Use Rear Camera Only on the XR-1 (No Front Camera)

This article applies to the CHIGEE XR-1 dash cam.
Yes, you can use the XR-1 with only the rear camera connected. Simply plug in the rear camera cable, and the XR-1 will record normally with the rear camera only. Follow the guidelines below to ensure proper setup:

1. Cable Connection

  • The cable labeled "cam b" must be connected to the rear camera port.
  • Make sure to match the "cam b" label on the cable to the corresponding port.
  • Do not connect it to the front camera port.

2. Unused Front Camera Port

  • If you do not plan to use the front camera, leave its cable unconnected.
  • Protect the unused connector with a cover, such as electrical tape or a dust cap.
  • This prevents dust accumulation or potential damage to the port.
