Ntuziaka ọrụ
Ndekọ ntọala
The HDR963GW automatically begins recording when the vehicle's ignition is turned on. Both front and rear cameras record simultaneously in Full HD (2 million pixels).
- Ndekọ na-aga n'ihu: Automatically records in a loop, overwriting the oldest files when the microSD card is full.
- Ndekọ mmemme: If an impact is detected by the G-sensor, the footage before and after the event is saved as a protected file.
- Ndekọ akwụkwọ ntuziaka: Press the designated button on the function switch to manually initiate an event recording.
Driving Support Functions
The device includes five driving support functions to enhance safety. These functions provide alerts based on real-time road conditions.
- Forward Vehicle Start Alert: Na-agwa gị mgbe ụgbọala dị n'ihu malitere ịkwaga.
- Forward Vehicle Collision Warning: Alerts you if you are approaching the vehicle in front too quickly.
- Ịdọ aka ná ntị ọpụpụ okporo ụzọ: Warns you if your vehicle drifts out of its lane.
- Drive Support Function: Detects and alerts for rapid acceleration, sudden deceleration, or abrupt steering.
- Speed Alarm Function: Notifies you if you exceed a preset speed limit.
Mara: These safety driving support functions are aids and do not prevent accidents. Always drive safely and pay attention to actual traffic conditions. Some functions require a GPS signal to operate. Performance may vary based on environmental conditions, weather, and vehicle characteristics.
GPS Alert Functions
The HDR963GW provides various alerts to support safe driving based on pre-registered GPS data. This data can be updated for free.
- Wrong-Way Driving Alert: Warns when entering areas with a risk of wrong-way driving on highways (IC/JCT, SA/PA) or urban expressways.
- Accident Point Alert: Notifies you when approaching locations with a high incidence of past accidents.
- "Hiyari Hatto" Point Alert: Alerts you when approaching dangerous spots on highways, such as sharp curves or steep descents.
- Speed Camera Route Alert: Warns you when approaching automatic speed enforcement cameras installed nationwide.
Mara: The registered data is current as of December 2019. Regular updates are recommended.
Parking Surveillance Function (Optional)
To use the parking surveillance function, the optional parking surveillance/direct wiring cord [HDROP-14] is required. This function allows the dashcam to monitor your vehicle even when parked.
- Nchọpụta mmetụta: Detects impacts while parked and records footage before and after the event.
- Ndekọ na-aga n'ihu: Can be set to continuously record while parked.
- Rear Camera Recording: Images from the rear camera are also recorded during parking surveillance.

Mara: Recorded images may be overwritten depending on the main unit's settings and the capacity of the microSD card.
HDR/WDR for Clear Night Images
The HDR963GW is equipped with High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) functions to ensure clear image recording even in challenging lighting conditions.
- These functions effectively suppress "whiteout" (overexposure) and "black crush" (underexposure).
- Provides clear images even in strong backlight or scenes with significant brightness differences, such as tunnel exits.
Mara: The rear camera supports HDR only.

Nlekọta
microSD Card Management
The HDR963GW utilizes a proprietary file system designed to minimize data fragmentation, allowing for extended use without frequent formatting. However, for optimal performance and longevity of the microSD card, periodic formatting is recommended as microSD cards are consumable items.
- SD Card Check Function: Upon startup, the device checks the microSD card for damage. If an abnormality is detected, an alert is displayed on the LCD screen, preventing missed recordings.
Nhicha
Regularly clean the camera lenses and the main unit's screen with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Nchọpụta nsogbu

| Nsogbu | Ihe kpatara/ Ngwọta nwere ike ime |
|---|---|
| Ngwaọrụ anaghị agbanwu ọkụ. | Check the power cable connection to the cigarette lighter socket and the dashcam. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is on. |
| No recording is taking place. | Verify the microSD card is inserted correctly. Check if the SD card check function is displaying an error. Format the microSD card if necessary. |
| Images are unclear or blurry. | Clean the camera lenses. Ensure the protective film (if any) has been removed. Check if HDR/WDR settings are appropriate for the lighting conditions. |
| GPS functions are not working. | Ensure the vehicle is in an open area with a clear view of the sky to receive GPS signals. Some functions require a stable GPS signal. |
| Parking surveillance not activating. | Confirm that the optional HDROP-14 cable is installed. Check parking surveillance settings. Ensure the impact detection sensitivity is not set too low or OFF. |
