This clear documentation simplifies the claims process, expedites insurance settlements, and assists law enforcement authorities in reconstructing events and determining fault.

Step 4: Hold the Steady Back Side

Hold the CPL filter between your thumb and index finger, with the back side - the side with the threaded ring - firmly in place. This part of the filter is designed to screw onto the pre-threaded lens of your R2-4K PRO Dash Cam, ensuring a secure and stable attachment.With this note, users will have a clear understanding that the front part of the CPL filter is the adjustable part responsible for reducing glare, while the back side remains steady and serves to attach the filter securely to the dash cam's lens.

Step 5: Align the Threaded Ring and Start Screwing On

Align the threaded ring of the CPL filter with the pre-threaded lens of the R2-4K PRO Dash Cam. While securely holding the back side of the filter, start screwing the CPL filter onto the lens in a clockwise direction until it is firmly attached.

Step 6: Power on Dash Cam

Once the CPL filter is securely attached, power on your R2-4K PRO Dash Cam.

Step 7: Rotate the Front Part

Now that the CPL filter is in place, you can rotate the front part of the filter to adjust the polarization effect.

Step 8: Place a White Piece of Paper

To test the CPL filter's effect, place a small white piece of paper on the dashboard, away from the windshield, creating a reflection visible in the camera's viewfinder.

Step 9: Adjusting for Glare Reduction - Rotating the Front Part

Focus on the dash cam display and gradually rotate the front side of the CPL filter. Observe for any glare caused by the reflection from the white paper in the viewfinder. Continue rotating the filter until the glare is significantly reduced or disappears. Experiment with different angles to find the optimal position that effectively reduces glare while maintaining image quality.

With this note, users will understand that the white paper reflection is not always entirely avoidable due to various factors, and the aim is to achieve the best possible reduction based on their specific preferences and environmental conditions.

Step 10: Test the CPL Filter

Once you have adjusted the CPL filter, remove the white piece of paper. Take a few test recordings in different lighting conditions to ensure the CPL filter provides the desired glare reduction and enhances overall video quality.
