Overview

The Acumen XR10 4K is a digital rearview mirror dash cam designed to enhance driver and passenger safety by providing a clear view of rear traffic. It boasts industry-leading technology for comprehensive recording and monitoring.

Function Description

The primary function of the Acumen XR10 4K is to record video in ultra HD (4K) resolution, offering a detailed visual record of your journeys. It operates as a digital rearview mirror, providing an improved view of the rear of the vehicle compared to traditional mirrors. The device supports seamless loop-recording, ensuring continuous recording by automatically overwriting the oldest files when the memory card is full. However, locked footage, triggered by the impact sensor, is protected from being overwritten and requires manual deletion.

The XR10 4K is equipped with a wide-angle camera to capture a broad field of view. It also features real-time playback, allowing users to review recorded footage directly on the device. For added security, the dash cam includes a parking mode, which activates time-lapse recording when the vehicle is turned off, providing surveillance for extended periods. The WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) enhanced camera ensures clear video quality even in challenging lighting conditions, and an integrated impact sensor automatically locks and protects footage during collisions.

Usage Features

The device is designed for ease of use, with several features to enhance the driving and monitoring experience:

  • Automatic Recording: The XR10 4K automatically begins recording when powered on and stops when the car is turned off. Manual control is also available via the REC button to stop recording and the Power button to turn off the device.
  • Video Length Options: Users can select video clip durations of 1, 2, or 3 minutes, with 1 minute being the default setting.
  • Event Recording: When the impact sensor is active, the camera automatically locks and protects footage if a collision is detected, preventing it from being overwritten. The sensitivity of the impact sensor can be adjusted (off, low, medium, high) in the settings, with higher sensitivity protecting more footage.
  • Parking Time-Lapse Recording: With the hardwire kit installed, the dash cam can automatically record time-lapse videos for 8, 12, or 24 hours after the vehicle is turned off, providing continuous surveillance while parked. These time-lapse footages can be accessed through the playback menu.
  • GPS Functionality: The integrated GPS allows users to visualize their vehicle's location on a map during video playback and overlays speed information directly onto the videos.
  • Parking Assist: By connecting the red cable of the backup camera power cable to the positive line of the vehicle's reverse light, parking lines are automatically activated on the screen when reversing, assisting with parking maneuvers. These lines appear when the car is shifted into reverse gear.
  • Wi-Fi and App Connectivity: The AcumenCam app, available on both App Store and Google Play, allows users to connect their mobile devices to the XR10 4K via Wi-Fi. This connectivity enables access to footage without needing to remove the SD card. Users can download videos to their phone at high speeds. The app provides options to toggle between camera SD card and phone storage, view regular and emergency footages, and select multiple footages for download or deletion. It also allows for full-screen viewing and capturing pictures.
  • Display Brightness Adjustment: The display brightness can be adjusted by swiping left and right on the screen or by tapping the brightness icon in the home page menu.
  • Camera View Switching: Users can cycle through different installed cameras (front and rear) by tapping the switch camera view icon.
  • Microphone Control: The microphone can be turned on or off via an icon on the home page.
  • Video Locking: A dedicated lock icon allows users to manually lock the current video, protecting it from being overwritten by loop recording.
  • Language Selection: The device supports multiple languages, which can be selected in the settings.
  • Button Press Sound: Users can enable or disable button press sounds.
  • Speed Unit: The speed unit can be set to either MPH or KM/H.
  • Watermark: The Date/Time and device information watermark can be toggled on or off on the footage.
  • Rear Camera Mirror and Rotation: The rear camera image can be mirrored horizontally, and its rotation can be adjusted, allowing for upside-down mounting.
  • Display Icons: Users can choose to show or remove status icons from the recording interface.

Maintenance Features

The Acumen XR10 4K incorporates features and guidelines to ensure its longevity and optimal performance:

  • Micro SD Card Management: The device supports micro SD cards up to 128GB (Class 10 or above). It is crucial to format the micro SD card before initial use. To remove the card, press it until it ejects. It is important to turn off the device before inserting or removing the card to prevent damage.
  • Reset Functionality: In case the dash cam freezes, a system reboot can be performed by pressing the RESET button with a pin or SIM card remover. This is also a troubleshooting step for issues like the device not powering on or not displaying anything.
  • Camera Lens Cleaning: To prevent blurred footage, all camera lenses should be cleaned regularly with a microfiber cloth.
  • Troubleshooting Guide: The manual provides solutions for common issues, such as the dash cam not powering on (check cables, remove memory card, reboot), random recording stops or failure to overwrite old files (use Class 10 or above micro SD card), inconsistent video quality (affected by lighting and glare), and streaks in the image (try switching frequency to 60Hz).
  • Firmware Updates: The device allows users to check the current firmware version, which is important for ensuring the dash cam is running the latest software for optimal performance and bug fixes.
  • Factory Reset: The option to restore factory settings is available, which can be useful for resolving persistent issues or preparing the device for a new user.
  • SD Card Formatting: The device allows for formatting the SD card directly, which deletes all data and can help resolve recording issues.
