You will get optimum performance from your camera if you mount it on the front
windshield, behind the rear-view mirror. This will minimize the impact on the driver’s

optimize the camera’s view of the road ahead.
Windshield Mounting

Screw the tripod mount onto the base of the suction
cup mount.
Slide your CDR 900 onto the tripod mount using the
channel on the top of the unit.
To adjust the angle to the road, loosen the angle
locking ring, turn the camera so that it has a clear
view of the road ahead and tighten the knob.
Press the Suction Cup rmly onto the windshield.
Push down on the lever to lock the suction cup in
place.
Plug the 12 foot Micro-USB cable into the camera.
Plug the cigarette lighter adapter on the power
cord into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter.
You can temporarily remove the camera by sliding it off the tripod mount.

Continuous Loop Recording: Once the memory card is full, this camera will
continuously overwrite the oldest footage recorded.
G-Sensor: The G-Sensor is an accelerometer that can detect an impact caused
by an accident. If the G-Sensor is triggered the camera will automatically save
the footage 30 seconds before and after the incident to a protected le that will
not be overwritten by loop recording.
NOTE: By default, the CDR 900 formats the SD card so that 50% of the
memory is used for Action Cam Mode and 50% is reserved for Dash
Cam Mode. This allocation can be modied through settings in the App.
