Power cable
2.3.5.2 Obtain Connection Modes
In order to ensure correct cable connection, it is necessary to obtain the connection mode of the main
power switch through three methods.
Ask the vehicle manufacture the connection modes of the main power switch of the vehicle.
Measure with a multimeter: disconnect the main switch, then measure the voltage between the
vehicle body and the positive pole of the vehicle battery. If the voltage is 12V or 24V, it means that
the main switch disconnects the positive pole. If the voltage is 0V, then the main switch
disconnects the negative pole.
Visual inspection: whether the switch cable near the vehicle battery is connected to the positive
pole or the negative pole.
2.3.5.3 Connecting Operation
The camera must be connected to the ground wire, ACC signal, and constant electricity.
Enable the main power switch on the vehicle, place the key in the OFF state, and then measure
the normal live electricity of the vehicle.
Use a multimeter to measure the voltage on the fuse by switching to the DC voltage range.
When the multimeter detects voltage, it measures the normal live electricity on the vehicle.
Generally, the voltage is 24V DC for large vehicles and 12V DC for small vehicles. However, this
is subject to actual data.
When the vehicle key is placed at the ACC state or the ON state, the ACC signal of the vehicle
is measured.
User’s Manual
12
Use a multimeter to measure the voltage on the fuse by switching to the DC voltage range.
When the multimeter detects voltage, remove the car key. If the voltage changes to 0V, it
means that the measured signal is ACC on the car.

Storage Capacity Calculation
When the device is installed for the first time, make sure the HDD (or TF card) is installed.
Capacity calculation formula:
Total capacity (M) = Channel quantity × Demand time length (hour) × storage capacity occupied per
hour (M/hour)
Recording time calculation formula:
Recording time (hour) = Total capacity (M)
Storage capacity occupied per hour (M/hour) × Channel quantity
The device adopts H.264/H.265 compression technology, which features a large dynamic range.
Therefore, when calculating HDD capacity, you should accord to the bit rate to evaluate the file size
generated per hour from each channel.

purchasing substitute goods or services, property loss, personal injury, business discontinuity,
commercial information loss, or any special, direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, economic,
covering, or punitive damages caused by using or not able to use this product or service,
regardless of on which liability theory (contract, tort, fault, or others) these damages are based,
even if we, our employees, licensors, or affiliated companies have been advised of the possibility
of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on liabilities for personal injuries,
incidental or consequential damages. If you are in one of these jurisdictions, these limitations
might not apply to you.
Our total compensation for all your damages is limited to the amount you paid for buying our
products or services, except where relevant laws apply if our negligence has caused personal
injuries or deaths.
Recommendations
Mandatory actions to be taken for cyber security:
1. Use a strong password
Refer to the following recommendations for setting up the password:
The length should not be less than 8 characters
A strong password is comprised of at least two of these three character types: letters in upper
and lower cases, numbers, and special characters.
Do not contain the user name in its forward or reverse sequence.
Do not use continuous characters, such as 123 and abc.
Do not use repeated characters, such as 111 and aaa.
2. Timely update firmware and client software
As is standard procedure in the tech-industry, the firmware of devices should be timely
updated to the latest version to ensure the system is current with the latest security patches
and fixes. With the device connected into Internet, it is recommended to turn on automatic
online update detection to timely get firmware updates launched by providers.
You are recommended to download and use the latest client software.
User’s Manual

Recommended measures to enhance cybersecurity:
1. Physical protection
Physical protection is recommended for devices (especially storage devices), such as placing
them in a special room, special cabinet, and well conduct access control and key control to
prevent damages to hardware and external devices (U disk, serial ports) by unauthorized
persons through physical contact.
2. Change Passwords Regularly
Regularly change the passwords to your devices to help ensure that only authorized users are
able to access the system.
3. Timely set up and update password resetting information
This device supports password reset. To reduce the risk of this function being attacked by
hackers, it is recommended to timely set up password reset, including reserved phone
number/email, and security questions. If any of such information changes, update the password
reset in time. When setting up security questions, set up an answer that is difficult for someone
to guess their way into your system.
4. Enable account lock-down
Account lock-down is enabled by default. To keep your Account safe, it is recommended to keep
this setting. After hackers fail multiple attempts to hack passwords, the corresponding Account
and source IPs are locked.
5. Change HTTP and other default service ports
These ports can be changed to any set of numbers between 1024-65535. Avoiding the default
ports reduces the risk of hackers being able to guess which ports you are using.
6. Enable HTTPS
Enable HTTPS to access Web services through safe channels.
7. Bind MAC Address
Bind the IP and MAC address of the gateway device to reduce the risk of ARP deception.
8. Reasonably allocate account and permission
Add users properly according to business and management needs, and allocate minimum sets
of permissions to them.
9. Turn off Unnecessary Services and Use Safe Modes
If not needed, SNMP, SMTP and UPnP can be turned off to reduce the risks for the device.
If necessary, it is strongly recommended to use safe modes, including but not limited to:
SNMP: Select SNMP v3 and set a stronger encryption password and authentication password.
SMTP: Select TLS to access to the email server.
FTP: Select SFTP and set a strong password.
AP hotspot: Select WPA2-PSK encryption mode and set a strong password.
10. Audio and Video Encrypted Transmission
If your audio/video data includes important or sensitive contents, use encrypted transmission to
make it more difficult for someone to steal your data.
11. Security Audit
Review online users: Do this from time to time to find out illegal login, if any.
Review device log: This gives you the IP data of a device trying to login and the critical
operation information of users already in the login status.
12. Network Log
User’s Manual
105
Limited storage capacity of the device cannot store many logs for a long time. If you need to
save logs for long, enable online log to ensure key logs are synced to the online log server for
easy back tracking.
13. Building Safe Network Environment
To keep the device safer and reduce network risks, we recommend you to:
Turn off the port mapping of the router to prevent external networks from directly accessing
services of router intranet devices.
Divide network into different partitions as needed: If two subnetworks do not have to
establish communications, use VLAN or gatekeeper for network division.
Build up the 802.1x access authentication to reduce the risk of illegal terminals connecting
with your private networks.
Enable device IP/MAC address filtering to limit the hosts that can access the device.
