Format Memory Card: Be careful, as all files, including locked ones, will be deleted. It is recommended to format the memory card when using it for the first time or when inserting a new card.

Loop Video Recording Setting: The camera continuously erases the oldest video as it records new video. Locked files are protected from being overwritten. In the settings menu, find “Loop Recording” and choose 1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes for the video loop duration. Choosing “OFF” will stop loop recording, which is not recommended.

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): This feature helps display dark and bright parts of a scene clearly. Options are On/Off.

Record Audio: Choose On to record video with audio. Choose Off to record video without sound.

G-sensor of DVR: Options are OFF/Low/Middle/High. The default is Middle. If an impact is detected, the video recording will be automatically locked. Do not choose OFF if you want to use the automatic video lock feature.

Time Zone: There are 25 settings available from GMT-12 to GMT+12. It is recommended to set your local time zone first, then set the system time.

Restore factory settings: Find “Default Setting” in the menu and select “ok” to restore the device to its original manufacturer settings.

Date Stamp: If set to “ON”, the video screen will have a watermark with system time, speed, latitude, longitude, and license plate number. Set to “OFF” for no watermark.

Version: This setting displays the current internal firmware version.

1. Install APP: Find “UCAM DASH CAM” on Google Play or the Apple Store and install it.

2. Connect WiFi: Connect to the device’s WiFi network. Find “TH001-xxxxxxx” in your phone’s WiFi list. This is the B2M WiFi Hotpoint. Enter the default password “12345678” to connect.

3. Access APP: Open the “UCAM” app and click “Please connect DVR” to connect to the B2M DVR. After the connection is successful, you can access the B2M through the smartphone.

Note: After connecting to the B2M WiFi Hotpoint, your smartphone may not be able to access the Internet. Please set the network data access authority to UCAM. If the WiFi connection is unstable, try setting the phone to airplane mode to reconnect.

Here are the basic operations within the UCAM app:

You can play back videos on your phone, a PC, or the DVR host itself.

Playback on phone:

Open the UCAM Dash Cam App and press the file button. You will find video files available for playback.

Playback on PC:

1. Remove the Micro SD card from the B2M DVR and connect it to a computer using a micro SD card reader.

2. Open a file browser and navigate to the SD card. You will find 3 folders:

• “MOVIE”: Contains normal loop recording video files.

• “RO”: Contains locked video files.

• “PHOTO”: Contains video snapshot files.

3. You can identify files by their name. For example, in “2021_0511_163812_001A.TS”:

• “2021_0511_163812” indicates the date and time.

• “A” is for front camera video files.

• “B” is for rear camera video files.

• “.TS” is the video file format.

Playback on DVR host:

In the stop recording state, short press the “MODE” button once to enter the Playback state. Select the video or photo you need to playback.

1. Locate mounting positions: Find proper places to fix the front & rear camera, wired controller, GPS tracker (optional), and DVR Unit. The DVR is recommended to be placed under the seat or in the top case for touring bikes.

2. Plan cable paths: Plan the path of camera and power cables before installation. Most bikes will require you to remove the fuel tank to properly run the cable for the front camera. The wired controller and GPS tracker cables may also need to run under the tank.

3. Fix and connect cameras: Fix and connect the front and rear cameras using your choice of 3M tape, screws, or cable ties in the proper viewing location. If using 3M tape, ensure the surface is properly cleaned. A topcoat paint product can limit the adhesion of the 3M tape.

4. Connect power: It is recommended to connect the supplied power adapter to the ignition or any point after it (e.g., fuse box, radio, lights) so the system starts and shuts down with your bike. Alternatively, you can connect it directly to the battery, but you must turn the unit off manually after rides to avoid draining the battery.

Important Note: The position of the DVR Unit and camera cables should be away from high-voltage circuits like a xenon lamp or ignition plug. If your motorcycle has a traditional carburetor system, try changing to a suitable R-value ignition plug.

Follow these steps to connect the hardwire kit:

1. Connect the Yellow wire to a positive 12V DC source that is always on (BAT+).

2. Connect the Red wire to a positive 12VDC source that is controlled by an ignition key, also known as an ACC port.

3. Connect the Black wire to a negative source, such as the battery terminal or a ground point on the bike’s frame (GND).

1. The waterproof level of the B2M DVR is IP65. It is recommended to put the DVR under the seat or in a storage compartment. If the DVR is installed on the handlebar, it is not recommended to drive on rainy days. If needed, use a plastic bag to cover the unit for added water protection.

2. The Lens wiring should be far away from strong electricity and strong magnetism, such as an engine, to avoid interference.

3. The GPS module should be installed outside the motorcycle in order to receive good GPS signals.

This issue can have two causes:

Solution 1: No MicroSD card is installed in the DVR Unit. Please install an approved MicroSD card.

Solution 2: A bad MicroSD card is installed. Please try another card.

Please try the following solutions:

Solution 1: Verify that you are connected to the correct wireless network (TH1-xxxxxx).

Solution 2: Close the App on the phone, reconnect to the wireless network, and then open the App again.

Solution 3: Power off the DVR Unit, close the App, and power off your phone. Then, power on the DVR Unit, power on your phone, connect to the wireless network (TH1-xxxxxx), and open the UCAM Dash Cam App.

Solution 1: Disconnect the power and restart the B2M DVR.

Solution 1: If it happens occasionally, it is normal. You should check that each connection part is secure.

Solution 2: If there are many occurrences and it continues for a long period of time, please contact customer support for warranty service.

1. Please use the supplied power adapter only.

2. Never disassemble or attempt repair of this product. Doing so may damage the DVR Unit, cause electronic shock, and void your product warranty.

3. Never short-circuit the battery.

4. Exposing the DVR Unit to open flames can cause an explosion.

5. Due to local laws and vehicle safety considerations, do not operate the device using the UCAM Dash Cam App while moving.
