INTRODUCTION TO USING A DASH 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 Dash 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.
Typically a 16Gb card will store the last 2 hours of driving footage.
The Time and Date are automatically set upon the camera from satellite data, based on the Country
selected from within the first Time Use menu.
The Time and Date will also update automatically for Daylight Savings Time, again based on the
Country selected.
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 from the Wide Angle lens camera.
Playback mode: Allows you to view recorded video or photographs upon the Dash Cam LCD screen.
Press the MODE button on the Dash Cam to select required mode.
Automatic Start / Stop Technology. The Dash 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 Dash Cam will perform an automatic shutdown process.
1. Tips for capturing best video footage:
1.1 Position the Dash Cam in the centre of the windscreen and ideally behind the rear view mirror,
yet allowing the zoom lens clear view through the car and out of the rear windscreen.
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 Dash 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 Dash 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 Dash Cam before inserting or removing the SD memory card, to prevent the
chance of damage being caused to the memory card or the files stored upon it.
