WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Navig8r Crash Cam FHD360 (Monitor with Built in Cameras), 1 x Rear Camera (Dual Camera)
2 x Windscreen Suction-cup Mount (1 x Front Camera/Monitor, 1 x Rear Camera), 1 x Car
Charger, 1 x User Manual
FEATURES AND OPERATION
Memory Card required for operation
The CRASHCAM-FHD360 requires a Micro SD card (not included) to record video/image
content. (See page 11 for a table showing SD card capacity and the relevant amount of
video/image content able to be stored). For optimal performance, we recommend using a
Class 6 or 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)
To turn on/off the CRASHCAM-FHD360, press and hold the power button on the top right of
the device. When connected to the car charger (cigarette socket) of your car, the
CRASHCAM-FHD360 will turn on and off automatically when the car’s ignition is turned on
or off. If the CRASHCAM-FHD360 does not turn off immediately it means the device is
completing the file save process before turning off (usually only a few seconds).
Note: If the car charger car charger socket is “constant on” (in some European vehicles), then
the CRASHCAM-FHD360 will need to be turned on/off manually by the power button or by
removing the car charger plug.
Whilst connected to the car charger DC socket (or from a powered USB hub or PC USB port)
the LED indicator will glow RED (battery is charging) and will turn off once the battery is fully
charged. (note – the device’s battery will not charge if connected to a PC USB port)
Installation on the car windscreen
The CRASHCAM-FHD360 works best when mounted centrally and high up on the windscreen
(typically behind or close to the rear vision mirror for the front camera and towards the
centre of the rear window). Use the supplied windscreen suction mount to affix the
CRASHCAM-FHD360 to the windscreen and then adjust the mount until you can see a clear
view of the road ahead on the Monitor.
Recording
Turn on the CRASHCAM-FHD360 and press the REC button (unless auto REC on has been set
with ignition on). When recording commences, the LED indicator will flash BLUE and there
will be a flashing RED dot on screen. (A timer will also start “ticking over” on screen). The
recorded file is then saved onto the Micro SD Card. You can manually stop recording by
pressing the REC or turning the car ignition off (stopping power to the device).

Note: If G-Sensor is selected, recording will start automatically when there is movement
detected. 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 on the battery.
Iif 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.

press the MENU button. Press the ▲/▼buttons to select one of the setting options and
press then REC to select that option.
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 resolution settings and the memory capacity of the Micro SD card).
- Should you wish to KEEP (protect) the video footage of an incident from not being overwritten, press the
MODE button during recording. A “pad lock” 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. The onscreen car icon
will then begin flashing.

USB Data Connection
Connect the CRASHCAM-FHD360 to a Windows (XP or 7) PC with the USB cable (included).
(The LCD screen will display a USB icon.)
Under “My computer” or “Windows Explorer” you should see a drive which will resemble a
“Removable Disk (?:)” (like a USB Flash Drive or Hard Drive). Recorded files are stored in the
DCIM\xxx\folder. These files can be played back using Windows Media player or a
compatible .avi media player or an image viewer (for images).
Playback on TV
Note:
1) A Micro SDHC card must be inserted into the device before recording.
2) The CRASHCAM-FHD360 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 delay whilst old
files are overwritten with the newer files. This delay time will not be recorded.
3) As the CRASHCAM-FHD360 has a DC5V 2 amp input, please use the original car charger
which will step down the car’s 12/ trucks 24VDC to 5VDC and fuse the circuit in the event of
an overload. The inline fuse is contained within the car charger plug and is replaceable.

Connecting the NAVCAM-FHD360 in the Car
The above wiring diagram shows a left hand drive vehicle. Wiring path is only
a suggestion.
1. CRASHCAM-FHD360 device mounted behind the rear vision mirror.
2. Car charger cable routed behind rear vision mirror.
3. Cable hidden behind roof headlining.
4. Cable hidden behind “A” pillar – beware of airbag equipped cars.
5. Cable is routed beside the dashboard/near the door hinges.
6. Cable is passed under the passenger carpet (or under the dashboard).
7. Car charger plug is connected to the car’s “cigarette socket”.
Installing the rear camera is done in much the same fashion, however the cable is
run 1) under the kick panel next to the passenger seat 2) around and under the seat
belt floor mount 3) under the kick panel next to the rear left passenger seat and lastly
4) behind the rear seat and attached to the rear window.
Once the wiring and installation of the CRASHCAM-FHD360 has been completed, please check the
following:
- With the car’s ignition on (or engine started), the Blue LED indicator on the CRASHCAM-FHD360 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
appearing on the LCD screen. If this doesn’t happen then power is still being supplied to the car charger socket.
and the device will need to be switched off manually.
