Instruction Manual
Congratulations to buying this sophisticated product! The JOBO
CARcam encorporates modern technology and user-friendly
design to enhance safety in traffic and enjoyment of driving. The
JOBO CARcam records movies in Full-HD-Quality with 1080 P.
When the CARcam is connected with the 12V Cigarette lighter it
automatically starts recording when the engine is powered on
and stops recording when the motor is turned off. Cars with
permanent power supply in the cigarette lighter require to
detach the cable to turn off recording.
The Camera allows to make loop-recording. You can set the
camera to take 3, 5, 10 minutes video clips. As soon as the
(optional) micro-SD card is full, the oldest video sequence is
automatically over-written.
The built-in Gravity-Sensor detects shock and protects video files
against being over-written. (Black-Box Function).
The video quality of 1080 P in H.264 codec allows for a most
economical use of memory capacity whilst offering enough
details to read a license plate from approximately 10 to 15 yards
distance.
JOBO is a 90 years old photo company and we wish you relaxed
and safe driving with the JOBO Carcam.

This is a very important feature, developed for dash cameras.
The built-in Gravity sensor senses any impact and will protect the corresponding video file against being over-
written. This will avoid important recordings from being lost (“Black-Box-Function”). We recommend to activate
this function, especially when making cyclic recordings (loop recordings). If the G-Sensor is activated this is
indicated by a pictogram of a car with illustrated vibration.
9. GPS- Global positioning sensor
This setting allows you to turn off or on the GPS receiver. It has to be turned on to display your current speed in

12. Date Stamp:
This feature was developed specifically for dash cams. If activated the video will record the date and time of the

long as date and time have been correctly set before making recordings (see above point 1).
13. Version:
This menu point shows the currently installed firm ware version.
Photofeatures:
As mentioned at the start this camera is optimized for video recording. The photo function allows for similar menu
settings as the video function. Due to the optimization on video performance the photo resolution is limited to the
native sensor size of 1.3 MP. If a resolution of 3 MP or 5 MP is chosen this is an interpolated resolution only and
will not significantly enhance the actual photo resolution.
