Instrucon Manual

Congratualons to buying this sophiscated 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 HD-Quality with 720 P.

When the CARcam is connected with the 12V Cigaree lighter it automacally starts recording when

the engine is powered on and stops recording when the motor is turned oﬀ. Cars with permanent

power supply in the cigaree lighter require to detach the cable to turn oﬀ recording.

The Camera allows to make loop-recording. You can set the camera to take 2, 5, 10 minutes video

clips. As soon as the (oponal) micro-SD card is full, the oldest video sequence is automacally

over-wrien.

The built-in Gravity-Sensor detects shock and protects video ﬁles against being over-wrien.

(Black-Box Funcon).

The video quality of 720 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 8 to 10 yards distance.

JOBO is a 90 years old photo company and we wish you relaxed and safe driving with the JOBO

Carcam.

Safety Instrucons

This camera is designed for in-car operaon Please keep it free from dirt and water. Do not expose to

extreme temperatures or rapid temperature change. In spite of the robust design this camera is a

high-tech-product. Please handle with care.

Product Care

Before ﬁrst operaon please connect the camera with power from the car charger. For operaon it is

mandatory to insert an (oponal) micro SD card in to the CARcam (17).

Depending on the camera seng the camera will instantly start video recording. If you wish to stop

recording – please press the R/OK Key (4) to end recording.

The camera is opmized for taking videos. In case of need the camera can be set to photo mode (6) to

allow sll image recording with 1.3 MP quality.

Inial Operaon

Please press the MENU key (6), to open the menu oons.

With the DOWN key (7) and UP key (8) you can easily navigate through the menu opons. Please

press the OK-key (4) to conﬁrm a menu opon.

VIDEO sengs: (Video camera symbol)

1. Date / Time:

Before inial operaon we recommend you to set correct me and date. The me and date set here

can be recorded in the video and shown in play-back (see point 11 below).

Main Sengs (symbol of a wrench)

- 05 -

The most important sengs are described under 1, 4, 5, 7 below:

1. Resoluon:

You can choose 720 P resoluon with 25 or 30 fps. This is the opmum choice. To economise memory

space you can also choose the lower resoluon of 480P. The maximum resoluon of 1080 is an

interpolated size with only 15 fps and can lead to blurred images. We recommend to always use the

720 P seng.

2. Exposure:

Here you can set the camera to over expose with 1/3 or 2/3 aperture in case of strong facing light or

underexpose correspondingly depending on the lighng condions. Usually the default seng of +0/0

will lead to good results.

3. White Balance:

By default this is set to “auto”. Depending on very sunny, or cloudy weather or operaon in-door the

camera can be manually set to the corresponding environment.

4. Cyclic record (loop recording):

This important seng allows the camera to make loop recordings. You can set the camera to make 2,

5, or 10 minute video clips. Whenever the (oponal) micro SD card is full, the oldest recording loop

will be over-wrien. Loop recording can also be switched oﬀ.

In the normal On Screen Display (OSD) the loop recording is symbolized by a pictogram. The chosen

video sequence length is also indicated underneath the pictogram.

5. moon detecon:

If this feature is acvated, the camera will instantly start recording when turned on as soon as a

movement is detected within the viewing angle of the CARcam. Aer 10 seconds without moon

within viewing angle the camera recording is switched oﬀ again. As soon as a new movement is

detected the recording automacally restarts.

This allows for use of surveillance purposes as long as the camera baery is fully charged or as long as

the camera is connected to the car power supply.

When the moon detector is acvated the pictogram of a runner is shown in the OSD.

6. recording:

The sound recording can be acvated or deacvated. If sound recording is acvated the pictogram of

a microphone is shown in the OSD.

7. regular OFF-screen

This funcon allows you to acvate auto-power oﬀ of the display aer 2, 5, or 10 minutes of making

no camera sengs. If this seng is acvate the camera will not power oﬀ. Only the display will be

blank while the camera will sll be operang. We recommend to keep this funcon deacvated.

2.Auto Power oﬀ:

With this seng you can acvate complete auto-power oﬀ of the camera aer 2, 5, or 10 minutes of

making no camera sengs. If this seng is acvate the camera will completely power oﬀ. We do not

recommend you to acvate this opon.

3. Beep Sound:

The beep sound during menu operaon can be acvated or deacvated.

4. language:

You can choose any of the following languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italienisch,

Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, and Russian.

5. TV-Mode:

You can choose between the European PAL-Standard or the American NTSC seng.

6.Hz / Frequency:

Here you can choose between the European 50 Hz or the American USA 60 Hz video frequency.

Depending on this seng the camera will make recordings eiher with25 or with 30 frames per second

(fps).

7. Format:

This feature allows you to (re-)format the micro-SD card inserted into the camera. We do recommend

you to reformat any new micro-SD card. Please make sure to use micro-SD cards of Class 4 standard or

higher.

8. Default Seng:

This funcon allows you to reset the camera to factory sengs. All manual menu sengs will get lost

when the camera is reset to factory sengs.

9. Image Flip:

In case the camera is mounted up-side down this feature allows you to record in ﬂip-mode so that

play-back will be shown up-side up.

10. Date Stamp:

This feature was developed speciﬁcally for dash cams. If acvated the video will record the date and

me of the recording and show it as a me-stamp during play-back. This allows for automac date

and me documentaon as long as date and me have been correctly set before making recordings

(see above point 1).

11. Version:

This menu point shows the currently installed ﬁrm ware version.

12. G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor):

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-wrien. This will avoid important recordings from being lost (“Black-Box-Funcon”). We

recommend to acvate this funcon, especially when making cyclic recordings (loop recordings). If the

G-Sensor is acvated this is indicated by a pictogram of a car with illustrated vibraon.

As menoned at the start this camera is opmized for video recording. The photo funcon allows for

similar menu sengs as the video funcon. Due to the opmizaon on video performance the photo

resoluon is limited to the nave sensor size of 1.3 MP. If a resoluon of 3 MP or 5 MP is chosen this

is an interpolated resoluon only and will not signiﬁcantly enhance the actual photo resoluon.
