GENERAL SETTINGS 

Video Resolution: 

Allows you to select the desired video resolution for loop recordings and emergency videos. 

Lower resolution settings result in smaller file sizes, which results in more space on the SD card. 

 

Loop Clip Time: 

Loop recordings and emergency videos can be saved in 1 min, 2 min, or 3 min clips depending on 

your preference. Smaller (1 min) files are easier to transfer to your phone and share. 

 

Wi-Fi: 

Allows enabling/disabling WiFi connection on the device and viewing the camera’s WiFi name 

and password. 

 

GPS: 

GPS can be disabled if needed. Enabling this setting allows your recordings to have an exact GPS 

location stamped on the footage. This also always allows you to know the location of your 

vehicle if the camera is wired via a hardwire kit and connected to a WiFi hotspot is installed in 

the car. 

 

Bluetooth: 

Allows you to disable Bluetooth if needed. Bluetooth is enabled by default.  Note: The camera 

will not be able to connect to the Drive Smarter App if Bluetooth is disabled. 

 

Display: 

Setting allows you to choose the feeds that are displayed on the screen while the camera is 

powered. Choose Front view, cabin view, or Picture in Picture (Front View and Cabin View

 

Date/Time:

 

 

Enable “Automatic” mode to have date / time settings based on the camera’s GPS signal. 

Having the correct date and time ensures that timestamps associated with your videos 

are accurate.  In this mode, you will still have to ensure that you have picked the correct 

“Time Zone” and enabled or disabled “Daylight Savings” based on your location.   

 

To manually set the date and time, cursor down to “Manual”, and select it.  You will now 

be able to enter Date and Time information. 

 

Voice Commands: 

Voice Commands can be toggled on/off in this setting. 

 

Microphone: 

Microphone can be enabled or disabled via settings or on the main screen. When disabled your 

recorded videos will be silent. Voice Commands are not affected by turning off the microphone. 

 

Motion Detection: 

Enabling Motion Detection allows your camera to monitor movement around the camera 

(changes in light) which can be used to record any suspicious activity around the vehicle when 

parked. This setting screen allows you to choose which of the available cameras should be used
