Introduction

Welcome to your iQ Dash Cam, the world’s most

advanced connected Dash Cam.

It’s safety, security, and peace of mind like never before.

Record your journeys front, back and inside, giving

you total coverage in case of an incident.

All of your footage can be stored in the cloud,

letting you access it anytime.

Before using iQ, please ensure you familiarise

yourself with the contents of this manual including

Saftey Notices on page 36.

Camera

iQ has front facing and interior cameras (and an optional

rear-window camera) to record in and around your vehicle.

Power Source

When connected to your vehicle's OBD port, iQ automatically

turns on and starts recording when the engine is started.

Recording

The camera continuously records video footage while you're

driving. The video is typically recorded in short segments,

a few minutes long, to make it easier to manage the ﬁles.

Storage

The recorded video footage is stored on a memory card

inserted into the dash cam. The memory card acts as

storage, similar to an SD card in a digital camera.

Loop Recording

As the memory card ﬁlls up with recorded video, iQ uses a

feature called "loop recording" to overwrite the oldest footage

with new recordings. This ensures that the camera can keep

recording even when the memory card is full. Important ﬁles

can be manually saved to prevent them from being overwritten.

Event Recording

iQ has built-in G-sensors and Radar, which detect sudden

movements or impacts in and around your vehicle. When an event

like a collision or sudden braking is detected, iQ will automatically

save the footage surrounding the event and mark it as an important

ﬁle that to be reviewed. When you’re away from your vehicle, iQ can

send you notiﬁcations to let you know of suspicious activity near

where you’re parked, letting you keep an eye on what’s going on.

Playback and Accessing Footage

To view the recorded footage, use the iQ app (recommended)

or remove the memory card from the dash cam and insert it

into a computer. Once the footage is accessed, you can

review, edit, or share the recordings as needed.

iQ Overview

How a Dash Cam Works

iQ Overview

With stunning front view resolution (up to 4K, selected models), coupled with a

built-in HD cabin view surveillance and optional Rear Window Camera you’ll

have complete visibility both inside and out.

An optional 1440p Rear Window Camera guards against tailgaters and rear

end impacts, providing yet a further level of detail, security and safety.

The iQ App has been designed with user ease in mind. It will help you set up iQ,

show you the latest features and allow to easily browse your recorded videos

and journeys. It will also allow you to remotely access your iQ, download

recorded videos, and share important clips so you never lose useful footage.

Using the iQ App you can also enable user-set notiﬁcations, so you

are alerted to activity near your vehicle when you aren’t near it.

iQ has 4G connection capability, which can provide unique security features

such as remote Live View, Cloud Storage, and remote access to your iQ

recorded videos. iQ can be used as a single unconnected camera, however

for maximum coverage we highly recommend downloading the iQ app

and subscribing to access the full range of safety and security options.

Radar in both the Front and Rear Cameras provides all round video

coverage. As well as full recording, iQ is loaded with cutting edge

features such as Emergency SOS, Voice Control, and Witness Mode

to keep you safe whatever the situation.

CAMERA PARTS

iQ’s 4G capability allows you to interact with iQ remotely.

See the live video feed, access ﬁles and use security

features such as the alarm.

Distance from Cell Tower

The farther you are from a 4G cell tower, the weaker

the signal strength becomes.

Obstacles

Physical obstructions such as buildings, walls, trees,

and mountains can block or weaken 4G signal strength.

Weather Conditions

Weather conditions, such as heavy rain, thunderstorms,

and snowstorms, can interfere with 4G signals.

Interference occurs because water droplets in the

atmosphere can scatter and absorb radio waves

reducing signal strength.

Interference from Other Electronic Devices

Some electronic devices emit electromagnetic

waves that can interfere with 4G signals.

High Network Congestion

Large numbers of users simultaneously accessing

the 4G network in a speciﬁc area can lead to delays.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

EMI can occur from sources such as power lines,

electrical equipment, and radio frequency (RF) devices.

Geographical Factors

Hilly terrain or dense urban environments with

tall buildings can affect 4G signal.

NOTE iQ subscription is required to access 4G Features.

iQ’s 4G capability works in much the same way as your mobile

devices’ data usage. Here are several factors can interfere with

4G signals and affect the quality of wireless communication.

4G Information

Please note that while these factors can impact 4G signals, network operators

generally strive to optimize coverage and minimize interference.
