Thank you for posting this video. Everything was perfect. My camera came with POOR instructions, no photos, no explaination as to how to get to the menu buttons, simply a description of what the button functions are. Your video was a huge help. Excellent job.
Thanks a lot. I was just about to return it since the installation seemed to be sort of complicated and the instructions in the manual not helpful at all 😯
The SECOND time anyone installs something like this, they've learned from their mistakes ... OR you can find an excellent video with all the tips you need to avoid disaster ... Like bringing the front camera to the back of the car when you install the back camera! Thanks!! BTW your English is fine.
I bought the new version of the dash cam for our upcoming trip for my cousins wedding that we're driving to. I love road trips but I hate other drivers because they have no respect for other drivers that do care about getting to places safely or drivers who want to commit insurance fraud. Thank you for doing this video.
You are the best. Your instructions were so accurate, that they cannot get better than this. I just followed your steps and got the setup and the concealed wiring done in under one hour. A big THANK YOU. 👍👍
Very helpful. Clearly and simply presented as a guide and DIY installation. Check your vehicle first, the cables might run in areas/panels where airbags are and you have to be careful.
Very appreciative, I was looking for a good dual dash cam till I stumbled upon your video with detailed easy to understand instructions and demonstration. I think this will be my first choice. Thanks again
Thank you so much. I bought this F7N Dash Cam. Going to install this weekend. But wanted to tell you, my camera came with the tool you showed us on the video. That's a bonus. Again thank you.
This was a very helpful tutorial. I had my system installed quickly. RedTiger must have seen your video because my Plus system included the tool and adhesive channel management.
Thanks for this great video ! A question : if I set up the loop on 5 minutes and if I drive during 10 minutes : will be the first loop (first 5 minutes) deleted, or everything (both 5 minutes loops) is kept on the SD card till it will be full ?
Yes, absolutely. All recordings are kept on the SD card until it will be full. All saved video will be keep for ever though, until they are manually deleted, or the card is formatted.
Nice Car and Nice Walkthrough:) Bought the F7N here in India just last month have only temporarily installed yet and will be completely installing it this weekend. Thanks for the Video :D
It will drain the car's battery if you leave it plugged all the time. This is why it also has a ON/OFF button, so you can manually turn it off, if your cigarette plug stays on all the time. OR, you could get one of those devices with multiple cigarette plugs on them, which you can also control with a ON/OFF switch.
Just got this red tiger 4K dash cam and felt I needed a RUclips video for installation, since instructions aren’t to helpful kind of want to use rear camera for the side mirror for changing lanes instead since I already have a back up camera.
Thanks. I have had problems with the suction cup types falling off during the summer. I am in North Carolina. Since I won't be removing the cameras think I will take your advice and not use the square plastic pads.
Thanks I can now order one and instal it. It will get the plastic tools and 3m wire clips. Just for convenience I will put in a plug-in double power plug. Thanks for this video. Tiger should pay you for it.
Thank you very much… your video is very helpful. I am pretty much impressed with this camera but looks like the 4K front cam videos are choppy. Are those videos good or really choppy?
I only use it on HD mode, and not 4k mode. But if you see choppy video in playback, check also with another media player to be sure this issue doesn't come from your player.
Thanks for the guide. My annoyance was the the rear cam has about 10 feet too much cable which was a real pain to stuff away, and the main camera and power cable was juuuust barely long enough to reach!
Seriously, what a fantastic video! Thank you so much. I just bought this camera and this video made it look so easy, even for a guy like me who is mechanically declined. 🙂
Great video! Does the cable running from front camera to rear just supply power or is needed to communicate with the front as well? Or is it wifi? I ask because I have a lighter outlet near the back window I can use if it's only for power. Also I think this comes with the tool for hiding the cable now, is that correct? Thanks!
The cable that goes to the rear camera, is for the video feed from that camera to the main unit. The cable that runs from the cigarette plug to the main unit, is just for power though.
Awesome video. Do you need to have the dash cam connected to WiFi at all times in order for it to record or only when you want to look back at the video? Is the app where you would like at the videos? Thanks!
Ok, camera installed. The app works on iPad mini 4. But it won’t save files onto it when I try. It does have them in the app though. Default settings. Maybe the ipad can’t handle the 4K files? I also notice when watching playback on the app, the rear camera video looks better than the front camera.
You may want to check your dashcam setting to be sure the front cam resolution is set correctly. Also, I am not a big fan of Apple products myself, because they are often behind Android technology, and often aren't compatible with a lot of other gear. So, you mostly pay for the Apple brand itself at the end. So, I am not surprised to hear about your iPad not handling high resolution video files. I would try with another device if you could.
@@dronyland check front cam resolution? It was in factory settings.. with the highest res. I’ve since set it to the next one down… appears to be a little better…
Thanks a bunch for detailing everything! Helps a lot as dash cam shopping already overwhelms me! I also love the camera you’re using to shoot this video, what do you use?
Thank you for a great Video !! I just pick up this cam and this will help me . Just I have a SUV with a rear lift door hatch .:( . How is the long term on this unit ? thank again for this video
I am pretty happy with how nice the night vision works with this camera. GoPro aren't really made for night filming though, but more as a daylight action cameras.
You are right. I didn't even noticed this until you pointed it out. Although, I believe this was a editing frame-rate issue versus my camera framerate and the dashcam one. Playing the video on your computer from the MicroSD card of the dashcam is smooth and I never noticed any stutter.
Nice video, and I have a question about how to charge the camera. This is the first time I have received this sort of charging cable, do you have to purchase an additional charging unit to insert the adapter into, or can you simply plug it in your vehicle? Thank you.
You have to leave it plug into your vehicle for the camera to work. The battery is just there to keep the memory on the time & date, but don't do much without the 12v from the car.
Awesome and very helpful video. Do you know if it is easy to install the rear camera on an SUV that has more of a flat rear window? I’m thinking of buying this camera but don’t want to waste time and money having to return it if it won’t properly work with an SUV’s rear window.
The rear camera can be installed on any rear windows, as long as there is a window in the rear of the vehicle, and a way to mount the camera on top of it too.
Another video from the factory shows the clear plastic square pieces. Take the film off and stick them to your windshield(s) THEN attach the 3 M adhesive mount to the SQUARE PLASTIC PIECE you just mounted. NOT TO THE WINDSHIELD WITHOUT THE CLEAR SHEETS PUT IN PLACE FIRST! I got mine yesterday and browsed the instructions. Am sure that info is in it.
Thanks for the info. I was aware of those plastic sheets and their purpose during filming, but I decided to go without them because the 3M tape will have a much better grip on the windshield without those on the way, especially in hot weather area, like here in California.
I don't have any Apple devices, so hard to say something accurate about using the app on those. As for the MicroSD, you always want to install an "endurance" rated one in a dashcam, because of the constant write/erase. This one is the one I always go for: www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Endurance-MicroSDXC-Adapter-security/dp/B09WB1857W
Tres fantastic! I feel at home with the French accent. [born and spent 40 years in Coulommiers/Seine et Marne]. Timeless video of course as I just ordered mine. Lucky for me they are including a 32GB card right now for free and a $10 with free shipping. I will be mounting it with the suction cup however. Thank you.... Thank You.... C'est tres tres bien. Un bon video. PS: Love your Dog! Also, where would I buy that cable tool? Thanks. PS: they do include the tool now. But the set you recommended as much better.
Have you experienced the SD card getting filled because the loop feature doesn't work? I've read reviews that say this is a problem. I want to buy this but would prefer something you can set and forget. Also what can you say about the G-sensor mode? Too sensitive? Not sensitive enough? Does it record only 1 minute videos after a collision detection? Can it record for longer?
I never experienced this issue with mine. However, it's recommended with all dashcam to 1) Use a Micro-SD card rated for "endurance" 2) Format the card regularly using the dashcam menu (not on the computer). Hope that helps.
Amazon recommended a hardwire kit which requires me to connect it to where the car charger plugs into the dash cam itself. Did i need it? Or is there a way I can use it to connect to my trucks radio which has a pretty good size screen
Normally this kit includes all you need to install the dash-cam and be ready to go. The extra wiring kit was probably the optional kit for the parking monitor function if you want to use that.
Thanks for the demo. Please read and understand page 13 of the install manual and you will learn the function of the 2 Electrostatic Stickers. They facilitate the install. Regards :-)
I just got this camera. Every other dash cam I had , it stayed on while I was driving. This one turns off and I can't see any video while I'm driving. Is this normal for this dash cam, or do I have a faulty one?
The screen is may be set to turn off automatically after a certain time. Usually, it's called "screen timeout" or "screen saving" in the settings menu.
Then you have to mount the rear camera on another surface than the windows, so that it can still see through the rear windows, but it's not actually mounted on it. Worse come to worse, if you really want to mount it on your rear window, you could also make some kind of adapter to make the base of the rear camera work on flat straight windows surface.
Hi, I just want to ask that when I leave my car in public open parking, if someone crash my car, and engine is in turn off position. This incident will automatically recorded without my absence ??
The parking mode will only works if you get the proper (extra) kit for the camera, or find a way to connect it to a constant power source (but then have to turn it ON and OFF manually). The dashcam needs to have power to activate the parking mode. If not, then it will not record anything while the car is parked, and the camera is OFF.
Everything about this video was sensational from start to finish. Outstanding walk-through. Thank you!

Merci, explications claires. J'en ai acheté une et je vais la recevoir bientôt pour son installation.
This was an excellent video. Just the right amount of detail. Thank you VERY much! Keep up the great work. A+ 👍

I am using this portable power station: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09Q12NRYN

Great work ! Thanks (learned things about this cam that weren't clear in the manufacturer's manual)
Very informative video instructions. I found it very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to help others maneuver through this process.

So far it holds very well and handle the California heat like a pro too.
Nice job. How does it work at night? I have been using a gopro and it needs more light at night.

During the playback of the video it seemed to stutter, is that a dashcam recording issue or video editing issue?

The alternative in such case would be to hard wire the dashcam to your car. You can find many tutorial on RUclips how to do this.

How do you install the rear cam if you have an SUV with a vertical rear window, as in a Subaru Forester, for example?
Then you have to mount the rear camera on another surface than the windows, so that it can still see through the rear windows, but it's not actually mounted on it. Worse come to worse, if you really want to mount it on your rear window, you could also make some kind of adapter to make the base of the rear camera work on flat straight windows surface.

It's not as clear as the daylight video, but you can see the license plates well enough though.
