Using your dash cam in a vehicle
Note:
l
To ensure the highest quality recordings, you are advised to place the dash cam near the rear-view mirror.
l
Select an appropriate location for mounting the device in a vehicle. Never place the device where the driver’s
field of vision is blocked.
l
If the car’s windscreen is tinted with a reflective coating, it may be athermic and impact the GPS reception. In this
instance, please mount your device where there is a “clear area.”
l
The system will automatically calibrate the G sensor of the device during start-up. To avoid G sensor malfunction,
always turn the device on AFTER you mount it in the vehicle properly.
l
The Mivue dash cam is designed to stay connected with the vehicle power adapter to ensure optimal
performance. The battery is designed as a backup power source for short term use only in the event when the
vehicles power system is cut out during an incident so the dash cam can save the last recording. It is not to be
used as sole source of power for prolonged periods.
Make sure that your car is parked on level ground. Follow the instructions to securely mount your dash cam and rear
camera into a vehicle.
1. Mount the dash cam.
2. Mount the rear camera.

l
You are advised to turn the device off before removing the memory card.
Operating basics
Turning the dash cam on
Complete the installation according to the instructions in the “Using your dash cam in a vehicle” section. Once the
vehicle engine is started, the dash cam automatically turns on.
Occasionally you may need to perform a hardware reset when the dash
cam stops responding or if it appears to be “frozen” or unresponsive. If you
cannot turn the dash cam off by using the Power button, insert a small rod
(such as a straightened paper clip) into the Shutdown button to shut down
the dash cam.

Recording in driving mode
Continuous recording
By default, the system will automatically begin with continuous recording in a few seconds after start-up. The
recording may be divided into several video clips; recording will not stop between video clips. When your memory
card fills up with continuous recordings in the "Video" category, it will automatically record over the oldest existing
files in this category.
When continuous recording is in progress, you can manually stop recording by pressing
. Press
to return
to the recording screen; the system will start continuous recording automatically.
The continuous recordings can be found in the “Video” category for file playback.
Event recording
By default, if an event happens such as a sudden impact, high speed driving, an aggressive turn or an accidental crash
during continuous recording, the G sensor will prompt the dash cam to start recording the event.
The dash cam will automatically save any video 10 seconds prior to the activation of the sensor and continue to
record for another 10 seconds post activation in a 20 second video file which will be saved to the "Event" category
on your microSD card. However, if another event is triggered during this time, it will continue to record for another
10 seconds and can trigger more events to continuing recording a further 10 seconds up to a 1 minute video file.
Recordings stored in the "Event" category are separate to the "Video" category.
Note:
You can change the sensitivity level of the G sensor by selecting
> Video Recording > G-Sensor
Sensitivity.
If you want to manually start an event recording while continuous recording is in progress, press the Event button on the
device.
The event recordings can be found in the “Event” category for file playback.
Recording in Parking mode
Your dash cam supports the parking recording function. Your dash cam will require an additional power source (such as
an uninterruptible power cable or Smartbox accessory which is sold separately. Visit www.navman.com.au to purchase
this accessory.) to record the video during Parking mode. The dash cam cannot operate the Parking Mode feature on the
internal battery power.
The Parking mode function is disabled by default. You can enable the function by selecting
> Parking Mode
> Detection > On
. Before enabling Park mode, please check your device memory storage allocation. Go to
>
System > Storage Allocation
to set a proper allocation for parking recording. Changing the allocation will erase the
memory card, so save any videos or photos to your computer first.
When the Parking mode detection is enabled, the system will enter Parking mode when you:
l
Disconnect the device's power (when the vehicle engine is stopped or the power cable is disconnected) or when the
car stops moving for about 5 minutes.
Note:
The feature is triggered by the G sensor of the device. You can change the configuration by selecting
> Parking Mode > Auto Entry.
l
Press
to manually start Parking mode while continuous recording is in progress.
