Impact-triggered monitoring.
The manual describes a short protected recording after a detected impact while parked. Battery-powered monitoring needs sufficient charge; a compatible smart hardwire kit is another option.
Parking Monitoring: OnKeep time-lapse separate.
Turn time-lapse off for parking monitoring. The manual also says not to use time-lapse while driving.
Check both settingsIf a hardwired camera stops receiving power.
A kit with low-voltage protection may cut power when its threshold is reached. Note whether the camera works with its supplied car charger, and send support the kit label and wiring details. Confirm the exact kit before changing cutoff settings.
Calibration comes first.
ADAS uses the front view; BSD uses the rear view. They cannot operate simultaneously. Follow the manual’s calibration instructions after adjusting camera placement.
After moving the camera.
Recheck the view and calibration. Use the diagrams in the M2 manual to position the lines and warning areas.
Open calibration diagrams ↗Stay responsible for the view.
These alerts assist the driver. Check mirrors, surroundings and traffic yourself, and do not rely on an alert as permission to change lanes.
A clear description.
A useful next step.
Include your model label, firmware, power setup and card details.
Which card capacity should I choose?
Start with the limit in the linked M2 manual. Ask support to verify compatibility with your camera and firmware before choosing a larger card; the older FAQ and manual disagree.
Why is the screen dark?
Check whether the camera is powered and whether recordings were saved. Try toggling the backlight. Tell support whether the issue affects only the screen or the entire device.
Why does parked recording not work?
Check the parking and time-lapse settings above, then confirm the power setup. Send support a photo of any hardwire kit label and describe what happens when the engine turns off.
Where are my rear or protected recordings?
Use the file groups listed in Playback above. Preserve the original card and report which camera view and time period are missing.
Can I use a guide for M2 Max or M2-4?
Use the complete model name on the device label. Those are separate products, and their instructions or accessories may differ.
How do I choose the right firmware?
Use the firmware lookup below or contact support with your label and current version. Do not update based only on a similar model name.
