so that it does not interfere with driving. Make sure that the cable installation does not interfere with the vehicle's
airbags or other safety features.
If you only use the dash cam (without connecting the rear camera) in your vehicle, simply connect the vehicle
power adapter to the dash cam and then plug it to the cigarette lighter.
The installation illustrations are for your reference only. The placement of the devices and cables may vary

Using your dash cam in a vehicle
To ensure the highest quality recordings, you are advised to place the dash cam near the rear-view mirror.
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 car’s windscreen is tinted with a reflective coating, it may be athermic and impact the GPS reception. In this
instance, please mount your device where there is a “clear area.”
The system will automatically calibrate the G sensor of the device during start-up. To avoid G sensor malfunction,
always turn the device on AFTER you mount it in the vehicle properly.
The Mivue dash cam is designed to stay connected with the vehicle power adapter to ensure optimal
performance. The battery is designed as a backup power source for short-term use only in the event when the
vehicles power system is cut out during an incident so the dash cam can save the last recording. It is not to be
used as a sole source of power for prolonged periods.
Make sure that your car is parked on level ground. Follow the instructions to securely mount your dash cam and rear

Recording in Parking mode
