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, 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. 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.

Please check the ﬁrmware version of the Dash Cam, the version can be found in the set up menu under System Info. The latest versions are available to download from our website, where you can download and update when necessary.

Typically a 16Gb card will store the last 120 minutes of driving footage.

The Time and Date are automatically set upon the camera from satellite data, however it will always set Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For summer months where the clocks are brought forward or for driving in other countries, adjust the time in the General Settings Menu (Timezone / DST) to account for the time diﬀerence from GMT by adding or subtracting 1 hour etc, if required.

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.

1.4 To improve dash board glare, a Nextbase Reﬂection free lens can be purchased.

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.

2.2 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.

2.3 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.

NOTICES

GPS Notices

Applicable Dash Cam models feature a GPS Satellite receiver within. Once a fix has been achieved based upon satellite signal reception, positional information can be derived in Latitude and Longitude. A change in location, over the time it takes to change location, allows speed to be calculated.

Where the Dash Cam has a GPS receiver it may experience degraded performance if used in proximity to any device that uses a terrestrial broadband network operating close to the frequencies used by the Global Positioning Service (GPS). The Dash Cam may also experience similar degradation in performance if used in the proximity of a heated front windscreens and other electronics locally radiating EMC around 1.5GHz

Speed information derived from GPS information is not warranted to be totally accurate as it is derived from the GPS receiver's location changing with time. The precision of the location information depends entirely on the number of satellites within view of the receiving device and also the calculation takes time to process and subsequently display the result. As a result you should not use the speed information displayed on the device as your sole or definitive guide as to the speed of your vehicle.

G-Sensor Notice

The G-Sensor within the Dash Cam measures forces exerted upon it, with reference to one g which is the nominal force exerted upon us when stationary on the earth's surface. The G-Sensor will also trigger to protect any recording currently in progress, if a pre-determined threshold of force is exceeded.

The G-Sensor protection will be adversely affected if the Dash Cam is NOT mounted in the vertical direction i.e. with the lens pointing to or from the direction of travel.

G-Force information derived from a G-Sensor is not warranted to be totally accurate at all times, as it is derived from the G-Sensor through a sampling method over time. The precision of the G-Sensor value recorded depends upon when the acceleration took place at the instance of the sample taken.

The thresholds to trigger the video protection rely upon a trigger value being exceeded between two successive samples, in any one of the three G-Sensor axis.

If the Automatic G-Sensor protection does NOT trigger during an event, then the Protect button should be pressed, in order to make the file read only. Protecting the file can also be performed using the Playback function upon the Dash Cam (models with LCD screens), or indeed through the Cam Viewer App for applicable Wi-Fi models.

Should your vehicle not have a 12-24Vdc outlet, but does have a 5Vdc USB Outlet, this can be used instead. Connect the USB cable supplied with your iN-CAR CAM in place of the car power cable. Ensure you connect the USB cable to the Powered Mount only, NOT directly to the camera when using in–car

Note:

- Do NOT wire the iN-CAR CAM directly to a 12V supply by cutting the cigarette plug off the end of the cable, or damage will result.

- A Nextbase hardwire kit is available from your retailer. This connects directly to the vehicle fusebox and hence leaves your cigarette socket available for Phone / Sat Nav charging. The Nextbase hardwire kit includes the necessary 12-24VDC to 5Vdc convertor and battery protection circuitry.

12-24V DC

IN VEHICLE INSTALLATION (CONTD.)

Please read and follow the notes below for the safe operation of your iN-CAR CAM within your vehicle.

As per the installation instructions, you must install the iN-CAR CAM so it does NOT obstruct the drivers view of the road, preferably on the passenger side of the vehicle and behind the rear view mirror. Whilst the iN-CAR CAM clearly needs to view through the windshield in an area swept by the windshield wipers, the iN-CAR CAM should be installed so as not to intrude significantly within the wiped area. A 40mm intrusion into the green wiped area is the maximum permitted by law.

Do NOT mount the iN-CAR CAM in front of the driver, as depicted by the red area in the above illustration.

When installing the iN-CAR CAM in a vehicle, always place the device securely against the windshield and where possible conceal the power cable under trim. Make sure that the iN-CAR CAM power cable does not interfere with the drivers operating controls, such as the steering wheel, pedals or gear levers.

Do NOT mount the iN-CAR CAM in front of an airbag field of deployment or in a position to obscure any mirrors.

Clean the windshield at the point of location, prior to fitting the iN-CAR CAM, also, applying some moisture to the suction cup may be beneficial, to ensure absolute adhesion.

It is recommended NOT to operate the iN-CAR CAM whilst driving. The automatic Start-Stop technology incorporated within the device negates any need to operate the controls whilst driving.

Adjust any settings or review recordings whilst stationery, not whilst driving.

After the preliminary SETUP has been carried out upon the iN-CAR CAM, adjust the Screen Saver setting to 1 minute, this will blank the screen automatically shortly after starting the vehicle and therefore the screen will NOT be a distraction in any way to the driver.

FIRST TIME USE

To ensure the set up of this Dash Cam is as quick and simple as possible, there is an easy to follow ‘First Time Use’ menu.

This menu is used to set your preferred Language, Country (this defines your time zone) and speed units.

The menu is available when -

1) The Dash Cam is first turned on.

2) There has been a Firmware update applied to the Dash Cam.

3) After the Dash Cams settings have been reset, by using the ‘Defaults Settings’ option within the Setup Menu.

Simply follow the on screen instructions to select the Language, Country and Speed Units. The settings that influence the displayed time & date will be applied upon receiving a GPS connection.

Note:

- Whilst the First Time Use menus adjust the settings within the Dash Cam, the settings can still be adjusted thereafter, by using the normal Setup Menu options. Changing country location is one such example of a change you could make, after the First Time Use setup.

Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select required function and press OK to confirm selection.

- Mass Storage

- PC Camera

- Power On

Mass Storage (Windows)

When this option is selected, the iN-CAR CAM will function as a card reader for your PC. An extra drive will appear, e.g. NEXTBASE (D:) and you will be able to view / manage the stored files upon the MicroSD card within the iN-CAR CAM.

Note:

- The iN-CAR CAM is a ‘read-only’ device, therefore uploading files to the SD card when in Mass Storage mode is not possible.

Turn off the camera before disconnecting from your computer.

Mass Storage (Mac)

When this option is selected, the iN-CAR CAM will function as a card reader for your MAC. The 'NEXTBASE' external USB disk icon will appear on your MAC and you will be able to view and/or manage stored files.

Note:

- The iN-CAR CAM is a ‘read-only’ device, therefore uploading files to the SD card when in Mass Storage mode is not possible.

Turn off the camera before disconnecting from your computer.

PC Camera (Windows & Mac)

When this option is selected, the iN-CAR CAM will function as a webcam for your PC. Start the normal application upon your PC that uses a webcam (e.g. Skype) and select the iN-CAR CAM.

Power On (Windows & Mac)

When this option is selected, the iN-CAR CAM will power on with all functions available. This includes charging of the internal battery, a full charge will take approximately 2 hours.

Note:

- ALWAYS turn Off the iN-CAR CAM before disconnecting from your computer.

TV CONNECTION

The iN-CAR CAM can be connected to external video equipment, such as a television or a monitor within your vehicle that uses standard RCA inputs.

Connect the AV cable (sold separately) between the iN-CAR CAM and your external device, then turn on the iN-CAR CAM. The screen on the iN-CAR CAM will be blank as the video image is now being sent to the external device, the red power LED on the iN-CAR CAM will be lit indicating the unit is turned on.

Make sure that the iN-CAR CAM battery is charged prior to use, as power is not supplied to the iN-CAR CAM via the AV cable.

For prolonged use an external power supply may be required, use the supplied USB cable with a 5Vdc/USB adaptor, of the type typically supplied with mobile phones.

Note:

- ENSURE that any external power sources are of the correct 5Vdc output, otherwise damage will be caused that is not covered under the manufacturers warranty.

Please visit: nextbaseshop.co.uk to purchase the correct AV Cable (PN: NBDVR-AV-B).

Wi-Fi CONNECTION

I cannot remove the Micro SD card.

Video files cannot be played.

Video file playback is jumpy.

The sound is not synchronised with video during playback.

Video has no sound.

Photograph is blurred.

I can only record a few minutes of video on my Micro SD card.

Mass Storage or PC Camera function does not work.

I cannot save files to the memory card when the iN-CAR CAM is connected to my computer under Mass Storage mode.

The sucker will not stay in place upon my windscreen.

Remove the protective lens cover, clean the lens, clean the windscreen!

Micro SD card are very small and require delicate use. Align the card with the diagram shown upon the iN-CAR CAM and insert the card until you feel a slight spring resistance. You now need to push the card, using your finger nail, until you hear and feel a small latch. Release pressure and the card will stay retained within the device. Use the edge of a small coin if you have difficulty.

With the card previously installed, you now need to push the card further inwards slightly, using your finger nail, until you hear and feel a small latch. Use the edge of a small coin if you have difficulty. Release pressure and the card will spring out sufficiently for you to take hold of it.

The video files from the iN CAR CAM are in MOV format and may not be compatible with your PC if suitable playback software is not installed.

Remove the SD card and reformat to remove non-contiguous files. For best recording use a branded class 10 type (48MB/s) or UHS type 1 micro SD card of 8 to 128GB recommended size. PC may not be sufficient for the playback task, try a different PC. Copy the recorded video files onto the PC / Mac for playback directly rather than use the iN-CAR CAM as a card reader, as the USB system on your PC may be too slow for HD video playback..

The Codecs upon your PC may not be compatible or the latest standard. Download the latest Codecs from: www.nextbase.com

Ensure that “Record Audio” setting is turned ON within the Video Menu.

Hold the camera still whilst taking the photo. Please be aware the photo is taken around 1 second after the shutter noise is heard.

Change the recording size (Video Length function) to a smaller size. Increase the size of the MicroSD card. Max 128GB.

The Mass storage function will work on both Windows and Mac. Restart the PC, as this may be required for the necessary driver to be loaded correctly. Disconnect and reconnect the In-CAR CAM. Contact NEXTBASE for the required driver.

Correct, the iN-CAR CAM is a ‘read-only’ device. It is not recommenced to save files from other sources to the same memory that you will use for recording within the iN-CAR CAM, as these may have a negative effect on the performance of the iN-CAR CAM.

Ensure that the protective cover (plastic film) has been removed from the suction pad. Moisten the sucker slightly before affixing upon the windscreen. Ensure that the locking lever is fully closed. Make sure that the glass is smooth and clean. Do not stick to glass that has any non-smooth effect or paint whatsoever. Affix to the glass firmly and then close the locking lever fully.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

My iN-CAR CAM shuts down by itself after a while.

No power to my iN-CAR CAM, but it works upon my PC.

The SD card in my iN-CAR CAM cannot be read.

I can't delete files on my SD card within the iN-CAR CAM.

The screen blanks after a few minutes upon my iN-CAR CAM.

I get the message “Cluster size wrong. Please format SD card” on screen.

The battery will not charge.

The battery only lasts 6 minutes.

I get the message “Card Error” on screen.

I get the message “Card Full” on screen.

The AV Out from my iN-CAR CAM just buzzes on my TV.

I have turned on 'Parking Mode' and now can't stop the recording.

When I press the MENU button nothing happens.

Either the battery has gone flat, or there is no power to the iN-CAR CAM and the AutoPower Off period has been triggered.

The cigarette power cable is not working. Inspect the fuse in the Car Power plug. Replacement fuse = 2A 32mm type. If the fuse is found to be blown, inspect the power cable for damage which may have caused the fuse blow.

Use a good quality branded SD card between 8GB and 128GB (Class 10 or UHS type 1) and format the card from within the Setup menu.

Check to see if these files are 'protected', if so please follow instructions to 'un-protect'.

The screen saver is set to ON. Change settings to OFF if required. Default setting is off.

The SD card has been formatted in another device and the Cluster Size is not compatible. Use the Setup option to re-format the SD card from within the iN-CAR CAM.

Ensure the iN-CAR CAM is connected to a reliable power source and that the supplied Car Power Cable is being used, with the Green LED lit.

The battery will only receive charge when the iN-CAR CAM is connected to power, please reconnect the car adaptor and leave the iN-CAR CAM turned on. Charging takes approximately 90 minutes and a full charge is indicated when the BLUE (charging) LED goes out.

This is normal, the battery design allows the 'Auto Power Off' feature to function in event of power loss within the vehicle. It is not intended as an alternative power source to replace the supplied car adaptor.

The SD card has become unusable by the iN-CAR CAM. Remove useful files using your PC and then perform a “FORMAT” upon the SD card from within iN-CAR CAM the Setup Menu.

The SD card has become full as there may be too many protected files which will not be deleted to allow for further recording to take place. Delete unnecessary files or perform a full FORMAT upon the SD card from within the iN-CAR CAM Setup Menu.

Ensure that the AV cable is correct. Use a stereo 2.5mm jack plug where the tip is the video and the ring is the audio signal. Please visit: nextbaseshop.com to purchase the correct AV Cable (PN: NBDVR-AV-B).

The iN-CAR CAM will start a recording whenever motion is detected. To turn off Parking Mode firstly shutdown the iN-CAR CAM and remove the SD card, this will avoid recording being activated accidentally. Switch the iN-CAR CAM On and within the Setup Menu, turn off the 'Parking Mode'.

This is normal during recording. Stop the recording before pressing the MENU button. If recording re-starts before you can press MENU, then see the Parking Mode section above.

The date & time on my iN-CAR CAM do not adjust for Daylight Savings time (Summer time).

After I manually set the Time correctly upon my iN-CAR CAM, it adjusts itself by one hour to the wrong time shortly afterwards.

My Mobile Device will not connect to my camera.

The NEXTBASE Cam Viewer app will not open.

When I open the NEXTBASE Cam Viewer App I get a message saying 'Please Check Device'.

When I try to play back a file from my iN-CAR CAM I get a message saying 'Buffering' but the video does not load.

My camera feels warm when it is operating.

Battery only lasts 30 seconds.

Card full and card error message.

No mass storage option.

Unresolved issues.

This is not a cause for concern, simply go to the settings within Google Chrome and turn off the malicious software protection temporarily to download and install the playback software. Reinstate previous Google Chrome settings thereafter.

After power on and with the device mounted with clear view of the sky it can take up to 10 minutes to find the three satellites required to achieve a stable signal. Reception can also be affected by atmospheric conditions and the proximity of buildings / trees obscuring the sky.

Correct. Adjust the Daylight Savings Time (Summer Time) option manually from with the SETUP. Go to Time Zone / DST and select GMT +1.00 for British Summer Time, as an example.

The iN-CAR CAM is obtaining the correct date and Time from the Satellite and this is always Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). If you are in a country which uses a different time zone, or need to set for Daylight Savings Time (Summer Time), adjust the option manually from with the SETUP. Go to Time Zone / DST and select GMT +1.00 for British Summer Time, as an example.

Please ensure that you have turned the iN-CAR CAM WiFi Mode on by either using the WiFi button or through the Settings Menu. When Wifi Mode is turned on the screen of the iN-CAR CAM will display the Network Name and Password. This password is case sensitive.

Please uninstall the NEXTBASE Cam Viewer app and re-download again from your devices App Store.

Ensure that the in-CAR CAM is in WiFi Mode and that your mobile device has connected to the iN-CAR CAM WiFi connection.

Please restart your mobile device and reconnect to the iN-CAR CAM WiFi connection. Then re-open the Cam Viewer App.

It is normal for the camera to feel warm during typical use, especially while it is recording high definition video or communicating via Wi-Fi.

Take the camera indoors and charge it for 90 minutes, does the problem persist? If not… the car power supply may be causing the issue.

Is a branded card that is compatible with loop recording being used? This issue can occur if a counterfeit, slow or unbranded SD card is being used.

Try multiple USB ports and an alternative mini USB cable (if possible), please ensure it is inserted into the USB port on the Dash Cam and not into the mount.

Reset the Dash Cam to the Default Settings within the Setup Menu and try again.

Should the problem persist call the UK helpline (02920) 866429 or call your local support centre found at www.nextbase.com Alternatively email: support@nextbase.com

WARRANTY

Limited Warranty

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other legal rights, which vary from state to state (or by country or province). NEXTBASE® does not exclude, limit or suspend other legal rights you may have under the laws of your state (or country or province). For a full understanding of your rights you should consult the laws of your state, country or province.

NEXTBASE® Liability extends to the cost of the Dash Cam alone. Any recordings which have not taken place or recoverable from the SD card for whatever reason are not covered by the product warranty. No liability for costs incurred due to corrupt, missing, erased video recordings will be accepted. No claims for additional costs outside the cost of the Dash Cam itself will be accepted.

NEXTBASE® products are warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for one year from the date of purchase. Within this period, NEXTBASE® will, at its sole option, repair or replace any components that fail in normal use. Such repairs or replacement will be made at no charge to the customer for parts or labour, provided that the customer shall be responsible for any transportation cost. This Limited Warranty does not apply to: (i) cosmetic damage, such as scratches, nicks and dents; (ii) consumable parts, such as batteries, unless product damage has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; (iii) damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, water, flood, fire, or other acts of nature or external causes; (iv) damage caused by service performed by anyone who is not an authorized service provider of NEXTBASE®; (v) damage to a product that has been modified or alterednwithout the written permission of NEXTBASE®, or (vi) damage to a product that has been connected to power and/or data cables that are not supplied by NEXTBASE®, or (vii) damage to a product that has been connected to 12Vdc directly, having cut off the Cigarette Lighter plug which contains the 12/24Vdc to 5Vdc adaptor. In addition, NEXTBASE® reserves the right to refuse warranty claims against products or services that are obtained and/or used in contravention of the laws of any country.

‘Warranty’

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the warranties and remedies contained in this limited warranty are exclusive and in lieu of, and NEXTBASE® expressly disclaims, all other warrantiesnand remedies, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including without limitation any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, statutory remedy or otherwise. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other legal rights, which vary from state to state and from country to country. If implied warranties cannot be disclaimed under the laws of your state or country, then such warranties are limited in duration to the duration of this limited warranty. Some states (and countries and provinces) do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

In no event shall NEXTBASE® be liable in a claim for breach of warranty for any incidental, special, indirect or consequential damages, whether resulting from the use, misuse or inability to use this product or from defects in the product. Some states (and countries and provinces) do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

WARRANTY (CONT.)

If during the warranty period you submit a claim for warranty service in accordance with this Limited Warranty, then NEXTBASE® will, at its option: (i) repair the device using new parts or previously used parts that satisfy NEXTBASE®'s quality standards, (ii) replace the device with a new device or a refurbished device that meets NEXTBASE®'s quality standards. Such remedy shall be your sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of warranty. Repaired or replaced devices have a 30 day warranty. If the unit sent in is still under its original warranty, then the new warranty is 30 days or to the end of the original 1 year warranty, whichever is longer.

Before seeking warranty service, please access and review the online help resources available on www.Nextbase®.com. If your device is still not functioning properly after making use of these resources, contact a NEXTBASE® Authorized service facility in the original country of purchase or follow the instructions on support at www.Nextbase®.com to obtain warranty service.

If you seek warranty service outside of the original country of purchase, NEXTBASE® cannot guarantee that the parts and products needed to repair or replace your product will be available due to differences in product offerings and applicable standards, laws and regulations. In that case, NEXTBASE® may, in its sole discretion and subject to applicable laws, repair or replace your product with comparable NEXTBASE® products and parts, or require you to ship your product to a NEXTBASE® Authorized service facility in the country of original purchase or to a NEXTBASE® Authorized service facility in another country that can service your product, in which case you will be responsible for complying with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and for paying all custom duties, V.A.T., shipping fees and other associated taxes and charges. In some cases, NEXTBASE® and its dealers may be unable to service your product in a country outside of the original country of purchase or return a repaired or replaced product to you in that country due to applicable standards, laws or regulations in that country.
