2) This user manual
3) Micro USB Charge and data transfer cable
4) CD disc to install the tracking and review software on a Windows® PC

MICRO SD CARD REQUIREMENTS
The NAVCAM-818SHD requires a Micro SD card (not included) to record video/ image content. For
optimal performance, we recommend using a Class 10 micro SD card UHS 3 (minimum) to ensure

USER MANUAL

OPERATING THE NAVCAM-818SHD FOR THE FIRST TIME
Connect a USB car charger to the car’s 12v (or trucks 24v) Cigarette lighter socket and the other
end to the Micro USB port on the NAVCAM-818SHD.
Insert a Micro SD card into the Micro SD slot and turn the device on. When the ignition is turned
on, the NAVCAM-818SHD will turn on.

POWER ON/ OFF (AUTO ON/ OFF)
When connected to power, the NAVCAM-818SHD will turn ON or OFF automatically when the car’s
ignition is turned ON or OFF. If the NAVCAM-818SHD does not turn off immediately it means the
device is completing the file save process before turning off (usually only a few seconds).
To turn the NAVCAM-818SHD ON, press and hold the power button on the side of the device to
ON. To turn off, press and hold the power button again.
If power is “constant on” (in some European vehicles), then the NAVCAM-818SHD will need to be
turned ON/ OFF manually using the power switch.

ABOUT GPSSIGNAL RECEPTION
For convenience, your NAVCAM-818SHD will automatically connect to GPSsatellites when in range.
Just like all PND (Portable Navigation Devices) this may take a few minutes (especially the first
time). The signal can also be affected by driving through tunnels for example. The GPSconnection
however will reconnect when the GPSsatellites come back into range.
Until GPSis re-connected, the following features may not be displayed properly:
-

The navigation map screen
Driving speed display
Safety alerts such as Red Light, Speed Cameras, School Zones etc.
Tracking details used by the GPSPlayer such as speed, longitude, Latitude and Date and Time.

Note: Schools zones by default are set to 8 – 9:30am and 2:30 – 4pm 40KpH and cannot be changed
with this model.

AUTO RECORD WHEN TURNED ON
When the NAVCAM-818SHD is turned on (via the auto on feature) the device will automatically
begin recording. To stop recording, press the OK button or turn the device OFF using the power
button.

RECORDING FILES
Turn on the NAVCAM-818SHD. Recording should start automatically, if not press the Video Camera
button. When recording has started, a RED dot will appear on the screen (next to the timer) as well
9

NAVCAM-818SHD

USER MANUAL

as a FLASHING BLUE LED indicator at the top right hand side of the unit. The screen will also display
a count up timer for the recording at the top.
The recorded files are saved to the memory or micro SD Card. Recording can be stopped, by either
pressing the OK button or by turning the car ignition off (stopping power to the device)
The NAVCAM-818SHD supports cycle recording. It will overwrite the oldest video files with new
ones. Depending on the size of the memory card and the speed rating of the card, there may be as
much as a 3 second pause whilst old files are selected and overwriting begins with newer files. This
pause time will not be recorded.

PLAYING BACK A RECORDED FILE
From the main screen (and while not recording), press the PLAY (Up arrow) button, then select the
source folder of the file ie. (Event or Normal Video). Then, select the video you wish to view using
the up and down arrow keys and the OK button to confirm.

DELETING A FILE
From the main screen (and while not recording), press Menu button two times to enter the file
deleting menu. Select whether you would like to delete from your delete-protected files (Event
Video) or from your normal files (Normal Video). Continue using the arrow keys and the OK button
to delete one or all files from the folder.
Note: Once files are deleted you cannot get them back.

AUTO BUMP FILE RECORD (G SENSOR) - SAVING RECORDING VIDEO FILES
Due to the “cycle recording” nature of this technology, older recorded files will be overwritten
(depending on the chosen resolution settings and the memory capacity of the memory card).
Alternately the G sensor will trigger an auto save lock if it senses a bump (sensitivity is selectable
via the user settings), so that the file being recorded is not overwritten in the cycle record process.
Such files will be saved to the folder called EVENT.

TAKING A STILL PICTURE
While not in record mode, press the CAMERA button. A “shutter” noise will then be heard to let
you know the image has been taken. The image will be saved to the memory card in the folder
called NORMAL.

OTHER SHORTCUTSFROM THE MAIN SCREEN
Preserve file: Press the arrow down button to preserve a file from being overwritten.

FAQ
Fault
The device has frozen /
stopped working.

The device will not start
recording, or stop recording or
has other intermittent faults
The speaker warning sounds
are a little loud. Can you turn
them off?
Device does not turn off

Cant playback the .MOV video
files
My video/ pictures of an
incident are NOT there

The date/ time is incorrect

Suggestion
Check the speed of your memory card. We recommend class
10 for faster transfer rates, especially If the record file size is
bigger (say 15 min recording increments at 1080Full HD).
Alternately, check the car’s internal temperature. The device
will enter standby mode if the ambient vehicle temperature is
below 0 or above 30 degrees C.
Most common cause of intermittent faults is an under rated
SD card. We recommend a class 10 card for this device as
recording at 4K resolution requires a superior speed card.
Yes. Just go the user settings screen and select speaker. Then
turn the speaker to OFF.
If in vehicle: check that the 12V socket is not still powered (on)
when the key is removed (as with some European cars).
Wait 10 seconds for file
finalization / closure. Disconnect
power lead to device
Upgrade your windows media player version or use an
alternate media player such as VLC media player
Check the capacity of your memory card, the files may have
been overwritten in the record cycle process. If the Bump file
record feature did not automatically preserve the footage, then
be sure to manually save the footage next time by pressing the
Reset the date / time in the settings menu. Otherwise check
that the time settings have been updated automatically via the
