  • How long is the rear cable? can i extend it?

    The default rear cable is 6M(19.68 feet), and you can buy a longer cable(8M/10M) separately from our store, 

    We do not suggest extending it on your own.

  • How do Parking Mode work?

    First, as the camera needs a constant power supply to record, you need the hardwire Kit (HK4) and fuse tap to take electricity from your car battery, connect the red BAT cable to a port with constant power and the yellow ACC cable to the accessory port (no power when the engine is off), the ACC cable can detect voltage change and then send a signal to the camera, so the camera can switch between parking mode and driving mode freely.

    Here is s simulation video.

    Please note that hardwire Kit (HK4) and fuse tap needs to be purchased separately.

  • What is the use of the transparent stickers?

    The transparent stickers are static stickers, which can be attached to your car windshield before installing the camera.
