Congratulations on purchasing the RoadHawk HD vehicle camera system.
The RoadHawk HD is designed to be mounted to the windscreen of your vehicle and to record video, GPS, audio and G- Force data on a constant loop. As soon as the RoadHawk HD camera is powered up, it will start recording automatically. If you vehicle has this then please experiment mounting the camera in different positions. The RoadHawk HD has an external GPS antenna input which will help in cases of poor GPS reception. Sudden changes of brightness such as entering or exiting a tunnel or extremely dark place may cause a temporary loss in video quality. If you pull SD card out during power on status, it may cause malfunction or data loss.
Welcome to the RoadHawk Support Portal. RoadHawk HD-2 Dash Cam. RoadHawk Multi-Camera Systems.
The RoadHawk HD will chime after the power is removed to let you know it is safe to remove the SD Card. NORMAL video will start recording as soon as the camera is powered on. After each segment of video is recorded the RoadHawk saves the file to the SD card and instantly starts recording a new file.
These files can be linked together in any normal video editing software. EVENT has taken place. When any part of the SD card becomes full the RoadHawk HD will start to overwrite the earliest files.
The amount of EVENT files and NORMAL video files you can store on the SD card before they start to overwrite will depend on the video quality settings and the size of the SD card you are using. LOOP record until the power to the camera is stopped.
RoadHawk HD can only loop record if the file size is set to 1 minute. If the file size is set greater than 1 minute then the RoadHawk HD will stop recording when the SD card becomes full. Installing the RoadHawk camera: The RoadHawk camera is fitted with a very wide angled lens. This is to capture as much as what is happening in front of you as possible. 10 EASY INSTALL STEPS.
Choose an area towards the top of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror for the camera to sit. Run the cable around the side of the dashboard and underneath towards the cigarette lighter socket. Use the cable ties to hide any remaining cable behind the dash. Attach the camera to the mount and face it forwards. Keep the camera as level as possible. (in a Truck or Bus, aim the camera slight down) Plug the power cable in to the camera. Start driving with RoadHawk total video and data protection.
Now you have the RoadHawk camera installed, it will start to work when you next start driving. If you have installed the RoadHawk camera correctly then it should be quite well hidden. Once you insert the SD card from the camera in to your computer it will list all the video files on that card on the right hand side of the screen. A USB card reader is supplied with the RoadHawk HD. Just above the list of files you will see three buttons. EVENT, NORMAL and ALL. EVENT: will list only the files that have been created by the camera because of an EVENT.
This could be a collision, a pothole or a manual event created by pressing the E button on the camera. NORMAL: Will display only NORMAL video files created by the camera, this should be your normal everyday driving. Main video window: This will display the forward facing video recorded by the camera according to the file that has been selected. You can scrub through the video by clicking on the position bar at the bottom of this window.
MAP: Below the list of video files you will see the MAP. Please note: Due to varying road positions and the possibility of GPS signals bouncing around in a built up area the vehicle may not always be shown directly on top of the road the vehicle was driving on. This will improve as maps are updated over time. G-Force display: Below the main windows is a G-Force Meter display. The software supplied with the RoadHawk HD camera can be used to create the “configuration.txt” file. If the “configuration.txt” file is not found on the SD card when you first turn the camera on it will default to the last known settings. File Length: Can be set to 1, 5, 10, 15 or 30 mins.

Once the chosen file length has been reached by the camera, it will automatically start to record the next file. NOTE: Setting the file length to more than 1 minute will not allow the camera to operate in LOOP mode.
Camera LEDS: Record LED: Will light red when the camera is recording normal video. It will flash red when the camera is recording an EVENT. GPS LED: Will light green when the camera has a GPS lock. If this does not light up, the camera is not receiving a GPS signal. This will be indicated by the GPS light not illuminating.
A magnetic GPS antenna is included for the RoadHawk HD Camera. Use of this antenna is optional but will help the camera to get a faster, more accurate signal from the Global Positioning Satellites. Important Notice: When the RoadHawk is in EVENT + NORMAL mode it reserves 40% of the available memory on the SD card for EVENTS. The remaining 60% is kept for normal loop recording.
If for any reason you are involved in an accident that does NOT trigger the camera to make an EVENT and you keep driving with the camera running then you can potentially record OVER the bit of video you need to use. I inserted the SD card, nothing is happening. The software looks for files made by the camera. If the card has not been used in a RoadHawk camera or if the files have been deleted by the user or if the SD card has recently been formatted then the software will not do anything. The MAP display has changed/does not look the same. RoadHawk reserves the right to change the way the mapping data is displayed.

The speed of the vehicle is not being displayed correctly. Ensure you have the MPH/KPH setting correctly selected. Clicking on the speed display will change the unit from MPH to KPH. The SD card is only holding a few EVENTS and not much of my journey. Using the highest quality settings available the RoadHawk HD can use up to 8gb of data per hour of recording. Using an SD card with a small capacity coupled with a high quality setting will seriously limit how much video you can store on your SD card.
