Wiring Diagram
WIRING NOTES
• Please make sure that the correct reverse / front camera is connected to the correct camera
input on the wiring harness, otherwise the cameras may not appear according to the
NG7’s software sequence.
• Please make sure you connect the reverse trigger wire in order for the reverse camera to
appear on the screen when reverse gear is selected (you can still access caravan camera
whilst the car is in reverse as well, please see page 10).
• If you are connecting a caravan camera to the NG7, please see page 19 to make sure the
setting is switched on.
• If you are connecting a front camera, please see page 19 to make sure the setting is
switched on and to nominate a time interval for the front camera to appear after
reverse gear has been disengaged.
• The illumination wire is to be connected in order for the screen to dim when the vehicle’s
headlights are switched on.
• We recommend mounting the GPS external antenna on the dash either in the top left or
top right hand corner.
• Constant power is needed (yellow) so that the date and time holds its setting for the DVR
function.
• Please make sure you connect the GPS external antenna, otherwise the NG7 will not pick
up any satellites.
If you have any questions in regards to the wiring of the NG7, please do not hesitate to give
us a call on 1300 555 514.

2. Open the desired folder (photo or recording).
3. Click on the footage required and simply drag and drop onto your computer.
You will notice that the SD card has multiple video files, this is normal. This is to make it easier for you to
find your desired footage rather than having to filter through one long recorded video.
Warning: If you rename any of the files on the SD card, it will automatically lock the footage. These files
will not be recorded over when you insert the SD card back into the NG7.

Setup
Date & Time
It is important to make sure that the date and time is set correctly as it will affect what date and time
appears on your dash cam footage.
You can either set the date and time up manually or you can choose to set it up so that date and time
syncs with the navigation time.
Important: If your area has switched over to daylight savings, you will need to change the UTC+ time
accordingly otherwise the wrong date and time may appear on your dash cam footage. Please see below
the correct
daylight savings UTC+ times:
+11:00 Canberra, Sydney, Hobart, Melbourne.
+10:30 Adelaide.
Once daylight savings has ceased, please change it back to the correct UTC+ time.
Set the correct UTC+ time applicable to your location.

Important: The NG7 will remember the date and time as long as you have picked up constant power,
please see wiring diagram located on page 3 for further reference.
Set the correct UTC+ time applicable to your location.
Syncing date and time with the GPS time
Please refer to page 20 for correct daylight savings UTC times.
Once you have set the correct UTC+ time, press GPS time:
Important: Please be aware that if you opt for this setting, the date and the time will not be correct
until the GPS picks up satellite. if something does occur within this time frame, the date and time may be
incorrect on the footage. We suggest still setting it manually as well but instead of pressing ok once set,
press GPS time. Once the unit picks up satellite, it will override the manual setting.
