BUTTONS AND FUNCTIONS

INSTALLATION

Install the front camera at the top of the front windshield. Remove
any foreign matter and clean and dry the windshield before installation.
Install the rear camera at the top of the rear windshield.

1. Correctly connect the magnetic bracket and M572 dash cam through the strong magnetic attraction.
2. Insert the microSD card into the microSD slot of the dash cam and format your SD card for the first time use.
3. Stick the electrostatic film on your windshield, then stick the
   magnetic bracket on top of the electrostatic film.
4. Turn off the car engine.
5. Connect the charging cable to the Type-C port of the magnetic
   bracket. Use the pry tool to lift the edges of the windshield trim/
   molding and tuck in the power cord.
6. Adjust the angle of the lens by the bracket of the front camera. We
   recommend pointing the lens slightly downwards (~10° below
   horizontal), to record video with a 6:4 road to background ratio.
7. Turn on the engine. The dashcam will power up and start recording. Video files are stored on the microSD card. When the microSD card fills up, the newest video files will start to replace the oldest video files (called loop recording) – so you will always have the most recent video files.
8. Peel off the protective film from the double-sided tape and attach
   the rear camera to the rear windshield. Adjust the angle of the lens
   by rotating the body of the rear camera, and connecting the front camera and the rear camera.
9. Use the pry tool to lift the edges of the rubber window sealing and
   molding and tucking in the rear camera connection cable.
10. Plug the cigarette lighter power cable into the cigarette lighter
    socket and the front camera. Use the pry tool to lift the edges of
    the windshield trim/molding and tuck in the power cord.
    Note: The length of the original cable for the rear camera is 6m/20ft, suitable for most types of cars.

USING OMBAR DASH CAM

The camera is designed to power up and record automatically when it
receives power. Then saves the video record and turns off automatically
when the car shuts off.

1. Auto Power ON/OFF:
   1. Plug the car charger into the cigarette lighter socket.
      When the car engine is on, the dash cam will turn ON and start
      recording automatically.
      When the car key is turned to LOCK position, the dash cam
      automatically saves the recording and turns it OFF.
2. Manual Power ON/OF
   Manually Turn ON: Press the power button once.
   Manually Turn OFF: Press and hold the power button for at least 2
   seconds.

Note

1. Do not remove or insert the rear camera when the camera is powered on which may damage the camera. It is to improve stability that the dashcam reboots automatically once it detects that there are different cameras connected.
2. Please ALWAYS connect with power when using. As it is built-in
   supercapacitor (Only has a 1mAh lithium metal battery used to
   memorize time).
3. Some trucks/cars’s 12V cigarette outlet is always HOT, which means it provide constant power even when the car is turned off and locked. If this is the case for your vehicle, then the auto ON/OFF feature will not work. And if you leave the camera continuously recording when the car is turned off, then it will drain your car/truck’s battery and you might not have enough power to start your car for next time.
   To remedy this situation, you can do one of the two options:
   1. Hardwire your dash cam to your car’s fuse box with 3-lead auto
      trigger hardwire kit.
   2. Change the connection in the fuse box for your 12V outlet to a socket that only supplies power when the car key is turned to ACC or ON position.
