3.3 Power Connection (OBD Hardwired Cable)

The Vantrue T3 includes an OBD hardwired cable for continuous power, enabling 24/7 parking monitoring and protecting your car battery from depletion.

1. Locate your vehicle's OBD-II port (usually under the dashboard on the driver's side).
2. Plug the OBD connector into the vehicle's OBD-II port.
3. Connect the USB-C end of the OBD cable to the dash cam's Type-C USB port.
4. Route the cable neatly along the windshield and dashboard edges to avoid obstructing your view or interfering with driving controls.

The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle's ignition is turned on, and switch to parking mode when the ignition is off.

3.4 Nhazi izizi

Upon first power-on, you may need to set the date, time, and language. Navigate the menu using the button panel.

Optional GPS Functionality: For GPS tracking of location and speed, an external GPS mount (sold separately, ASIN: B083XBS88L) is required. Attach the GPS mount to the dash cam and connect it to power instead of the standard mount.

4.3 24/7 Radar Detection Parking Monitor

When the vehicle is parked and the ignition is off, the dash cam enters parking mode. The integrated microwave radar sensitively detects any movement in front of the car or vibrations, triggering recording to capture potential incidents.

4.4 G-Sensor (Collision Detection)

The built-in G-sensor automatically detects sudden shakes or collisions. When activated, it locks and saves the current footage to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical incident evidence is preserved.

4.5 Ndekọ Njikọ Na-enweghị Ntụpọ

The dash cam continuously records video in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the Micro SD card is full, the oldest unlocked footage is automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures uninterrupted recording without manual intervention.

4.6 Ndekọ agafeghị oge

The Time Lapse function allows the dash cam to capture still images at set intervals (e.g., one photo per second) and then combine them into a video. This is useful for monitoring long periods, such as a multi-week road trip, while conserving memory card space.

4.7 Super Capacitor Technology

The Vantrue T3 utilizes a super capacitor instead of a traditional battery. This provides superior heat and cold resistance, allowing the dash cam to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from 14°F to 158°F (-10°C to 70°C). This design enhances durability, prevents overheating issues, and extends the device's service life.
