IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Privacy Warning
• A microphone is built in this Dash Camera and sounds and voices in the

English
vehicle are saved in the SD card. Recording function is turned off at the factory
shipment. Recorded sound data might infringe privacy rights of passengers
inside vehicle. Request approval of passengers and comply with federal and
state laws when microphone is on. You are able to turn off this function if
necessary. Refer to the detailed description in page 21.
• Images or video shot and uploaded to a social media site may infringe the
privacy of pedestrians or other parties. We are not liable for images or video
that infringe on the privacy of third parties, should they be shot and uploaded to
a social media site.

Warnings about Video Recording


• The purpose of this Dash Camera is to record the conditions when a vehicle
is driven. Do not use the Dash Camera for mischief or any other improper
purposes.
• One of the purposes of this Dash Camera is to provide proof in the case of an
accident. However, its effectiveness as evidence is not guaranteed.
• We are not liable whatsoever for any damages that arise, such as from the
video failing to record or a recorded file being damaged, nor for any losses,
such as the Dash Camera being damaged or from use of the Dash Camera.
Videos may not be recorded or protected under the following conditions.
(1) If a micro SD card is not inserted in the Dash Camera.
(2) If the micro SD card is ejected from the Dash Camera.
(3) If anything other than a genuine micro SD card or the one provided with the
Dash Camera is used.
(4) If recorded videos are overwritten (deleted) by newly recorded videos.
(5) If the Dash Camera or the micro SD card is severely damaged due to a
vehicle collision event or immersed in water.
(6) If the power supply cord from the battery to the Dash Camera is broken or if
the battery is damaged due to a severe accident.
(7) If an impact is less than the set value (parking surveillance function).
(8) If camera visibility is extremely low due to windshield condensation or
heavy precipitation.
(9) If the Micro SD card memory has become corrupted, you may lose data or
may not be able to record. Micro SD cards have limited life and may require
replacement.
Market: Canada

TOYOTA — DASH CAMERA Page 5

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Videos during an impact event may not be recorded or saved during the
following cases:
(10) If your vehicle collides at low speed, or if another vehicle collides with yours
at a relatively low speed.
(11) If a part of your or the other party’s vehicle is hit in a part designed to
mitigate impact.
* (10) (11) Bumpers, doors, spare tire cover, etc. absorb shock, so the actual
impact may be smaller than it appears.
* (10) (11) Accidents in which the impact is so slight that the air bag does not
activate may not be detected.
(12) If the other party’s vehicle has relatively less weight than to your vehicle, or
if your vehicle collides with a person or a bicycle.
(13) If the contact with the other party's vehicle is at an angle rather than a direct
impact.
* (12) (13) If the other party’s vehicle is relatively lighter in weight (vehicle
vs. person, vehicle vs. bicycle, etc.), or if the other vehicle rolls over, the
shock of the collision is mitigated, and the shock to your own vehicle is
lower.
(14) If sudden braking is applied on a snowy or frozen road.
* There is little friction between a vehicle’s tires and the road when it is
snowy or frozen. Consequently, the vehicle slips at even the slightest
impact, which is difficult for the G-sensor to detect.
(15) If the impact is below G-sensor sensitivity settings.
(16) If there is a problem in the installation of the Dash Camera, such as
the body of the Dash Camera not being fixed, or if the calibration after
installation is incorrect.
• This Dash Camera is used for recording video; however, it is not guaranteed
that it will always be able to confirm a traffic signal. Environmental factors may
prevent confirmation of the traffic signal. In that case, judge the traffic signal
from the video before and after and from vehicles around it. We bear no liability
whatsoever for conditions in which a traffic signal cannot be confirmed.
• LED traffic signals flash faster than the human eye can detect, so when video
is shot with the Dash Camera, it may appear to be blinking. If the traffic signal
is not captured on video, make a judgment about it based on video before and
after and from vehicles around it. We shall bear no responsibility whatsoever if
video cannot capture an LED traffic signal device.
Market: Canada

TOYOTA — DASH CAMERA Page 6

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• This video recorder is constantly recording while ignition is on. When the micro
SD card is full, older videos are deleted and overwritten by new ones in the unit
of "Chapter" files (except event-protected video files). The Dash Camera has
a function that protects up to five videos recorded when it detects the ACTION

English
button has been pressed. If the number of videos reaches the maximum
number, protection of older videos is released, and they become subject to
deletion. When the data is important, such as in the case of an accident, turn
off the ignition key of the vehicle as soon as possible. Eject the micro SD
card and save the video on a personal computer or save the video to your
smartphone using the smartphone application.
• If you wish to keep a recorded video, copy the video to your computer, upload
to social media site, etc. from a smartphone, or save in another way. We are
not liable for corrupted files that may occur when saving image or video files
that you have shot to a computer.

Cautions about Operating and Handling the Dash Camera


• The driver should not eject/insert the micro SD card, or operate a smartphone
while driving. Doing so may cause an accident from being distracted. If these
operations are necessary, be sure to park the car in a safe place first.
• Do not park or stop the car illegally in order to use the Dash Camera.
• Do not touch the Dash Camera with a bare hand if it has been sitting in direct
sunlight during the summer. The Dash Camera may be hot and cause a burn.
• Do not spray any type of cleaner or pour water on the Dash Camera.
The double sided tape may fail and allow the Dash Camera to fall.
• Videos recorded when there is water on the windshield or when it is dirty may
result in unclear images.
• When cleaning the windshield, do not pull on the Dash Camera or the cord
with excessive force. The Dash Camera may come off. (Please consult your
dealership if it comes off).
• This Dash Camera acquires date and time via GPS. If the date, time, and/or
location of the recorded data is wrong, or if the location fails to change, consult
the dealership.
• When the vehicle battery is removed, the time is reset to the correct time
at the next startup, when GPS data is received. After the battery has been
reconnected, confirm that the GPS data has been received correctly by
checking the recorded video file name and the location.
Market: Canada

TOYOTA — DASH CAMERA Page 7

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Due to the properties of the camera’s lens, people and objects on the screen
may appear to be in a position and distance which may differ from their actual
position and distance.
Blooming phenomenon: When a bright object (sun, headlight, etc.) is recorded,
white saturation occurs around the light.
• Do not scratches to camera surface may allow humidity or moisture inside,
causing malfunction, fire, and/or electric shock.
• Do not touch the camera lock dial. Doing so may prevent it from recording in
the required angle.
• Do not wipe the Dash Camera with alcohol, benzene, thinner, gasoline, or
other volatile chemicals. Doing so may cause deformation, deterioration, or
other damage.
• When the camera lens is dirty, lightly wipe the lens with a soft cloth soaked in
water. Rubbing the lens roughly with a dry cloth may cause scratching.

Handling SD Cards
• When using a micro SD card for the Dash Camera, always use a genuine
micro SD card or the micro SD card provided with the Dash Camera. Micro
SD card provided with the Dash Camera is industrial grade with longer life
compared to other commercially available micro SD cards. The Dash Camera
may not operate properly if another type of micro SD card is used.
• Do not save data other than that recorded by this Dash Camera to the micro
SD card. Otherwise, videos may not be recorded properly.
• Confirm that the Dash Camera is off (LED is off) when inserting/ejecting the
micro SD card. Do not insert/eject a micro SD card while the Dash Camera is
running. Doing so may damage the micro SD card.
• Never eject the micro SD card while the Dash Camera is accessing the card
(LED is on or blinking). Doing so may damage not only the micro SD card but
also the Dash Camera itself.
• Do not insert a hand or a finger in the micro SD card slot. Doing so may result
in injury.
• Do not insert any foreign material into the card slot for the micro SD card.
Doing so may cause a fire or electrical shock.

INTRODUCTION

The Toyota Genuine Dash Camera is designed to provide a safe and memorable
driving experience in your Toyota vehicle. Safely record the on-goings of the
open road while keeping your eyes on the road. Never miss a moment in motion;

English
capture it! The Toyota Genuine Dash Camera will also allow you to record the
surroundings of your vehicle while it is parked.

Personal safety, as well as security for your Toyota vehicle, is our top priority.
The Dash Camera is safely installed on your front windshield. The camera will
automatically save and record data after impact in the event of a crash. The
camera automatically starts when the ignition power is on. When the vehicle is
stationary, you can access videos and change the settings via your smartphone
app or on your computer by inserting the camera’s microSD card.

The Dash Camera features a number of different recording modes:

The Infinite Loop: With a high quality, industrial grade micro SD card, the
footage will continuously record up to 170 minutes of 1080p HD footage
(Standard mode, Bit rate: 6.2 Mbps) in an infinite loop, allowing you to capture
every moment of your drive. The accompanying software will allow you to save
any footage to your smartphone using Wi-Fi data transmission or simply take the
microSD card out of the camera to save your files to your computer.

Incident Recording: With the help of the G-sensor impact detection, the footage
will automatically lock on the microSD card for retrieval at a later time and you will
not have to worry about anything else but the safety of everyone involved.

Parking Surveillance: Shortly after impact, the


Dash Camera will record up to 60 seconds following
the impact and the file will be locked on the microSD
card.

Interesting event recording: At the push of a


button, automatically save 12 seconds before and
8 seconds after an event.

Adventure Mode: With Adventure mode, you


can manually save up to an hour of footage at the
highest quality video setting.

DASH CAMERA OPERATION

2 Calibration

When the calibration is not set, the buzzer sound of continuous high-tone long

English
beep sounds at the time of startup. (See page 14.)
1. Park vehicle on flat surface. While holding down the ACTION button, turn on
the ignition.

2. Keep holding down the ACTION button for three seconds or longer.
When the calibration is set properly, a double high-tone short beep will sound.
If the buzzer does not sound, set the calibration again.

3 Starting

The power of the Dash Camera is linked to the ignition key of the vehicle.
While the power of the Dash Camera is off, confirm that the micro SD card is
inserted.

1. Turn on the ignition key or the ignition of the vehicle.

The power turns on, and the REC LED (green) of the Dash Camera starts
blinking and then turns on. (ERROR LED (amber) turns off)
When you hear a short and high-tone beep, startup is finished. However, if the
buzzer setting is changed, the buzzer does not sound. (See page 39 and 57.)

NOTE
• Just after formatting the micro SD card (See page 47.), the Dash Camera
creates files that are necessary for recording the videos. Therefore, the time
until completion of the startup becomes longer.
• Recording a video is not ready until startup is done. The Dash Camera starts
recording just after startup is finished.

5 Recording Video and Audio

This Dash Camera is a constant-recording type drive recorder. The Dash Camera
is turned on when the vehicle ignition is turned ON. When startup is done, the
Dash Camera starts recording video and audio (if microphone switch is turned
on). The REC LED (green) lights on while recording. When the ignition key or the
ignition is turned off, recording is stopped. This Dash Camera has special video
event recording modes to capture and protect important videos.

While driving, recorded videos are automatically protected when the Dash
Camera detects a strong shock (Event Protection Function – Automatic) or
the ACTION button on the main body is pressed (Event Protection Function –
Manual, or Adventure Mode).

While vehicle is parked and vehicle ignition is OFF, video is recorded when the
Dash Camera detects an abnormal vibration or shock (Parking Surveillance
Function).

When the micro SD card is full, older videos are deleted and overwritten by new
ones in the unit of "Chapter" files (except event-protected video files). Event-
protected video files are explained below:

●● EVENT PROTECTION FUNCTION - AUTOMATIC (Up to Ten Videos)


When the Dash Camera detects a shock during the normal recording, the Dash
Camera outputs two short high-tone beeps and protects 20 seconds of recorded
video: 12 seconds before and 8 seconds after the shock is detected.

●● EVENT PROTECTION FUNCTION - MANUAL (Up to Five Videos)


Press the ACTION button of the main body during the normal recording.
A short high-tone beep sounds, and the total of 20 seconds of video is protected
which include the video for 12 seconds before and 8 seconds after the ACTION
button is pressed.

DASH CAMERA OPERATION

●● ADVENTURE MODE (Up to approx. 87 min: Standard mode)


Hold down the ACTION button for more than 1 second during the normal
recording.

English
The Dash Camera outputs three short high-tone beeps and protects the recorded
video for the set maximum recording time of the Adventure mode starting from
the time when the button is pressed.
While recording in the Adventure mode, holding the ACTION button for more than
1 second will output three short high-tone beeps and ends the Adventure mode.
Adventure mode will automatically end if allocated time has been reached and
will be output beep sounds.

NOTE
• The recording times in the standard recording and the Adventure mode vary
depending on the selected image quality.
• The maximum recording time in the Adventure mode is about half of the
maximum recording time in the standard recording.
• When the Adventure Mode is turned off, the protection of recorded video up
to that point will be cancelled.
• When the memory allocation of the computer or smart phone viewer is
changed, partial protection of the video recorded up to that point will be
canceled.
(For example, if you change the recording time from 87 minutes to
30 minutes, approximately 30 minutes of your latest video recording will be
protected, but anything recorded prior to that will be overwritten.)
• The settings can be changed by the viewer software for computer (See page
38.) or the viewer application for smartphones (Android/iPhone) (See page 57.).

●● PARKING SURVEILLANCE FUNCTION (Up to Ten Videos)


When an abnormal vibration and/or a shock is detected while the car is parked,
the video is recorded for 60 seconds from the time of the detection. The recorded
video is protected.
Normal Wake-Up:
When the car is parked, if an unusual vibration or shock is detected, it starts
recording after 4 seconds for about 60 seconds and protects the recorded video.
Quick Wake-Up:
When the car is parked, if an unusual vibration or shock is detected, it starts
recording from that point for 60 seconds and protects the recorded video.
NOTE
• The settings can be changed by the viewer software for computer (See page
