socket, we recommend the users to manually power off the camera.

Loop Recording

Default: 1 Minute

The loop recording function allows the camera to continuously record video

footage on your memory card. When there is insufcient space on the memory

card, loop recording will automatically overwrite the oldest non-protected le on

the memory card, and replace with a new recording.

The available settings of 1/3/5 minutes allows you to choose how long to record

for each video le.

Emergency le protection

Default: Low

When the G-sensor is activated due to a collision, the footage currently recorded

will be automatically locked to avoid being overwritten by loop recording. Adjust

the G-sensor level of the camera to the appropriate setting based on your

driving area.

Parking Surveillance Mode

Default: Off

When Parking Mode has been turned on, the Dash Cam enters standby mode

when the vehicle has been turned OFF (typically removing your ignition key).

Should physical movement of the vehicle be detected, the Dash Cam will power

on and start recording a 30 second protected video. If no further physical

movement is detected then the camera will return to standby mode, if physical

movement is detected subsequently, then the camera will continue to record

normally, i.e. driving once more.

Activating ADAS

The tonto offers additional driver’s safety with Front Collision Warning (FCW)

and Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), part of Advanced driver-

assistance systems. These functions provides a reminder to the driver when the

camera detects a possible front collision, or when it detects the vehicle swaying

out of lane. To activate these functions, press the Setup button, and navigate

through the menu options until the option “ADAS” is highlighted.

After selecting the ADAS settings, two options will appear; FCW and LDWS.

Select the desired option to activate or deactivate by pressing the “OK” button.

Adjusting camera for ADAS

To increase the accuracy of the ADAS functions, the camera must be aligned

properly in order for the system to recognize various objects on the road. Shown

below is the recommended positioning of your camera.

Align to center of the

vehicle’s front hood.

Align front edge of

the hood below the

blue line (20% max

from bottom)

ADAS will only activate when the recording resolution is at 1080P

30FPS (1920 x 1080 30P). ADAS will not activate if the any other

recording resolution has been selected.

FAQ

16

What happens when my memory card is full?

The RSC tonto allows its user to congure the length of each video segment

(Available intervals are at 1, 3, and 5 minutes) When the memory card is full, the

earlier recorded videos will be overwritten, except for those which are protected

by a manual le lock or G-Sensor Emergency lock.

What kind of memory card can I use with the dash cam?

The dashcam requires a microSDHC/microSDXC memory card with a minimum

rated speed of Class 10 / UHS-I or above. The following SD card brands have

been tested and are compatible with our cameras: ADATA, Kingston, Patriot, and

Transcend (8GB-128GB max and must be rated class 10 or higher). Other brands

and models may work, however these are the brands we have tested extensively

in-house for compatibility.

Incompatible Cards

We are unable to recommend SanDisk or Samsung branded memory cards

at this time, as our test results has shown the memory cards may become

incompatible and cause disruption in the operation of the dashcam.

The suction cup mount will not stay on my windshield.

Ensure that the protective cover (plastic lm) has been removed from the

suction pad. Ensure that the locking lever is fully open when the mount is

pushed on to the windshield and then close the lever. Make sure that the glass

is smooth and clean. Do not mount to a surface that has any non-smooth effect

or paint.

I cannot insert the MicroSD card.

MicroSD card are very small and require delicate use. Align the card with the

diagram shown on the dash camera and insert the card until you feel a slight

spring resistance. You then need to push the card using your nger nail until

you hear a click sound and feel a small latch. Release pressure and the card

will stay retained within the device. Use the edge of a small coin if you have

difculty.

I cannot remove the MicroSD card.

With the card previously installed, you would need to push the card further

inwards slightly using a nger or any thin blunt object, until you hear and feel a

small latch unlocked. Use the edge of a small coin if you have difculty. Release

pressure and the memory card will spring out for removal.
