  • Clean the Windshield area where the Dashcam is to be installed
  • Remove the Protective Film from the Double Sided Adhesive and attach it on the windshield such that the view of the Driver is not blocked and proper view of the Front in correct orientation is present
  • Remove and then re-attach the USB Cable with the Dashcam and with the help of Installation Tool/Pry tool you can tuck In the Cable properly by lifting the Windshield/ molding . Re-Connect it with the Power Adaptor and insert the adaptor into car charger socket.
How to connect the Dashcam with the App?

When you launch the App, you will have to first install the Dashcam. For this, please follow the On-Screen instructions. The Dashcam creates a Wi-Fi hotspot which then automatically connects with the App. If it is not getting connected, then please enter the default password 12345678 from your Wi-Fi settings to connect.

Does the Dashcam needs constant Internet connection to work?
No. The dashcam needs Internet only in the below mentioned scenarios-
  • During the Installation process because we need to link your account with the Dashcam on our Cloud
  • If you change some settings and want it to sync with other devices.
  • If you want to remove the Device from your account.
How to physically remove the Dashcam from the Car?

To remove the Device from the Car, you have two options-

  • First, you strongly pull the Device from the Adhesive which is stuck on the Windscreen. In this case the device will be removed but the Adhesive will still be present on the Windscreen
  • Second, you remove the Adhesive too. In this case you need to strongly pull the Adhesive from one end and keep pulling till it is removed.
Is It mandatory to install it in the car only?

Though it is not mandatory but we recommend you to install the dashcam while in the car only. The dashcam needs a power source to connect to start functioning, if you can provide that while away from the car then it is good to go. But it should be more than 12 V.

Which type of USB Cable does the dashcam supports?

The Dashcam supports Mini USB Cable

How much is the warranty of the Mini USB Cable?

Mini USB Cable comes with six-months warranty

The Dashcam is not getting auto connected ?

Please check if the Dashcam is powered on. In some cases it takes a bit more time than usual. If it still doesn’t connect please reboot the Device and try again.

My car aesthetics will suffer if I hang the wiring in the car. How to conceal the wiring?

You can use the Pry tool to tuck in the cable. Ensure the Cables are routed behind heading of the vehicle, then behind the weather seal of the door, then route car power cable from inside the Glove Box. This way your complete wiring will be concealed.

My Dashcam does not connect with the App when my phone is connected with Apple Car Play/ Android Auto

Wireless Apple Car Play/ Android Auto also connect to your phone through a wifi hotspot. Hence, please disconnect them temporarily while connecting your phone to dashcam to set up or view/ download videos from the dashcam. Please note that your dashcam records when the car’s ignition is on even if your phone is not connected to the dashcam.

When I have my App connected with the Dashcam why does my Phone Internet stops working?

Generally, in case of Android, the phone automatically switches to Mobile Data if the Wi-Fi is not having any internet or it will prompt you to switch. But in slightly older phone you might face this issue. Thus in that case you can disconnect your Wi-Fi so that the Mobile Data starts working. Please note that your dashcam records when the car’s ignition is on even if your phone is not connected to the dashcam.

How does the Dashcam records?

The Dashcam needs a Micro SD Card to record videos. It automatically records continuously and the same can be accessed with the help of Timeline Scrubber. Additionally it also generates certain events based on activity and that can be accessed by the Events Log available under Events Tab. Also Trip based recordings can be accessed from Trips tab. It also allows you to download all the recordings which are done but the clip length will be 1 minute only.

Is the Dashcam active while in parking also?

The Dashcam remains active for 1 minute post the Car Ignition is Off. If you want to record while the Car is Off i.e. in Parking, you will need to separately buy a Hardwiring Kit.

Can I view the events and recording while I am out of my Car?

No you can’t . The App displays all the events and recordings when you are connected with the Dashcam through the Wi-Fi Hotspot. Once the Wi-Fi Hotspot connection is lost you will be able to check only the Downloaded Clips.

Can I view the real-time videos and recording remotely?

No you can’t. You can only access the downloaded videos. To access real-time videos you will need to be connected to the Dashcam with the Wi-Fi hotspot created by the Dashcam.

My family member is right now in the car and connected with the Dashcam. Can I access the live feed and recordings sitting at home by using the same credentials?

No you can’t. You need your phone to be connected to the Wi-Fi Hotspot created by the Dashcam to check the Feed and recordings even if you use the same credentials

Why do few of my past recordings are having Different Timestamps than the correct time at that moment?

To maintain the correct timestamp for your videos, we have installed a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This battery ensures that after the ignition of your car is stopped the clock on Dashcam gets power. This battery has a standby time of 3 days. If you do not start your car for 3 days in a row, this battery gets drained off, or initially when you receive the Device the battery is drained off. In this state the Dashcam has no reference to the time stamp and recordings done will have the wrong timestamp. To ensure that you get the correct date and time stamp, please reconnect your Dashcam to the app. Once reconnected with the App, the Dashcam will auto-update the Timestamp to the current time in all future videos.

The Dashcam sometimes announces "GPS Signal is lost". What does this mean and when does it get the Signal back?

The Dashcam might lose the GPS Signal momentarily because of some network issues or when inside a building. But rest assured, this is only momentarily and it gets back soon. It does not announce this but there is a beep sound which indicates it is working again.

GPS Related
What is the difference between Dashcam Pro and Dashcam Pro GPS?

In GPS Version there is an added benefit of GPS Logging which helps in tracking different parameters related to it like Speed, Distance, Compass and Elevation from Sea Level.

What is difference between GPS Logging and GPS Tracking?

In GPS Tracking User can track the device in real time even when not connected with it (i.e. When sitting Far Away from the Dashcam in this case) however in case of GPS Logging, The Device logs all the GPS Points and shares the Data in Form of a Map when connected with the Device to help understand the Location traced and parameters like Speed, Distance, Compass and Elevation from Sea Level

My Actual Speed and the Speed detected by the App is different. Why?

The Device fetches the location after a few seconds which takes time to sync. Thus there is a chance that the Speed shown and the actual speed is different but the difference is only +/- 5 kmph or less

The App sometimes doesn’t show the location accurately or doesn’t pick the Location exactly. Why?

The Device has a GPS chip which keeps on capturing the GPS location. But sometimes in some location the GPS is not able to capture the location coordinates and thus it might share the location of the spot which was last captured by the Device. This will get auto updated as soon as the Device gets new GPS points. Device will also prompt “GPS Signal Lost” in case there is no GPS Signal

When inside a Building or in a basement, the Map on the App doesn’t work properly? Why?

The GPS captures data points from the Surroundings. When inside a building the GPS is not able to detect the location properly due to wall hindrances and thus a little discrepancy in the Map location is possible. Rest of the Parameters will work fine as long as GPS is working in that location.

Can I view the location of my Car when I am not sitting in the Car?

This Device is not a GPS Tracker but a GPS Logger. So you cannot view your location or the Video Feed when you are distant and not connected with the App. You have to connect to the Device to see the location.

When downloading a clip, it is not downloading the Map associated with it?

No this functionality is not available as of now. You can only download the Video Clip.

What is Over Speed Alert?

Over Speed Alert is an alert notified by the Device when the Speed of the Device crossed the Set level. In this case, the Device will give a sound alert and also create an Event Notification for the same. Default Over Speed limit is 80 kmph.

Storage Related
Is SD Card mandatory to use Dashcam?

Yes. The dashcam stores all the recording in the SD Card only. You can only view Live feed without the SD Card but then no event will get generated. We recommend you to use a SD Card for better experience.

How much SD Card size does it support?

It supports up to 256 GB of SD Card

How will it record new videos once my SD Card gets full?

The Device works on the functionality called FIFO which is First In First Out, Thus the recordings which were saved first will get auto deleted and new recording will take its place.

Will the Critical videos get over written if my SD Card gets full?

No. The Critical recordings also called as Emergency recordings which are created as Jolt Detected do not get over written under FIFO policy. They will always be saved on your device and only other recordings are impacted. Under settings option, there is an option “Emergency Limit” from which you can select the number of Emergency Recordings you would like to keep. And if it gets full then it will follow the FIFO rule for Emergency recording.

My SD card is not working; SD card is not supportive?

On Application there is an option for format SD card, please format your SD Card.

Which all SD Cards are recommended to be used with the Device?

Our Dashcam supports Class 10 or above SD Card available in the market but we suggest purchasing recommended Class 10 Micro SD Cards Only (32 GB, 64 GB, 128 GB, 256 GB)
