Howen MC30 dashcam configuration

To be able to connect to the device, you need to power it up with a 24V power source (be advised that a 12V power source will not do for it).
Once the dashcam is on, you will hear a short beep sound from it. After that, you will have 3 minutes to connect to the device's WiFi with a smartphone for the further configuration. The WiFi's default password is 12345678.
