12 Power indicator doesn t work If the power supply is less than 600mA current, the camera can t be charged and the power indicator will not work. Image has horizontal stripes interference This is due to the wrong setting of flicker. Please adjust it depending on the local power supply frequency, reset the Flicker: 50Hz/60Hz. Camera doesn t auto start recording when the car engine is started Please make sure that the loop recording is /3/5 minute(s), not OFF, because it won t auto start recording when loop recording is OFF; additionally, please check if the microsd card is full, if yes you may try to format the microsd card. The camera continues automatic recording and won t stop This perhaps because that the camera is working on Motion Detection mode; you can check whether there is an icon on the screen. When the Motion Detection is ON, it will auto start recording when a moving object appears within the range of camera. When the motion ceases, the recording will stop automatically until a moving object appears again. It will not automatically shut down until power goes off.
