For devices connected to the FineVu Wi-Fi app, accessing the settings menu is not possible while
in parking mode. Switching to driving mode is required to proceed.

For devices connected to the FineVu CLOUD & Wi-Fi app, accessing the settings menu is not
possible if the cloud connection is lost.
Potential reasons for cloud connection loss include:

Dashcam power off:‘Settings’ > ‘General’ > ‘CarPlay’
Set CarPlay to OFF and then retry connecting the dashcam
Power saving parking mode:During Power saving parking mode, the dashcam enters ‘sleep mode’ to conserve power,
causing a disconnected cloud connection.

leading to a disconnected cloud connection.
Switching to driving mode is necessary to proceed.
Memory Partition – Driving Only:When the memory partition is set to ‘Driving Only,’ recording does not occur
while parking, causing the dashcam to turn off. Switching to driving mode is required to access the settings
menu.
Mobile router communication error:Poor communication status of the mobile router may prevent cloud connection.
Reconnecting is recommended once communication status improves.
Smartphone communication error:Unsmooth smartphone communication or blocked mobile data access can prevent
connection.
Ensuring mobile data is enabled and attempting connection in an area with good communication is advised.
Server communication error:In the event of a server communication error, please try again later.

Firmware:

How to update Firmware

Updating via SD Card

Download the latest firmware.
Remove the Micro SD card, insert it into the Micro SD card reader, and connect the
reader to a PC.
When the reader is connected to the PC, a USB drive or new disk drive will appear. It
is recommended to format Micro SD cards used in other devices before upgrading the
firmware.
Copy the downloaded firmware to the root directory of the memory card.
Insert the Micro SD card into the device. Turn on the device by turning on the vehicle
(ACC On) or starting the engine.
The firmware update will start automatically.
Upon completion of the firmware update, the system will automatically restart.

Updating via APP

Connect the app to the dashcam.
If new firmware is available, a ‘Firmware update notification’ pop-up will appear. Tap
the ‘Confirm’ button.
The firmware update process will begin.
Once the firmware update is complete, the system will automatically restart and the
connection between the dashcam and the app will be disconnected.

Sound issues:

Frequent beeping sounds while driving
Beeping sounds occur when the dashcam detects an impact. The sound can be minimized by reducing the system
volume or lowering the driving impact sensitivity. Refer to the instructions below:

Adjusting Volume:

APP: Connect to the dashcam > ‘Settings’ > ‘Sound’
Set the event sensitivity to Low or OFF.
LCD model: Adjust settings directly on the device.
Connect to the dashcam > ‘Settings’ > ‘Sound’
Set the event sensitivity to Low or OFF.

Beep sound occurs when the car in front starts.
The beep sound when the vehicle in front starts moving indicates that the FVMA (Front Vehicle Moving Alert)
feature is turned on. This feature provides an audible alert when the vehicle in front begins to move.

How to set up ADAS function:

APP: Connect to the dashcam > ‘Settings’ > ‘ADAS & Safe Driving’
Adjust the FVMA setting as needed.
LCD model: Connect to the dashcam > ‘Settings’ > ‘ADAS & Safe Driving’

Wi-Fi Issues

Wi-Fi Connection Issues:

How to reset all the setting
The password can be reset by initializing the device’s Wi-Fi settings. To do this, press the Wi-Fi button for more than 2 seconds. This will initiate the reset process, and the password will be set to ‘12345678’.
The Wi-Fi connection lasts only briefly and then drops.
Smartphones prioritize the task at hand. Therefore, when an app is closed or placed in the background on your smartphone, the Wi-Fi connection is usually lost. This behavior is normal and expected due to the way smartphones manage active connections and prioritize running applications.

Parking Mode

Parking mode recording settings:

Recording while parked
Recording in parking mode depends on the user settings:
Motion: Records video only when motion or impact is detected.
Smart Time Lapse: Records continuously at 2fps while parked.
15fps: Records at 15fps only when motion or impact is detected.
Parking Recording Disabled: No recording is performed in parking mode.
※ Note : If the vehicle is parked for an extended period, the dashcam may turn off due to low vehicle battery voltage. If the memory partition is set to ‘Driving Only’, parking recording will not be performed.

Dashcam Turning OFF:

Dashcam not turning on in Parking Mode

Dashcam could be turned off during parking mode.
Please refer to the information below:

Low volage of vehicle battery:

Disabled parking mode setting:
If the parking mode setting is disabled, the dashcam will turn off while parked, causing the dashcam to turn off.
Memory Partition – Driving Only:
When the memory partition is set to ‘Driving Only,’ recording does not occur while parking, causing the dashcam to turn off.

Hybrid Car:

How to set parking mode for hybrid car

Hybrid vehicles have slightly higher voltage cut-off standards than regular internal combustion engine vehicles. To set up a hybrid vehicle, follow the instructions below:

App: Connect to the dashcam > ‘Preferences’ > ‘Vehicle Model Settings’ to set the vehicle model to hybrid.
※ Note: Menus may vary depending on the dashcam model. If the configuration menu is not available, please check the system settings.

Low Voltage Cut-Off

How to turn ‘Low Voltage Cut-Off’ feature on
The low voltage cut-off feature enables the dashcam to automatically turn off when the battery voltage reaches a specified level. This function is designed to prevent the car from failing to start due to low battery voltage. Voltage levels are fully adjustable by the user. For reference, the minimum voltage level for the vehicle to start is 11.6V, and the lowest voltage cut-off level is also set at 11.6V.

How to set Low Voltage Settings:

APP: Connect to the dashcam > ‘Settings’ > ‘Power’ > ‘Low Voltage Settings’
Set the voltage level as desired.
LCD model: Adjust settings directly on the device.
Navigate to ‘Menu’ > ‘Power’ > ‘Low Voltage Settings’
Set the voltage level as desired.

Does the dashcam have a low voltage cut-off feature for mobile router?

The dashcam and mobile router are separate devices.
Mobile router must be installed with a separate low-voltage cut-off device.

Video Footages
