orientation markings (gold contacts facing the back of the device). Push the memory card until it
clicks into place.
Do not remove or insert the memory card when the iN-CAR CAM is powered on, this may
damage the memory card.

Note:

- Use the edge of a small coin (or similar object) to push the memory card in place if required, a
second push inwards will release the memory card.-

2. Attach the iN-CAR CAM to the supplied windscreen mount, taking care the locking tab has
‘clicked’ firmly into place and plug the aerial cable connector into the socket marked GPS.

3. Remove the protective plastic film from the suction pad. Select suitable position for the mount and
clean windscreen with a dry / clean cloth to achieve good contact between the glass and mount,
while pushing the suction cup onto the glass turn the locking wheel clockwise to secure the mount
to the windscreen, ensure placement of the GPS mount is such that the GPS aerial is not
obstructed by the roof of the vehicle.
Please ensure that once mounted the iN-CAR CAM lens is located within the area of the vehicles
windscreen wipers to maintain a clear view during rainfall.

4. Connect the supplied car adaptor to mini-USB socket of the iN-CAR CAM and then plug the
car adaptor into the 12-24Vdc outlet of your vehicle. The device will automatically power on and
start recording once power is available.
In some vehicles this will be when connection is made, for others the device will power on once

INSTALLATION (CONTD.)

12-24V DC

Note:

- Your iNCAR-CAM is shipped with the Screen Saver function set to Default OFF. This is for ease of
initial setup.
Once setup is complete, the screen saver should be set to 10 seconds, in order to blank the screen
completely whilst driving. This avoids any potential distraction and may be a legal requirement in
some countries.

- It is recommended to position your iN-CAR CAM on the passenger side of the car, behind the rear
view mirror, as shown above. Whilst the camera needs to be located in a position within the wiper
swept area, do not allow the camera to obstruct your vision of the road ahead. Recommended
position is no more than 40mm within the wiper swept area.

- Do NOT mount the camera directly in front of the driver.

- Do not place the iN-CAR CAM in such a way that it may interfere with the deployment of air bags
or other safety equipment.

- Do not operate the unit while driving.

- To reduce the risk of theft, remove the unit and the mount from your vehicle, or position out of sight,
before leaving your vehicle unattended.

- In vehicles where the 12V / 24V output remains on when ignition is turned off please disconnect the
device when not in use.

- The supplied car adaptor has a 4m long cable to allow cable to placed neatly within the vehicle.
Make sure that the iN-CAR CAM power cable does not interfere with the drivers operating controls,
such as the steering wheel, pedals or gear levers.
