This document provides a comprehensive guide for the Hikvision Dashcam F6, covering its functions, installation, mobile phone connection, and troubleshooting.
The Hikvision Dashcam F6 is designed to record driving footage, offering both normal and emergency recording capabilities. It powers on automatically when the vehicle engine starts and powers off when the engine is turned off, ensuring continuous operation during your drive and preventing unnecessary battery drain when the vehicle is stationary. The dashcam supports selectable sound and mute recordings, with sound saving set as default, which can be adjusted via the companion app.
The device features a recording indicator (Red/Blue) that provides visual feedback on its operational status. A solid blue light indicates normal recording, while a solid red light signifies abnormal recording. A flashing light indicates that the app is connected to the dashcam, allowing for remote control and configuration.
For enhanced security and data integrity, the dashcam includes a G-Sensor. This sensor detects collisions and automatically triggers emergency recording, locking the footage to prevent accidental overwriting. This feature is crucial for documenting incidents and providing evidence in case of accidents.
The Dashcam F6 is designed for straightforward installation and user-friendly operation. The installation process begins by cleaning the windscreen and applying an electrostatic film, ensuring a secure and bubble-free attachment. The dashcam is then mounted onto the center of this film. Power is supplied via a car charger, which connects to the vehicle's cigarette lighter. The power cord is routed along the vehicle's interior to maintain a tidy setup. Once installed, the surveillance angle can be adjusted to capture the desired field of view.
Mobile phone connectivity is a key feature, enabling users to manage and configure the dashcam via the HikDashcam app. To connect, users first scan a QR code to download and install the app. Within the app, users can add the dashcam by selecting its Wi-Fi SSID (HIKVISION-F6-XXXX) from the Wi-Fi list and entering the default password (1234567890). For iOS users, manual connection through the phone's Wi-Fi settings is required. After the initial connection, it is strongly recommended to change the default Wi-Fi password to activate the dashcam and prevent abnormal recording. The app allows users to set various parameters of the dashcam, offering flexibility and control over its functions.
The dashcam's reset button serves two primary functions: a short press reboots the device, which can be useful for resolving minor issues, while holding the button down until a prompt sound is heard restores the dashcam to its default factory settings. This is particularly useful if the Wi-Fi password is forgotten or if configuration issues arise.
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the Dashcam F6. The manual emphasizes several precautions to avoid danger and property loss. Users must comply with local laws and regulations regarding dashcam use. It is important to keep the user manual for future reference, especially for initial connection instructions.
For data storage, it is recommended to purchase TF cards from legal channels and use Class 10 or above cards to ensure safe and stable data transmission. To protect the TF card from damage, the dashcam should be shut down before installing or uninstalling the card.
Regarding power management, if the dashcam is directly connected to the vehicle's power system, it is advisable to power off the dashcam when the engine is off. Disconnecting the cigarette lighter can prevent insufficient voltage and abnormal startup, and reconnecting it ensures normal operation when the car is started again.
The dashcam is designed to operate within a temperature range of -20°C to 70°C (-4°F to 158°F). To protect the device, it should not be used in environments with extreme high or low temperatures, or high humidity. It is also important to keep the dashcam away from rain and dust.
Troubleshooting guidance is provided for common issues. If the dashcam drops easily, cleaning the windscreen before installation is recommended. If the dashcam fails to start, users should check if the vehicle is started, if the power supply is normal, and if the indicator light is on. Reconnecting the cigarette lighter or performing a factory reset by holding the reset button can resolve startup issues.
If the dashcam powers off easily, checking the power cord's condition and ensuring it is tightly connected to the interfaces is crucial. For abnormal recording or an unlit indicator, users should verify successful startup, check if the TF card is inserted, examine the TF card's status (format, lifespan), and consider changing the TF card if it is faulty.
Blurred recordings can be resolved by ensuring the protective film is peeled off and checking if the windscreen or the dashcam lens is blurred. If recordings are mute, the sound setting in the HikDashcam app should be activated. If the dashcam reboots itself, verifying that the car charger provides a power supply of 5 VDC and ≥ 2 A is necessary.
For mobile phone connection issues, users should ensure the HikDashcam app is installed and try reconnecting the dashcam to the app. If recordings do not display on the phone, it might be related to the phone's player or system; inserting the TF card into a computer to view recordings is an alternative. The dashcam does not support data transmission via the supplied power cord, which is for charging only; data transfer requires inserting the TF card directly into a computer.
Slow Wi-Fi connection can be due to interference from surrounding Wi-Fi signals; using the dashcam in an environment with less interference or closing unnecessary programs on the phone to free up resources for the app can help. If the Wi-Fi password is forgotten, a factory reset will restore the default password (1234567890), allowing users to reconnect and set a new password.
