Important Notes:

Memory Card Required: CAM35 requires microSD memory card (Class 10 or higher recommended, up to 128GB supported) for video storage. Memory card sold separately and must be purchased for camera operation.

Hardwire Kit for Parking Mode: Parking mode requires constant vehicle power supply. Standard cigarette lighter installation only provides power when ignition is on. For 24/7 parking mode protection, professional hardwire installation to vehicle battery is required.

Regular Formatting Required: Memory cards should be reformatted regularly (monthly recommended) using camera's format function to prevent file corruption and maintain optimal recording performance.

Windscreen Mounting Only: Designed for windscreen mounting behind rearview mirror. Ensure camera placement complies with local regulations regarding windscreen obstruction and driver visibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the CAM35 come with a memory card, or do I need to buy one separately?

A: The CAM35 does NOT include a memory card - you must purchase a microSD card separately for the camera to record footage. We recommend a Class 10 or higher speed rating microSD card with capacity between 32GB to 128GB depending on your recording duration requirements. Higher capacity cards (64GB-128GB) provide longer recording time before loop overwrite. Avoid using cheap low-quality memory cards as they can cause recording failures, file corruption, or premature card failure. Format the memory card using the camera's format function before first use, and reformat monthly to maintain optimal performance and prevent file system corruption that could result in lost footage.

Q: How does parking mode work, and do I need anything extra to use it?

A: Parking mode uses the built-in vibration sensor to detect sudden impacts or movement when your vehicle is parked with the engine off, automatically waking the camera from sleep mode to record the incident. However, parking mode requires constant power supply to the camera even when your vehicle is turned off. The standard cigarette lighter power cable only provides power when ignition is on, so for parking mode functionality you need a hardwire installation kit (sold separately) that connects directly to your vehicle battery with appropriate voltage cutoff protection preventing battery drain. Hardwire installation typically requires professional fitting by auto electrician to ensure proper connection, fuse protection, and voltage monitoring. Without hardwire kit, the camera only records when vehicle ignition is on.

Q: Can I use this dash cam in my taxi, Uber, or delivery vehicle for commercial purposes?

A: Yes, the CAM35 is ideal for commercial applications including taxi services, rideshare platforms (Uber, Didi, Ola), courier and delivery vehicles, tradie work vehicles, and commercial fleet applications. The Full HD resolution captures clear footage for insurance claims, dispute resolution, or incident documentation. However, if using for commercial purposes where passengers or customers are recorded, you should display appropriate privacy notices informing passengers that video recording is in operation, and ensure compliance with Australian privacy laws regarding recording of individuals. Some rideshare platforms may have specific dash cam requirements or recommendations - check your platform's policies. Commercial users should consider larger memory cards (128GB) for extended recording capacity during long shifts.

Q: What happens to recorded footage when the memory card becomes full?

A: The CAM35 uses loop recording, which means when the memory card reaches full capacity, the camera automatically overwrites the oldest footage with new recordings, ensuring the camera never stops recording. However, footage protected by G-sensor impact detection (triggered during accidents or hard braking) is locked and will NOT be overwritten, preserving critical incident evidence. You can also manually lock important files using the camera interface to prevent overwrite. To ensure you don't lose important footage, regularly transfer recorded files to computer or backup storage, and use appropriately sized memory cards (64GB-128GB) providing several hours of recording before loop overwrite begins. Format the card monthly to maintain performance.

Q: How do I install the CAM35, and can I do it myself without professional help?

A: The CAM35 is designed for straightforward DIY installation. First, clean the windscreen area behind your rearview mirror where the camera will mount. Attach the adhesive mount to the windscreen ensuring it doesn't obstruct your view or violate local windscreen obstruction regulations. Click the camera into the mount. Route the power cable along the windscreen edge, down the A-pillar, and to your cigarette lighter socket, tucking the cable under trim panels for neat appearance. Plug into cigarette lighter socket and power on camera. Adjust camera angle to capture desired road view using the LCD screen. The entire process typically takes 15-30 minutes. However, for parking mode functionality requiring hardwire installation to vehicle battery, professional auto electrician installation is strongly recommended to ensure proper fuse protection, voltage monitoring, and safe battery connection.
