Installation
Where to Mount Your Unit
You will get optimum performance from your camera if you mount it on the front
windshield, behind the rear-view mirror. This will minimize the impact on the driver’s
line of sight. You’ll also want to keep the camera centered and angle the bracket to
optimize the camera’s view of the road ahead.
Installation
Windshield Mounting
Peel the plastic lm off of the suction cup.
Position the mounting bracket above the camera as
shown. Rotate the vertical support knob clockwise
for 2-3 full rotations until it captures the camera
rmly.
To adjust the angle to the road, if necessary, loosen
the angle locking knob above. Turn the camera so
that it has a clear view of the road, ahead. Tighten
the knob when done.
Press the Suction Cup rmly onto the windshield.
Push down on the lever to lock the suction cup in
place.
