Depending on the country of use, recordings made with this device may be
subject to Data Protection Laws. Ensure these are complied with.
If the dash cam is to be used in a commercial environment e.g. taxi or truck, then
CCTV Regulations may apply.
Playback of video which is visible to the driver whilst the vehicle is in motion is

Take care when cleaning the dash cam lens and only use a suitable lens cleaner
and a soft cloth.

When installing in a vehicle, always place the device securely against the
windscreen and where possible conceal the power cable under the vehicles
interior trim. Make sure that the power cable doesn’t interfere with the driver’s
controls such as the steering wheel, pedals or gear lever.
