sight. The RS1 uses a
170° Wide Angle Lens for the best field of view and records video in crystal clear Full HD
1080P to ensure all the important details of your trip are recorded. This User Manual
gives you step-by-step instructions and advice to help you get the best experience from
your new device. Please read carefully before using the RS1.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

safe conditions and help protect your RS1 from potential damage.

GETTING STARTED
Installing the Memory Card
Before you can use or turn on the device, you must install a memory card.
1. Press the provided memory card into the slot on the display hub.
2. When you hear a click, the memory card is secure in the display hub slot.
Connecting the Device to Vehicle Power
1. Turn off the vehicle.
2. Mount camera lens on the rear-view mirror or windshield.
3. Route the HDMI cable around the interior of the vehicle.
4. Plug the camera lens in the HDMI port on the display hub.
5. Plug the power cable into a power outlet in your vehicle.
6. Plug the other end of the power cable into a USB port on the display hub.

Auto Start
When the device connects to a 12-volt power outlet, the RS1 turns on automatically
when you turn on your vehicle and powers down when the vehicle turns off.

HDMI Cord Management
The RS1 comes with an 11 inch HDMI cord. Route the HDMI cord to the display hub.
Place the display hub in a discreet area such as the glove box or the bottom/inner side
of driver/passenger seat.
The RS1 is pre-configured with the most optimal resolution setting. Install the camera lens
onto your windshield or rear-view mirror so the lens is not blocking your view. Once the
above is done, and you start your vehicle, the unit starts to record automatically. Using
the TFT screen, point the camera to where you would like to record.
The TFT screen automatically powers down, but the RS1 continues to record, and a
green LED light flashes to indicate that the unit is recording. To view the display briefly
press the UP or DOWN button and the display turns on and then turns off again after a
brief period.
When you power down the vehicle, the RS1 automatically powers down after 3 sec. The
recording length per file is adjustable from 1, 2, or 3 minute segment lengths in the loop
setting.
Video Recording
The RS1 immediately begins recording video when it turns on, and it continues
recording, overwriting the oldest, non-protected videos until it turns off (looping).
Protecting a Video File
The RS1's sensor automatically detects accidental collisions. The sensor also called a
Gravity Sensor (G-Sensor) has sensitivity adjustments in Settings. By default, the G-Sensor
is on and is set to Low Sensitivity. When the sensor detects a collision, the RS1
automatically locks the clip to prevents any overwriting. You can also manually protect
videos at any time by pressing the Menu button while recording. A key icon indicates
that clip is locked and prevents overwriting, the only way to delete the file is manually.
Taking a Picture
Press the OK button to stop the RS1 from recording and the on-screen recording icon
stops flashing. Press the MODE button to switch to Picture Mode. In this mode press the
OK button to take a picture, and push the UP and DOWN buttons to zoom in and out.

Viewing Videos and Photos
The RS1 has a 2.7” TFT screen to calibrate the cameras viewing angle as well as playing
back video with sound or viewing pictures. The screen allows the user to be able to
change settings without having to plug the RS1 to a computer. There are 3 modes:
Video, Photo, and Video/Photo playback. Press the Mode button when the RS1 is not
recording to allow the user to select between modes.
1. To stop the RS1 from recording, press the OK button.
2. Press the MODE button until the Video/Photo Playback selection appears.
3. Select between the videos and photos by using the UP and DOWN buttons.
4. Play and pause a video using the OK button, and to exit the video, press the MODE
button.
