HARDWARE INTERFACE 6|Page
INSTALLATION 1 MOUNT To install the GPS Windshield Mount, connect the dash cam onto the mount. Remove protective film from camera lens. Find the spot on your windshield where you would like to mount the camera and confirm the placement. Reminder, this is an adhesive mount, so it is important to mount correctly the first time. Next, peel the plastic film off the 3M adhesive and press the mount FIRMLY onto the windshield.
BASIC OPERATION POWERING ON THE DEVICE The device will power on automatically when plugged in and can also be powered by PRESSING AND HOLDING the Multifunction button until the LED’s activate (when connected to power). LOOP RECORDINGS: Once the SD card is full, the camera will continuously overwrite the oldest footage recorded with recent recordings. To protect a clip so that it will not be overwritten, press the Multifunction button so that the clip is moved into the locked content partition.
INITIAL SETUP When first powered on, the device will show you the video stream and automatically begin loop recording. To adjust dash cam settings, you will need to connect to the Drive Smarter mobile app. We strongly recommend to pair with the Drive Smarter App to download the latest firmware and and adjust the camera’s settings. Please follow the directions below to pair the app with the camera. DRIVE SMARTER® APP CONNECTION The SC100 uses a Bluetooth® connection to the Drive Smarter app.
iRADAR® APP CONNECTION Connecting to the iRadar App enables your camera to receive real-time driver alerts about what is on the road ahead including.

VIDEO SETTINGS Video Resolution: This setting allows you to set the following resolutions on your SC 100. Higher resolutions will give you a clearer image but take up more space on the memory card. The available resolutions are: 1080P Full HD 1920x1080 30 Frames per Second 720P HD 1280x720 60 Frames per Second 720P HD 1280x720 30 Frames per Second Loop Clip Time: This setting allows you to control the duration of each individual movie clip on the device.
MEMORY CARD STORAGE LOOP RECORDINGS: Once the SD card is full, the camera will continuously overwrite the oldest footage recorded with recent recordings. To protect a clip so that it will not be overwritten, press the Multifunction button while recording so that the clip is moved into the locked content partition. EMERGENCY RECORDINGS: An Emergency Recording is triggered when the Multifunction button is pressed or when the GSensor registers a significant impact (hard braking or collision).
SAFETY FEATURES The SC Series Dash Cams come with several safety features designed to protect you and your vehicle. You can adjust the level of protection that fits you via Drive Smarter App settings. G-Sensor Impact Detection: The SC100 Dash Cam includes a built in G-Sensor which allows the device to determine when the car has been in a collision. If it detects a collision, it automatically locks the recording being made at the time of the accident.
GENERAL SETTINGS Video Resolution: Allows you to select the desired video resolution for loop recordings and emergency videos. Lower resolution settings result in smaller file sizes, which results in more space on the SD card. Loop Clip Time: Loop recordings and emergency videos can be saved in 1 min, 2 min, or 3 min clips depending on your preference. Smaller (1 min) files are easier to transfer to your phone and share.
Parking Mode: Enabling Parking Mode allows your camera to monitor for changes in its internal GSensor/accelerometer. Bumps, Collisions, and break-ins can trigger the G-Sensor to save valuable footage from the moment of impact. If leaving your vehicle off for more than 48 hours (or less if your battery is old) please use the “Auto Surveillance Shutoff” setting to set a timelimit on Motion Detection and prevent your battery from being drained.
Drive Smarter Services: These settings allow you to select which videos you would like auto-uploaded to the Drive Smarter App for sharing/review. You can also choose to have Incident Reports sent to your insurance provider, as well as Mayday alerts sent to your Emergency Contact if a severe GSensor event is detected. Speed Units Choose between miles/hour or kilometers/hour as the speed unit stamped in the watermark.

Your vehicles cigarette lighter socket or a household outlet work best Using the Drive Smarter App Power up your camera by connecting to constant power source such as your vehicles CLA adapter or a household outlet.
