Dashcam is a video camera mounted on the dashboard or windscreen of a vehicle. It continuously records the view of the road and traffic through the windscreen.
Dashcam Pro 2K is useful as it provides video evidence in the below mentioned scenarios-
- Car Accidents
- Insurance Claims
- Incorrect Challans
- Journey Vlogging
- Connect the Dashcam to the power adaptor and insert the adaptor into the car charger socket. Insert SD card into the SD slot for installation.
- Turn on car ignition and check if the Dashcam shows a Red LED. The device will announce, "Qubo Dashcam is ready for Setup. Please follow the instructions from the Qubo App." Download the App and follow the steps.
- Clean the windshield area where the Dashcam will be installed.
- Remove the protective film from the adhesive and attach the Dashcam on the windshield, ensuring it doesn't block the driver's view.
- Re-attach the USB cable to the Dashcam. Use the pry tool to tuck in the cable properly behind the windshield/molding. Reconnect to the power adaptor and insert into the car charger socket.
After launching the App, follow on-screen instructions to install the Dashcam. The Dashcam creates a Wi-Fi hotspot which connects automatically with the App. If not, enter the default password 12345678 from your Wi-Fi settings to connect.
No. The Dashcam needs Internet only in these cases:
- During installation (to link your account with the Dashcam on our cloud)
- When changing settings and syncing with other devices
- If you want to remove the device from your account
You have two options:
- Pull the device off from the adhesive stuck to the windscreen. (Adhesive will stay on the windscreen.)
- To remove the adhesive too, pull it strongly from one end until it comes off completely.
It's not mandatory, but we recommend installing the Dashcam in the car. The Dashcam needs a power source above 12V to function.
The Dashcam supports Mini USB Cable.
Mini USB Cable comes with six-months warranty.
Please check if the Dashcam is powered on. Sometimes it takes extra time. If it still doesn't connect, please reboot the device and try again.
Dashcam comes with a one-year warranty.
-5°C to 65°C.
No.
Use the Pry tool to tuck in the cable. Route the cables behind the vehicle heading, then behind the weather seal of the door, and bring the power cable inside the glove box for a concealed look.
Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto uses your phone's Wi-Fi hotspot. Disconnect them temporarily to connect your phone to the Dashcam for setup or viewing/downloading videos. Your Dashcam still records when the car's ignition is on, even if the phone isn't connected.
On Android, the phone usually switches to mobile data if Wi-Fi has no internet, or prompts you to switch. Older phones may not. In that case, disconnect your Wi-Fi so that mobile data works. Dashcam records whenever the car's ignition is on, even if your phone isn't connected.
The Dashcam requires a Micro SD card to record videos. It records continuously and you can access the footage with the Timeline Scrubber. It also generates event-based and trip-based recordings, accessible from Events and Trips tabs. Downloads are limited to 1-minute clips.
Yes, with a Micro SD card installed, the Dashcam records continuously. Event-based and trip-based recordings are also available. Each downloadable clip is 1 minute.
The Dashcam remains active for 1 minute after the car ignition is turned off. For longer recording when parked, a Hardwiring Kit is needed (sold separately).
No. The App shows all events and recordings only when connected to the Dashcam's Wi-Fi hotspot. When disconnected, only downloaded clips are available.
No. Real-time video access requires your phone to be connected to the Dashcam's Wi-Fi hotspot.
No. You must be connected to the Dashcam's Wi-Fi hotspot to view feed and recordings, even if you use the same login credentials.
The Dashcam uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery to maintain the correct timestamp after the car is off (standby time: 3 days). If your car isn't used for 3+ days or on first use, the battery may drain and the device loses track of time, causing wrong timestamps. To correct, reconnect the Dashcam to the app; it will auto-update the time for future videos.
The Dashcam may momentarily lose GPS signal due to network issues or when inside buildings. This is temporary and the signal usually returns quickly. There will be a beep sound once it reconnects.

Each time the car's ignition turns on, the Dashcam starts recording. It stops when the car is turned off. If the car is restarted within 5 minutes, it counts as the same trip. All trips can be viewed under the Trips tab.
If the ignition is off for less than 5 minutes, the recording is considered the same trip. If off for more than 5 minutes, a new trip starts.
Download the video first. Once it appears in your phone's Gallery, you can forward or rewind as needed.
