About HD PRO Mark II Camera The HD Pro Mark II is designed to automatically turn ON when it receives power to the DC IN port. It also automatically shuts down and records for a second when the power is shut off (to avoid any sudden power cuts and possibly corrupting data). Under default settings the camera always cycles or "loops" the memory card so you will always be recording and never run out of space. Motion Sensor function should remain OFF under normal operating conditions.

Setting Up for First Time Use Optimal installation location and wire routing. Card Requirements Resolution and bit rate of video files required a good quality SD card. The camera requires a minimum Class 10 SD Card. We recommend using a "high endurance micro sd card". Regular SD cards (such as Sandisk Ultra are NOT supported and may cause issues).
1. Install the memory Card Into the card (If you have trouble use a penny to push it in.) Memory card not included. 2. Remove the protection tape from the Fixed Plate and install the Plate on the Windshield Glass. (We recommend cleaning the installation area with rubbing alcohol).

Stealth Hardwiring If you would like a stealth install that you never have to worry about, we sell a hardwire kit. You can use it to tap into your "Accessory" wire and the camera turns on and off with the vehicle. You never have to remember to turn it on. Using a hardwire kit requires some basic technical skills. Depending on your vehicle, you can route the wires to the back of your cigarette lighter or fuse panel.
