2. Using your dash cam in a vehicle
The dash cam should be placed near the rear-view mirror to ensure optimal camera angle and video quality.
Select an appropriate location for mounting the device in a vehicle. Never place the device where the driver’s
field of vision is blocked.
If the windscreen is tinted with a reflective coating, it may be athermic and impact GPS reception. In this instance,
please mount the device in a “clear area".
The system will automatically calibrate the G-sensor during start-up. If the device's viewing angle or installation
position was changed from the original position after start-up, please turn the device off and on again to
recalibrate the G-sensor. Otherwise the G-sensor may malfunction and impact other features of the device (such
as event-driven recording and Parking Mode).
The dash cam is designed to stay connected with the vehicle power adapter at all times. The internal battery
is designed to allow the dash cam to save the last recording in case the vehicle’s power system fails during an
incident. The internal battery is not the primary power source.
Make sure the vehicle is parked on level ground and follow the instructions below to mount your dash cam.
1. Cleaning the windscreen with rubbing alcohol before attaching the suction cup mount to the windscreen is highly
2. When adjusting the dash cam's viewing angle, make
sure the camera’s view is parallel with the level ground
and the ground to sky ratio is about a 50/50 split.
3. Connect the vehicle power adapter to the cigarette
lighter. Route the cable through the ceiling and the
A-pillar so that it does not interfere with driving. Make
sure the cable installation does not interfere with the
vehicle's airbags or other safety features.
Note: The installation illustrations are for reference
only. The placement of the device and cables may
vary depending on the vehicle. If you encounter
any problems during installation, contact a service
technician for assistance.
In order to record video footage, Navman MiVUE dash cameras need a microSD. It is very important to use a
microSD card specifically designed to be used in dash cameras. It will ensure the card will be more reliable and
last longer; the wrong type of card has a greater chance of failing, even after a short period of time. Please visit
www.navman.com.au/memory-card www.navman.co.nz/memory-card or for more information on
To insert the SD card, hold the card by the edges and gently insert it into the slot
as shown in the illustration. To remove a card, gently push the top edge of the card
inwards to release it and pull it out of the slot.
To format the memory card (all data will be erased), press > .Format
DO NOT apply pressure to the centre of the memory card.
Navman does not guarantee the product’s compatibility with memory cards from all manufacturers. Please
always check the specifications/warranty to ensure the memory card can be used in dash cameras and loop
Please format the memory card to avoid recording errors caused by missing system files or folders.
You may need to format your memory card periodically to ensure it remains in good working condition.
You are advised to turn the device off before removing the memory card.

7. Recording videos while driving
Continuous recording will automatically commence shortly after the system is powered up, and the system indicator
will flash while recording is in progress.
Videos taken during continuous recording are divided into multiple clips and saved under the "Normal" folder,
but recording will not stop between video clips. Once the folder has reached its allocated capacity, the system will
automatically record over the oldest video saved under this folder.
Recording can be paused by pressing . Press to return to the recording screen and resume recording.
Note: The device will automatically calibrate its G-sensor during start-up. If the device's viewing angle or mounting
location was changed from the original position after start-up, the G-sensor must be recalibrated by restarting the
device to avoid malfunction and impact the Event-Driven recording feature.
During continuous recording, if a sudden event has been detected, such as running over a road bump, vehicle collision,
high-speed driving, or making a sharp turn, the G-sensor will prompt the dash cam to record the event. The sensitivity
level of the G-sensor can be adjusted by going to .> Video Recording > G-Sensor Sensitivity
The event-driven recording saves the duration from 3 seconds before the event until 17 seconds after the event. The
event recording can last up to 1 minute if the sensor is triggered again during the recording. Event-driven recordings
are saved in the "Event" folder. Once the folder has reached its allocated capacity, the system will automatically record
over the oldest video saved under this folder.
Press to manually activate event-driven recording while continuous recording is in progress. Press the button again
to stop event-driven recording and resume continuous recording.
8. Recording videos while parked
The dash cam cannot operate in Parking Mode by relying on its internal battery power. An additional
accessory such as an uninterruptible power cable or the Smart Box is required. Please visit
www.navman.com.au/mivue-smartbox www.navman.co.nz/mivue-smartbox or for purchasing
The device will automatically calibrate its G-sensor during start-up. If the device's viewing angle or mounting location
was changed from the original position after start-up, the G-sensor must be recalibrated by restarting the device to
avoid malfunction and impact the Parking Mode recording feature.
Parking Mode is disabled by default. Before enabling Parking Mode, please check your device memory storage allocation.
