Important!

Tips on capturing the best footage

• Position the camera so that it does not distract or obstruct the driver’s view (we recommend behind the rearview mirror).
•  Ensure both the inside and outside of the windscreen are clean and dry so the mount adheres securely.
• The camera’s view should not be obstructed, ensure it is within the ‘wiper zone’.
•  Angle the camera so the amount of sky in the camera view is reduced. Too much sky will cause the camera to overexpose and make the road appear darker.
• We recommend formatting your microSD card at least once every two weeks, this will ensure invisible memory is cleared and reduce the risk of file corruption. Formatting the card will completely wipe all data from the card, back up any files you wish to keep before formatting.
• Switch the camera off before removing the microSD card to prevent any damage to the card.
• The Muvi KZ2 supports microSD cards with up to 128GB capacity. We recommend using a U3 grade card from a well-known brand such as SanDisk, Toshiba, or Samsung.

Warning
DO NOT try to adjust the camera position or try to access or change the camera settings whilst driving. Use the camera safely and according to the laws in your country. You use this camera at your own risk.

Installing the KZ2

• Ensure both the inside and outside of the windscreen are clean and dry so the mount adheres securely and the camera’s view is not obstructed.
• Position the camera so that it will not obstruct the driver’s view (we recommend behind the rearview mirror).
• Stick the mount into position, ensuring it is fully secure.

Charging the KZ2

Before using the Muvi KZ2 for the time it is essential that the camera is fully charged. Using the supplied 12v cable connects the camera to the vehicle’s 12v output port. We recommend leaving the camera connected to a power source when in use.

Video recording

During normal operation, the camera will automatically start recording when the vehicle engine is switched on and stop recording when the engine is switched off. The footage will be automatically saved to the microSD card. Should you need to start recording manually press the ‘OK’ button when on the camera home screen. The video timer will start indicating that the camera is recording. Press the ‘OK’ button again to stop recording. If you are involved in a collision the G-sensor function will be triggered, this will lock the camera footage for 5 seconds before and after the incident. This footage will then be protected from being overwritten by the loop recording feature.

Playback mode
To playback recorded footage using the Muvi KZ2 set the camera to ‘Record/Photo/Stand-by’ mode then press and hold the ‘Right/Down’ button for 3 seconds (approx). Once in playback mode, use the ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ buttons to scroll through the footage, then press the ‘OK’ button to view the selected footage.

Photo capture
When the camera is in ‘Record/Photo/Stand-by’ mode press and hold the menu button to toggle between Record/Photo/Stand-by. Once in Photo mode press the ‘OK’ button to take a single photo.

Timed and Automatic photo capture
Timed photo mode has settings of 3, 5, 10, or 20 seconds. When this mode is enabled it lets you set an interval from when the ‘OK’ button is pressed to a single photo is taken. It takes one photo only. Automatic photo mode has settings of 3, 10, 15, 20, or 30 seconds. When this mode is enabled it lets you set an interval from when the ‘OK’ button is pressed to a single photo is taken. It takes continuous photos until you click the ‘OK’ Button again to stop. These two modes can not be used together.

Using a microSD card

Before using a new microSD card you will need to format the card using the camera, you can do this in the camera settings. We recommend formatting your microSD card at least once every two weeks, this will ensure invisible memory is cleared and reduce the risk of file corruption. Formatting the card will completely wipe all data from the card, back up any files you wish to keep before formatting. If formatting through a computer, the card should be in FAT32 format. Supports microSD cards with up to 128GB capacity. We recommend using a U3 grade card from a well-known brand such as SanDisk, Toshiba, or Samsung. Please note Veho is not responsible for the loss of any data.

Transferring footage
To transfer footage from the Muvi KZ2 onto your PC using the USB data cable. Connect the camera to your PC and switch the camera on, your PC will recognize the camera as a third-party device use File Explorer to access the footage. Alternatively, use a microSD card reader.
