• Resolution: 

Setting a video resolution of footage recorded

2560 x 1600P 30fps; 2560 x 1440P 30fps;  2304 x 1296P 30fps; 
1920X1080P 60fps, 1920X1080P 30fps, 1280X720P 120fps, 

1280X720P 60fps, 1280X720P 30fps, are available for selection.

• Bitrate: 

You can set the bitrate for video. High bitrate may 

improve the quality and smoothness of the video, especially when 

recording fast motion or high contrast scenes. Using high bitrate 

mode may decrease the amount of recording time available on your 

memory card. Using a low bitrate will save space and record for a 

longer time.

• Loop Recording:

 

Off / 1 / 2 / 3 / 5 / 10 minutes.

• Video Format:

 

The options are . MP4 and . TS video format. TS 

format is better to avoid file corruption.

• Exposure: 

Adjust the value of the EV (Exposure Value) to obtain 

better recording results under different light sources. The range is 

from-up to +2.0. The default is set at 0.0.

• WDR (Wide Dynamic Range):

 

Dynamic range is the ratio of the 

brightest portion of the image to the darkest portion of the image. 

WDR enables the camera to deliver video with near perfect exposure 

in varying lighting situations.

• Parking Mode: 

There are 3 options under parking mode:

 Auto event detection:

      The camera will automatically record for 1 minute while a moving
object is detected during parking. And it will stop recording if there 

are no new movements.

 Time lapse recording: 

      Time-lapse record a video at low frames at 1 / 2 / 3 / 5 / 10 / 15 fps, 

It keeps recording continuously without audio recorded. 

 Low bitrate recording: 

      This mode record video in low bitrate 4MB/s for both front and 

rear. It keeps recording continuously in mini file size with audio 

recorded.
Note: We recommend to buy VIOFO HK3 ACC hardwire kit cable for 

parking mode recording.

• Enter Parking Mode Timer: 

Set the timer for entering parking 

mode.

• Parking Recording Timer: 

Set the parking recording duration.

• Parking G-sensor: 

The G-sensor detects 

significant 

or sudden 

movement (such as an impact or collision), it will trigger an event 

recording. We suggest setting it to High sensitivity in parking mode 

recording.

• Parking Motion Detection: 

Adjusts the sensitivity of the motion 

detection so minor motion caused by wind or rain doesn't trigger a 

recording while in parking mode.

• Time-lapse Recording: 

Record video from frames captured at 

specific time intervals to conserve memory and reduce the time it 

takes to review video. The default is off. 

• Motion Detection: 

When this feature is activated, a recording will 

begin if there is movement in front of the camera. Once the camera 

does not detect movement for 60 seconds, the recording will be 

stopped and the device will switch to detect mode. The device will 

record again if it will detect a new movement in front of the camera.

• GPS:

 Turns on / off GPS tracking. If disabled, your camera will no 

longer measure your speed and position nor synchronize the 

time/date with the atomic clock. (only available when connecting 

with GPS signal) Please use"Dashcam Viewer" to playback videos and 

to visualize your position and speed on your computer.

 

Connect the camera to a computer using a Mini USB cable.

 Device will automatically turn on and 

[                    ] 

will be  

      displayed.

 The computer will detect “removable disk”.

 There will be three folders under the DCIM folder:

       \ Movie ( Loop recording video files )
      \  RO ( Event recording files )
      \ Photo ( Video snapshot )

 Copy files are needed to computer drive.

 Download the latest firmware, unzip the file. Copy & paste or 

drag & drop the .bin file to the root of the Micro SD card. 

 Insert the Micro SD card into the camera’s card slot once the 

transfer is completed.

 Plug into a power source and then turn the camera ON. 

 LED indicator will start flashing to confirm the update’s 

progress.

 The camera will automatically reboot after the upgrade is 

completed.

accessing the ‘Version’ tab within the settings menu (last tab).

Note: 

• Before using a Micro SD card to upgrade the firmware, formatting 
the card in-camera is necessary to ensure stable read and write 
operation.
• Do not unplug or power-off the camera during a firmware upgrade, 
it may cause the camera to fail from booting.
