In either case, any files that one would like to keep should be backed up first
by connecting the camera to a computer and copied over. See Formatting
section for additional details.
3. Battery-related
: This dash camera will operate properly when direct power is
connected to the power port on the top of the camera. Battery life and life
expectancy is not a concern and the camera will continue recording.
If attempting to record Manually and the power has died, the battery is not fully
charged. The camera will record for up to 10-15 minutes depending on
usage, less, specifically, if taking pictures in Photo Mode. The battery should
be re-charged by plugging the Vehicle Power Cable into the power port at the
top of the camera. A red LED light will glow on the left side of the camera
(when facing the viewscreen; top-most LED with the battery icon next to it).
The battery is fully charged when the red light is no longer lit.
Portable, external power packs may be used to charge the dash camera
through the power port at the top of the camera to record or take photos;
alternatively, the battery can be charged through the USB port at the top of the
camera (the same used for power with the Vehicle Power Cable). However,
use of external power packs may void the camera warranty.
For additional details or troubleshooting, see Battery/ExternalPower (portable
power) section of this guide.
2. Can the dash camera be removed from the vehicle and record manually or
to take photos?
Answer:
Yes. The camera can be removed by unplugging the Vehicle Power
Cable and sliding the camera off of the windshield plate. Without a direct
power source, the camera will, by default, turn off after a few seconds. The
camera can be turned on at any moment. Once turned on, facing the
viewscreen, Manual Recording can be done by pressing the OK (upper-left)
button. The camera will record for up to 10-15 minutes depending on usage
or less if taking pictures in Photo Mode.
See the Battery-External Power-Related section (Question 2) for details
regarding battery life.
