INTRODUCTION TO USING AN IN-CAR CAM

The iN-CAR CAM range 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.

Basic operation. The iN-CAR CAM is set to record video seamlessly, in ﬁles of just 3 minutes in length. This means that each video ﬁle is a manageable size should you need to download and send to your insurance company etc. Eventually your MicroSD card will ﬁll up with video ﬁles but don't worry, the camera automatically deletes 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. Typically a 16Gb card will store the last 2 hours of driving footage.

There are 3 modes of camera operation - Video, Photo and Playback. Video Mode: The default mode when the camera is turned on, for video recording. Photo Mode: Allows you to take still photographs. Playback mode: Allows you to view recorded video or photographs upon the dash cam LCD screen. Press the MODE button on the iN-CAR CAM to select required mode.

Automatic Start / Stop Technology. The iN-CAR 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 iN-CAR CAM will perform an automatic shutdown process.

1. Tips for capturing best video footage:

1.1 Position the iN-CAR CAM in the centre of the windscreen and ideally behind the rear view mirror so it is not a distraction to the driver.

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

1.3 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.

2. Tips for stable memory card performance:

2.1 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 iN-CAR 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.

2.1 Format your memory card using the iN-CAR 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.

2.2 Switch off the iN-CAR CAM before removing the SD memory card, to prevent the chance of damage being caused to the memory card or the ﬁles stored upon it, turn OFF the iN-CAR CAM before removing or inserting the memory card.
