Product Manuals

Q: when the car is off for example on parkin lot,this camera is not recording???

A: This camera turns off when the car is turned off. If left plugged into the power source and the user set the GPS and Motion detection settings, the device will record if your car is hit, or if someone walks within view of the camera.

Q: does anybody know what the coffee cup or the other symbols are?

A: Hi. I truly appreciate you taking some time to share your inquiry. The coffee cup symbol is the Driver fatigue alarm. It displays the icon and beeps once to remind you to rest. You can select 1h, 2h, 4h, or Off. If you do not stop for a break, the alarm is repeated every 30 minutes. We have a full schematic with all the icons of the Camera that we can send you. Just please e-mail us at https://www.insigniaproducts.com/contact-us and we will be happy to provide you with the full information. Alexander G. - Insignia Support

Q: It is mentioned as a rear camera dash cam too ... does it mean I can use it to watch rear side view while parking and if yes where can be the rear camera fixed to car.

A: No, the rear view is just a small window in screen of the dashcam, and if you swap it out it still won't work because it takes an image of everything towards the back beginning at the camera, so your face and the inside of the car plus looking through the rear and side windows is what is seen.

Q: What is the capacity of micro sd card that can be use in GB?

A: Quick Setup Guide in the box says 128GB. Online Quick Setup Guide says 256GB. Online User Guide says 256G. INSIGNIA support, which is correct?

Q: Does the camera record both front and rear simultaneously, or must you choose one or the other?

A: Both simultaneously. you'll get a 'back' file and a 'front' file on the memory card

Q: Can the camera be used during car parking (parking mode), and, if so, does the kit include required wiring (which one), any protection for car battery?

A: The camera will record as long as there is a power source that is active. This is a wired camera and the device must be plugged into a USB/lighter socket using the adapter that comes with the device. When your car is on, the camera records. If your car is off and the accessories are not provided power when off, the camera will turn off. If you would like protection while parked, i.e. footage of incidents, then you should turn on the feature for GPS activation and Motion. GPS will turn the camera on and record if the camera detects an impact. The Motion setting will turn the camera on and record when motion is detected in the camera view. Always ensure that you have a good battery and alternator, and check your vehicle manual regarding accessory power use. Footage is nice, but don't kill your battery by accident.

Q: Hi, Does this dash cam need to be plugged in at all times in the USB port in order to run or can it run standalone if it's charged fully? Thanks!

A: Has to be always plugged in to use. No internal battery for standalone recording.

Q: Does this dash cam require a subscription? Can it playback video on an android phone?

A: No, It does not require a subscription. It saves the video to a memory card that you will have to buy separate. So if your phone can pull video off a micro memory card you should be able to see it on your phone.

Nice little cam for the money.
I have this mounted beside the rearview mirror on my Silverado. It's small enough that it's unobtrusive, but the screen is still large enough that I can see what's showing on the screen. The suction cup is slightly tacky and pretty strong. Combined with the camera's lightweight, I don't see it ever coming loose. Video quality is pretty good. Signs and license plates are captured pretty well, though plates can be a bit iffy if they're too far away. The audio is good too, so if you're trying to note a plate for an incident, it might be best to call it out verbally so you'll have an audio record of it on the video just to be safe. The rear camera can be adjusted to aim up or down if needed and the camera is good enough to capture what's happening behind me, even through my truck's extremely dark window tint. This camera does not have an internal battery, so it has to be plugged in to power to operate. The power cord is generously long, so figuring out where you want to get your power from should be easy. The power cord is a USB, making it convenient to plug into any USB port or adapter you have in your vehicle. I have mine run to a USB adapter in my center console and just plug/unplug it when I want to turn the camera on/off. For me, it's quicker and more convenient than using the power button on the camera itself. The on-screen menus are not intuitive at all, but at the same time aren't too difficult to figure out. After initial setup, I rarely ever get into them. Just note that the camera cannot be recording while navigating the menus. At this price point this is a very good camera and I will likely end up getting 1 or 2 more for other vehicles.

Great Dash Cam
It is a very simple, yet effective cam. The suction cup holds nice and firm with an added locking mechanism, the unit itself is lightweight, the interface is straightforward and the power cable is generously long. I like that it includes a USB hub adapter to plug into your cars aux power outlet too. The recording quality is really good for both the front and rear facing cameras day and night. It also has loop recording, which is a feature you want in a dash cam *Basically it will keep constantly recording, even if you run out of memory, as it overwrites old files*. Things I want potential buyers to be aware of, because I see others may have not read the full description of this unit, is this is a HARDWIRED powered unit ONLY. It MUST be plugged in to function. Second, it DOES NOT come with a micro SD card. Even though the online manual says it can support up to 256gb cards, I can confirm that it DOES NOT support it. I got an unsupported error message multiple times. The box however indicates it can only support up to a 128gb card, which is the correct limit. Pro tip, get a higher quality fast reading SD card do NOT go cheap *I use a Sandisk with a V10 rating*. Make sure to format the card if using for the first time there is a handy built in setting in the dash cam that can do it for you. Video clips are saved as MP4 files and they they can be saved and played on most devices. Clips can be trimmed and sorted afterwards too. Overall, it's a very good cam for the price. Obviously there are more expensive better ones, but this still performs exceptionally well for only a hundred bucks and it can fit most peoples needs. As a safety precaution, I recommend taking it down if you are going to be parked for an extended period of time, so as noone tries to make an attempt to steal it. I've done this a bunch of times and it hasn't lost any suction strength.

finally a dc that handles 256gb card
this is my 4th dashcam .. and the reason i got this was for the 256gb sd capacity .. and 2nd for rear facing .. then 3rd is higher resolution .. in the past 5 years ,my, DC have recorded 3 crashes for me ,,and many near wrecks ,, and all not my fault.. today there are lots more careless drivers and you need proof ,, as some will blame you .. so obvious when you find so many on ytube .. here is a tip ,, if you read my review .. and see my photo . . i use a flat metal you can get anywhere at home stores ,, then remove a screw or bolt from your sun visor mount ,, to mount the metal plate .. take the DC windshield mount and cut off the rubber ,, and drill a hole and put a bolt or screw thru it ,,, it is up to you to do what you like.. now attach the metal bar to your sunvisor mount,, just like a washer ,, which is a hard solid mount to the car roof .. my current DC is attached to only one passenger sun visor bolt ,, but for my new mount ,i will use a longer metal plate to span both the driver and passenger sunvisor mount ,, and then mount the dashcam anywhere along the middle of the metal mount to get a rear view too .. another reason for the rear view ,, is ,, there are always speeding drivers who will catch up to you on the highway and then tail gaite you for no reason .. instead of passing you ,, even if you are going over the speed limit with cruze control .. ha .. and i thnk this type rear view DC is better than a camera outside ..or on the rear window ,, that you catch a tail gater .. completely blocking your driver view to check traffic behind you ..
