- Here's this exact dash cam on Amazon: amzn.to/3j5N9f7
Honestly this other camera is much, much better (better quality and easier to install), however the only exception is this camera doesn't come with a rear camera: amzn.to/3j6SbYy

You might want to set looping to five minutes in case accident happens at 1 min45seconds into video, then next video starts, meaning you will have to lock both videos, or possibly three or more to catch interaction w all parties occuring across two or more videos.
That’s a good idea.
Thank you! This was an easy way to start recording. Just gotta change the date and time now lol
Great,very helpful. Got me up and running. I would rather watch a well done video,than read all that small writing on instruction booklets. I have to use a magnifying glass these days 🙂
I have a suggestion for that rear camera mount. If you use the second mount that came with the camera, you can use that little tie wrap that held the power cord and use it to mount the camera on that other suction cup mount. Loop the tie wire through the holes and secure it, and then stick The suction cup in the lower edge of your rear window and adjust the height of your camera. This way it will never be out in the elements getting splashed on or snow to cover up the camera and hide the cable under the rear seat leading to the camera.
Awesome thanks! Today I just took it out of the box and I see all the options and I have it setup like you showed but initially it never let me set time zone. Do you know how I get back to set time zone?
Great video. Cant for the life of me understand the instructions. Good on you!
Great video for quick tips!
Hello can you help me mine os just taking photo its not recording.
I connected the red wire for the rear camera to the reverse light (checked it with a multimeter to make sure everything is good) but the reverse camera will not display automatically when I shift to reverse. Any ideas??
I have a dodge ram 1500 pick up truck. Here is a little hack that are used for the rear camera. Use the second mounting device with the suction cup and mount the rear camera to it using that little tie wrap used on one of the cables. Loop it through the holes and tighten it securely, and then stick the suction cup on the lower part of your window in the center and adjust the height of the camera angle. And then just run the cable underneath the rear seat up to the camera and you don’t have to deal with wiring it to reverse, or having the rear camera attached to the license plate being subject to the elements like rain and snow or whatever. And another reason for security, you won’t get some jerk smashing your camera or taking it off the license plate. I hope that helps.
Thanks. Can you get the videos on your iPhone directly?
Hey can you show a setup of the rearview camera cause mines not working like yours I'm definitely not getting the double picture and tried pressing the buttons ya did on camera but nothing worked
I have the same problem did you find out how can I make it work please and thank you
In the same situation. Do you attach it to the plate's screw? Does that not mess up your angle of view?
Same here. I unplugged the power cable to the cam and plugged it back in. Then, a still image of the rear cam came on. But no live video. When I tested it prior to install, it worked fine. Any ideas?
I turned off loop recording but it still records every 5 minutes..
Same and I can’t figure out how to turn it off
Any luck I have the same problem
I have the same dashcam but for some reason it does not auto delete the previous recording. Any ideas why that would be the case?
Turn on looping
How to set up the rear
I don't travel very far and 32 GB memory card fills quickly. I expect since using two cameras, rear and forward. Has anyone confirmed turning audio off will save SD card space?
It should just loop record over the oldest video. No need to turn audio off
I just can’t get my camera to split and have both front and back showing anyone know why. The wires are all correct aswell
What does the G mean on you dashcam? I have all your settings but not the G
Why doesn’t mine record when powering on. I have to click record every time?
Where does the red wire go connected to
Hi I have a question for you I just get a camera yeah I I cannot see my real camera and my screen why can you please tell me what I have to do
I have the same camera but every time I turn on the car and drive the red blinking light does not turn on. Does it automatically recorded because it seems I have to manually press the record button every time
it has a mind of its own, sometimes it starts recording when i start the engine, sometimes i have to press the record button manually. no idea why that happens but i now i have to remind myself EVERYTIME i start the car to check whether or not its recording. Annoying as Fudge!
Make sure "motion detection" is turned on. It will automatically start recording when you start moving the car.
@@chrisbarrett5183my motion detection will not stay on. It defaults back to off
Hey, i tried to insert my SD into my laptop i have sound but a black screen. any ideas for me? i formatted, i made sure it is recording, locked and let it go for the full 2 minutes before checking again. :(
Men I want to ask you something about this cam . Can you help me .? My camera stay on and recording all the time even when my car is off .
Mine will not turn off when the car turns off. I have to turn it off. Is there a way to fix that?
OK so I purchased one right and with the 64gig and I wanted to know how long does the memory go before it gets full with the settings that you have a set up for?
Loop will allow it to record over previous videos. If you lock a video it will save it. And not record over that video
@@fedexguynv ok thanks
I'm having a problem with my SD card filling up? But the loop mode shouldn't have it save anything until I eject the card right?
Could it be the Gsensor autosaving when I'm on gravel roads?
Probably the g sensor. I had a similar issue where it would lock the videos and not record over them. I turned it off, I don't think it's really necessary
Very helpful video. Thanks!
Everytime I turn my car engine off and on the camera resets to factory default settings. How are you able to maintain your settings?
Your battery might be the culprit. On most dash cams the battery not only allows it to record when the car is off but also keep the memory. Turn on the camera without the car on and watch the battery to see if it drains fast or never charges.
I bought this camera with front and back camera. Worked great for about a week then it cuts off like it doesn't get power and my light plug is in great working condition. Very frustrating if you can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Well first of all if your camera screen goes black the camera is ptobably still recording. If you want your screen on all the time you need to scroll down to '' Backlight"", turn backlight OFF. Click on backlight and make setting is at 0. hope this helps
@@sundance2421 thanks I'll try that
So this is a weird question I bought a memory card and it's not going in do u have to press something to get a tray out or what memory card did u use
Has to be a micro SD card (the tiny ones). Push it in with the corner of a credit card, or use the tool that came with the camera (It's a paper-clip looking thingy that's taped to the inside top of the box). It goes in quite far before it "clicks" and locks in place.
Will Park mode work if the car is off and the cigarette lighter isn’t getting power?
No ,you need to plug in cig or usb cable to keep the cam on work
Yes, but it needs proper backup battery charge
Can someone tell me if the rear camera records? I have both cameras plugged in and working but only the front camera is on the recorded video
Yes it records too! Listed separately though!
@@bmceg where is the rear camera videos listed/stored?
@Mo-to3rp hey, I just figured it out. Go to where the videos are stored, and push and hold the up arrow. It should beep at you as it switches over to rear camera saved videos, as well as saved pictures.
Your camera still working? I just saw a bunch of reviews of people saying it died out after 3-6 months.
Okay so I had mine for about 6 months. Now it says low battery for about 10 seconds then power off. How do I charge the battery?
Same problem I'm having. You batter IS charging, the problem is that the battery is worn out and will no longer hold a charge. I have two of these Chortau dashcams and both have battery issues.
Plug in usb charger
It means that you cannot use it anymore? Or it says this message only when you shut down your car?
@@rsmith317 what do you do when it has battery issues? Mines will come on for about 10 mins then cut off.
I have two of these Chortau dashcams for two cars. The batteries in these Chortau dashcam's wear out after a while and they won't hold a charge.... and this means that park mode will no longer work because the battery will be dead. So many flaws with this dashcam.
After how much time they wear out? Maybe it is because they have no time to re charge properly.
@@positive_lightning after a few months the battery will be worn out. The only time I recharge is while driving. Taking it out of the car everyday and charging it would be a pain.
If the battery maintains a low level for a long time it could die, so in order to keep them charged, over time could be useful to charge them manually. Not every day, maybe fortnightly/monthly depending on how much you drive the car.
@@positive_lightning mines lasted 3 months now it cuts off after about 10 mins of riding.
How to show front & rear on screen at the sametime i had it on i dont lnow shat i pushed ot just showing rear on screen
Typical foreign made gadgetry with poor instructions. How do you get the rear camera to display?
