Prepare for the first drive.
Mount behind the mirror
Clean and dry the windshield. Apply the electrostatic sticker, attach the adhesive mount with the correct orientation and adjust the lens without obstructing your view.
Insert the memory card
The linked V1 Basic guide supports Class 10 / U3-rated microSD up to 256GB. Power off before inserting or removing the card.
Format in the camera
Connect the supplied power cable, press REC to stop recording, then MENU twice for System Settings. Use REC/MIC to select Format and OK to confirm. Formatting erases files; back up first.
Review footage. Keep a copy.
Play on the camera
Stop recording with REC, use MODE to enter Playback, browse with REC/MIC and press OK to play. OK pauses, MIC fast-forwards and REC rewinds during playback.
Use a card reader
Stop recording and power off before removing the microSD card. Open it with a computer card reader and copy important videos to separate storage.
Connect by data cable
Use a USB-to-Mini-USB data cable. When the camera powers up, press OK to select Mass Storage and open the video folder on the removable drive.
Match the power kit to the mode.
Vibration detection
Use the compatible Smart Hardwire Kit, sold separately. It supplies parked power and allows automatic switching between driving and parking recording. The guide recommends High Gravity Sensing for parking events.
Motion detection
Use the compatible Rexing Intelligent Hardwire Kit, sold separately. It powers the camera when motion is detected. Keep the camera’s Parking Mode off for this setup.
Low-voltage protection
When the exact kit’s battery protection cuts power, the camera cannot record parking events. Check its documented settings and restore adequate power according to the kit instructions.
A clearer next step.
Settings will not open
Stop recording with REC first. MENU once opens mode settings; MENU twice opens System Settings. Browse with REC/MIC and confirm with OK.
The memory card fills with locked clips
Back up needed clips and check Gravity Sensing sensitivity. Locked files are not removed by normal loop recording. Format only after backup.
The computer does not show files
Use a data-capable USB-to-Mini-USB cable and select Mass Storage, or try a card reader. A charge-only cable does not transfer recordings.
Which V1 guide should I use?
Use the model printed on the camera label. V1 Basic, V1-4K, V1 FHD and V1 Gen 3 are separate support entries.
