Volt set: Options are 11.5V | 11.7V | 11.9V | 12.1V | 12.3V | 12.5V (Default: 11.5V). This provides voltage protection to prevent the camera from excessively consuming power and causing the motorcycle battery to fail. When the battery voltage is lower than the set value, the parking mode is automatically turned off.

Voice: Set touch sound ON/OFF and volume.

Format SD: Formats the microSD card. Warning: This operation will delete all existing data on the micro SD card, including locked files and normal looping recording files. Make sure you back up any important files first.

Clock Settings: Set system date and time. Note: If you have a GPS module, the GPS will set the time, but you must still set the local time zone correctly. Otherwise, the GPS module will continuously set the wrong time.

Reset Setup: This setting restores the device to its original manufacturer settings.

Language: Sets the on-screen display language to English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, or Simplified Chinese.

FW Version: This setting displays the current internal firmware version.

LCD Save: Options are OFF | 1 min | 3min. The LCD screen displays the screensaver view if not used for this time period. If set to Off, the LCD screen will always be on. Using the screensaver view can avoid distracting the driver, especially at night.

Safe Mode: Options are Speed | Time | OFF. Set the maximum riding speed and time. A warning will be issued if the set value is exceeded. Speed settings: OFF | 60km/h | 80km/h | 100km/h | 120km/h | 130km/h. Time settings: OFF | 1h | 2h | 3h | 4h.

Protect Level: Options are Off | Low | Middle | High Sensitivity (Default: Middle). The G-sensor measures shock forces and locks the current video file automatically when the set threshold is exceeded. “Low” to “high” determines the amount of force needed to lock the file. Note: Locked files must be manually deleted periodically.

Sound Record: Options are On | Off. Turns the microphone on or off (Mute).

Movie Clip: Options are 1min | 2min | 3min | 5min | 10min. Selects the loop recording file length. Once the microSD card is full, the camera automatically replaces the oldest files with new files. Locked files are protected and will not be replaced.

Rear Mirror: Options are On/Off (this only affects the rear camera). Default value is off.

Auto-Rec: ON | OFF. If ON, the device will automatically return to the home page and start recording if the screen is not operated within 30 seconds. If OFF, it will stay on the current page.

SOS Cycle: ON | OFF. The SD card storage is allocated as 69% for normal videos, 30% for emergency videos, and 1% for pictures. If ON, when the emergency video storage is full, the newest emergency file will overwrite the oldest one. If OFF, recording will stop when the emergency video storage is full.

Parking Monitor: ON | OFF. If set to “ON”, when an impact is detected by the G-sensor, the camera will automatically start video recording to record the incident.

GPS: ON | OFF. Turns the GPS logging on or off. A GPS module records location and speed data. If disabled, the camera will not measure speed, position, or synchronize the time.

Wi-Fi CARCAM: ON | OFF. Turns the Wi-Fi function on or off.

Flicker: 50HZ | 60HZ. This should be set according to the power supply specifications in your region. For example, US users should select 60HZ.

Time Zone: Sets the time zone. There are thirty-three available settings from -12:00 to +13:00.

Speed Mode: Km/h | Mph. Sets the measurement units for the vehicle speed overlay on the recorded video.

1. Please use the supplied power adapter and USB Power cable 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 Dash Cam App while moving.

6. Please read the user manual carefully before operation.

1. Insert a memory card (minimum 16GB – maximum 256GB) into the DVR Unit.

2. Connect cameras A & B to the DVR Unit, being sure to match the arrows and not force the connectors.

3. Use the provided USB cable to connect the DVR Unit to a power source, such as a 5V USB phone charger or a USB power bank. (Do not plug into a computer.)

4. The camera should start video recording a few seconds after the power is connected, and its screen will show the output from both cameras.

5. If necessary, format the microSD card so recording can start. This can be done using the dash camera menu.

• Connect the Red wire to a positive 12VDC source that is always on.

• Connect the White wire to a positive 12VDC source that is controlled by the ignition key (also known as the ACC port).

• Connect the Black wire to the negative source, battery, or ground on the bike.

1. Locate the proper place to fix the front & rear camera, wired controller, GPS tracker (optional), and DVR Unit.

2. Plan the path of the camera cables and power cable 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, so plan mounting locations before reinstalling the fuel tank.

3. Fix and connect the front and rear cameras using your method of choice (3M tape, screws, cable ties) in the proper viewing location. Note: If you plan on using 3M tape, properly clean the surface. Using a top coat paint product can limit the ability of the 3M tape to adhere properly.

4. Connect the supplied power adapter.

It is recommended that the supplied power adapter be connected to the ignition, fuse box, radio, or lights so the system starts up and shuts down with your bike. Alternatively, it can be connected to your battery, but you will need to manually turn the unit off after rides to avoid draining the battery.

The position of the DVR Unit and camera cables should be away from high-voltage circuits like a xenon lamp, ignition plug, etc. If your motorcycle uses a traditional carburetor system, please try to change to a suitable R-value ignition plug.

Loosen the lens cap, and while viewing the screen on the RoadCam App on your phone, rotate the lens body to adjust the horizontal view angle.

There are two main installation methods:

Method 1: The DVR unit is installed in the front position (e.g., on the handlebars). In this method, the front camera cable is 1 meter, and the rear camera cable is 3 meters.

Method 2: The DVR unit is installed under the seat or in a storage compartment. In this method, the front camera cable is 2 meters, and the rear camera cable is 2 meters.

The DVR unit can be installed using the supplied Adapter and Handlebar Bracket, or with velcro.

Solution 1: This may indicate that no MicroSD card is installed in the DVR Unit. Install an approved MicroSD card.

Solution 2: A bad MicroSD card may be installed. Try another card.

Solution 1: Verify that you are connected to the wireless network (NPD_CarDV_WiFi).

Solution 2: Close the App on the phone, connect 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 (NPD_CarDV_WiFi), and open the RoadCAM App.
