What’s in the box
Navig8r Crash Cam FHDGPS, Windscreen Suction-cup Mount with built in GPS Antenna, 1 x
1.2m Micro USB Cable, 1 x 12v DC Car Charger, 1 x HDMI cable, User Manual
FEATURES AND OPERATION
Memory Card required for operation
The CRASHCAM-FHDGPS requires a Micro SD card (not included) to record video/image
content. (See page 11 for a table showing SD card capacity and the amount of video content able to be stored). For optimal performance, we recommend using a Class 6or 10 Micro SD
card to ensure fast data transfer rates (Class 4 cards will still work however may result in
slower transfer rates).
Power ON / OFF function (Auto ON / OFF)
When connected to the 12v DC socket (cigarette socket) of your car, the CRASHCAMFHDGPS will turn ON and OFF automatically and start recording when the car’s ignition is
turned ON and OFF. If the CRASHCAM-FHDGPS does not turn off immediately it means the
device is completing the file save process before turning off (usually only a few seconds).
The CRASHCAM-FHDGPS can manually be turned ON or OFF by pressing and holding the
power button on the bottom of the device. To turn OFF, press and hold the same power
button.
Note: If the 12v socket is “constant on” (in some European vehicles), then the CRASHCAMFHDGPS will need to be turned on/off manually by the power button or by removing the 12v
plug.
While connected to the car’s 12V DC socket (or from a powered USB hub or PC USB port)
the LED indicator will glow red (battery is charging) and will be off once the battery is fully
Whilst connected to the car’s 12V DC socket (or from a powered USB hub or PC USB port)
the LED indicator will glow red (battery is charging) and will be off once the battery is full.
Note – the device’s battery will not charge if connected to a PC USB port.
Installation on the car windscreen
The CRASHCAM-FHDGPS works best when mounted centrally and high up on the
windscreen (typically behind or close to the rear vision mirror). Use the supplied windscreen
suction mount (with built in GPS antenna) to affix the CRASHCAM-FHDGPS to the
windscreen by turning the square GPS antenna part to lock down the suction mount. Then
plug the 3.5mm plug to the Crashcam to enable the GPS antenna. Adjust the mount /
camera until you can see a clear view of the road ahead on the device LCD.

Manual Ver 2.1 09/2013
Once the wiring and installation of the CRASHCAM-FHDGPS has been completed, please check the
following:
- With the car’s ignition on (or engine started), the Red LED indicator on the CRASHCAM-FHDGPS will light up
and the LCD screen should turn on. Recording should start automatically. This will indicate a successful
installation.
- When the car’s ignition is turned off, the device should turn off within 20 seconds with the “Navig8r” logo
Recording
Recording will start automatically once power is connected to a vehicles cigarette power
socket. When recording commences, a flashing RED dot will appear in the LCD together with
separate timer readout. The recorded file is saved onto the Micro SD Card. You can
manually stop recording by pressing the VIDEO/PLAY button or turning the car ignition off
(stopping power to the device).
Note: If motion detection is selected, recording will start automatically whenever there is
movement in front of the camera. This setting is ideal for when the car is parked or
unattended. Note that if left on battery power (car is turned off), the standby time and
record time will be dependent on the level of charge in the battery.
Conversely, if the motion detection feature is selected whilst driving, the camera will stop
recording when no movement is detected, such as when stopped at a traffic light, but will
recommence recording when the car moves again.
In the event of an incident/accident – Use Auto Bump File Save.
- Due to the “cycle recording” nature of this technology, older recorded files will be overwritten (depending on
the chosen resolution settings and the memory capacity of the Micro SD card).
- Should you wish to KEEP (preserve) the video footage of an incident from not being overwritten, press the
SOS button during recording. A “locked key” confirmation icon will appear on the screen.
- Alternately the in built G sensor will trigger an auto save lock if it senses a bump (sensitivity is selectable via
the Menu), so that the file being recorded is not overwritten in the cycle record process.

will then appear on the screen.
Under “My computer” or “Windows Explorer” you

DCIM\xxx\folder. These files can be played back using Windows Media player or a
compatible media player or image viewer (for images).
Playback on TV
Connect the CRASHCAM-FHDGPS to a TV or AV monitor with a HDMI cable.
Turn on the CRASHCAM-FHDGPS and select Playback mode (as described above in Playback
mode setting). You will need a Mini HDMI to (normal) HDMI cable (supplied)
Note:
1) A Micro SDHC card must be inserted into the device before recording.
2) The CRASHCAM-FHDGPS supports cycle recording in increments of 1/2/3 minutes. It will
overwrite the oldest video files with new ones. Depending on the size of the Micro SDHC card
and the speed rating of the card, there may be as much as a 3 second pause whilst old files
are overwritten with the newer files. This pause time will not be recorded.
3) As the CRASHCAM-FHDGPS has a DC5V input, please use the original car charger which
will step down the car’s 12/24VDC to 5VDC and fuse the circuit in the event of an overload.
The inline fuse is contained within the 12v DC plug and is replaceable.

GPS Tracking Software
When GPS co-ordinates are being recorded, they are saved as the same name
as the AVI video file but as a TXT file. The GPS tracking software automatically
combines the co-ordinates data with the video data as it is being played back.
Note: The AVI file and TXT with the same name must be stored and played
back from the same folder. They cannot be separated.
To playback your video file with GPS co-ordinates and Google Maps, first
install and RUN the GPS Tracking program. Then select OPEN FILE to locate
and playback a file. Select the file. Playback should begin automatically.
Note: Save your video and data files to your PC to ensure the best playback
