Installing the Camera

» Make sure the surface is clean and dry in the installation area. Remove the red lm

from the adhesive mount. Position the camera on the windshield with the lens pointing
forwards and adjust the angle by rotating the camera body.

» We recommend installing the camera behind the rear view mirror to avoid obstructing

the driver’s view.

Page 11

» Turn on the ignition. The camera should power up and start recording automatically.

» Rear Camera: The external camera mounts to the inside of the rear window with

an adhesive pad. Centre the camera at the top of the window and adjust the angle

appropriately.

» Plug the power cable into the USB port on the camera. Route the cable neatly around

the edge of the windshield by tucking it into any available gap in rubber seal, roof liner
etc. Continue around the dashboard towards the 12/24v socket.
