Problem
Solution
No power to my Dash Cam but it works upon my computer.
The cigarette power cable is not working. Inspect the fuse in the Car Power Cable plug. Replacement fuse = 2A 32mm type. If the fuse is found to be blown, inspect the power cable for damage which may have caused the fuse to blow.
Video Image is blurred.
Remove the protective lens cover, clean the lens, make sure the windshield is clean and clear of grease, dirt, and debris. Ensure that the Polarising Filter has been set properly if you have one attached.
MicroSD cards are very small and require delicate use. Align the card with the diagram shown upon the Dash Cam and insert the card until you feel a slight spring resistance. You now need to
push the card, using your finger nail until you hear and feel a small click. Release pressure and the card will stay retained within the Dash Cam. If you are having difficulty, use the edge of a small coin.
With the card installed, using your fingernail, you now need to push the card further inwards slightly, until you hear and feel a small click. If you are having difficulty, use the edge of a small coin.

The video files from the Dash Cam are in .MP4 format and may not be compatible with your PC if suitable playback software is not installed.
Video Files cannot be played on my computer.
Video File playback is jumpy.
Remove the SD card and format to remove non-contiguous files. For best recording use a Nextbase branded U3 micro SD card of 8 to 128GB recommended size. PC may not be sufficient for the playback task,
try a different PC. Copy the recorded video files onto the PC / Mac for playback directly rather than use the Dash Cam as a card reader, as the USB system on your PC may be too slow for HD video playback.
Photograph is blurred.
Make sure the Dash Cam is still while taking the photo. The Dash Cam has a minimum focal range of around 2 meters. Objects closer than this are likely to become blurred.
I can only record a few minutes of video on my MicroSD card.
Check the storage capacity of the SD Card. if necessary, format the SD Card to clear all files, backing up and files you might want. If problems persist, try a new SD card, or increase the size of the MicroSD card. Max 128GB.
Access Files does not work.
The Access Files function will work on both Windows and Mac. Restart the PC, as this may be required for the necessary driver to be loaded correctly. Disconnect and reconnect the Dash Cam. Be aware that you
cannot transfer files to the Dash Cam in ‘Access Files’. Files can be transferred to the SD Card using an SD Card reader.
I cannot save files to the memory card when the Dash Cam is
connected to my computer under ‘Access Files’.
Correct, the Dash Cam is a ‘read-only’ device. It is not recommenced to save files from other sources to the same memory that you will use for recording within the Dash Cam,
as these may have a negative effect on the performance of the Dash Cam.
Either the battery has gone flat, there is no power to the Dash Cam and the Auto Power Off period has been triggered or Parking Mode has been turned on and no vehicle movement has been detected for 5 minutes.
My Dash Cam shuts down by itself after a while.
I can’t delete files on my SD card within the Dash Cam.
Check to see if these files are ‘protected’. If so please follow instructions to ‘un-protect’.
I have turned on ‘Parking Mode’ and now can’t stop the recording.
Reset the Dash Cam to the default settings within the Setup Menu and try again.

The battery will not charge.
Ensure the Dash Cam is connected to a reliable power source and that the supplied Car Power Cable is being used, with the blue LED lit.
The battery will only receive charge when the Dash Cam is connected to a power source. Charging takes approximately 2 hours and a full charge is indicated when the blue LED on the Dash Cam goes out.
