2-2 Inserting a microSD Memory Card

You must insert a microSD memory card into the cameras before you can start recording.

 1. Insert a microSD memory card into the card slot of the cameras.

WARNING

  • Always format new memory cards through DrivePro before using them for the first time.
  • Formatting will erase all data on the memory card. To format the memory card in the front camera DP250, press the Settings button and select Format Card. For the rear camera DP10, you can either download the DrivePro app and access Settings for operation, or connect the power and long-press the emergency button until the red light flashes rapidly.
    Note: After long-pressing the emergency button of the DP10, the device settings will be restored to default.
  • The DrivePro 620 supports only the FAT32 file system and does not support exFAT or NTFS.

 2. To remove, push to eject the memory card out of the slot.

WARNING

To prevent damage to the memory card and potential data loss, please do not remove the memory card during a shutdown.

  • For more details on the approximate recording time according to card capacity, go to FAQ on our official website.

2-3 Mounting the DrivePro

  1. Insert the mount bracket into the mounting socket of the cameras, and slide sideways until you hear a click.

  2. Thoroughly clean and dry the area of the windshield you wish to mount the DrivePro. For the best visibility, consider mounting the dashcam in the middle of the windshield, at approximately the height of the rear-view mirror.

  3. For the front camera, press down the lever bar of the suction mount, and firmly attach the camera to the windshield. For the rear camera, peel off the protective film from the adhesive mount, and firmly attach the camera to the rear windshield.

  4. Turn the adjustment knob anticlockwise to loosen, and then adjust the DrivePro’s position.

  5. After the DrivePro is in the best position, turn the adjustment knob clockwise to ensure that the DrivePro is securely locked in place.
