HD Dash Cam with 2.4″ Monitor

• Video recording:
  – recording time: 3 minutes – 5 minutes – 10 minutes (at high resolution the file takes up about 130MB per minute)
  – when the memory runs out of space the recording is overwritten 
• Power supply: the device has a built-in 180 mAh lithium-ion battery that can be charged through a USB port (USB cable not included) or through the cigarette lighter socket (adapter cable included)

Does the battery need replacing often, given that “Low battery” is shown a few seconds after the cigarette lighter is unplugged? Despite what is shown on screen, the battery never reaches a voltage that counts as ‘discharged’, as normally happens in battery-powered devices; it is therefore always kept in perfect condition, to guarantee the battery its natural life. The battery only has to allow enough run time to close the file being recorded automatically if the cigarette lighter voltage fails.

When the device is powered from outside the battery is always charging, but when the device is off no LED shows that the battery is charging That is correct behaviour.

With the external power removed the device switches off immediately. At the next power-up the date and time are reset to zero, along with other settings This is a fault in the unit, so we recommend returning the product following the guidelines given in the general terms and conditions of sale.
