1. Mount the GPS antenna in the centre of your
vehicle’s roof, away from roof bars or radio
antennas which can cause interference.
Note: If there is no metal underneath the antenna,
create a metallic ‘ground plane’ to get a reliable signal.
2. Push the antenna plug into the GPS socket.
4. Securely attach the forward facing camera
(marked HIGH RES) to the windscreen of your
car using the suction mount. If required, place the
Picture-in-Picture camera (marked LOW RES)
so that it faces the driver.
Note: The Video VBOX takes about 35 seconds to
boot up, at which point the unit will beep to indicate it
is ready to use.
Use the ‘Top’ label on the camera to align. For
more precise alignment, use either the optional
preview monitor, or Video VBOX Setup software
preview function using a USB connected laptop
(see manual).
Note: Ensure the camera marked HIGH RES is
connected to the CAM1 socket, and the one marked
LOW RES is in the CAM2 socket.

3. Insert the PWR connector and screw the metal
ring to lock it in place.
7. Place the vehicle so the antenna has a clear view of the sky. It can take up to two
minutes to acquire satellite lock, at which point the GPS LED will illuminate.
If your vehicle is in an open area and the unit is still having trouble gaining satellite lock,
press and hold the RECORD button for 5 seconds, this will perform a GPS
‘cold start’.
8. The default recording mode is ‘Record only when moving’. Once satellite lock has been
obtained, the unit will start recording every time the vehicle goes above 2.5km/h and
stop when the speed is less than 2.5km/h for 3 seconds.
9. This setting can be overridden by pressing the RECORD button. To go back into ‘Record
only when moving’ mode, either re-boot the unit, or re-insert the SD card.
NEVER eject the SD card if the RECORD LED is showing as this can corrupt video.
To stop recording, either come to a halt, press the RECORD button or disconnect the power
(the internal ‘tank circuit’ will stop the recording and safely close the file).

5. Two microphones are supplied as standard. Connect both using the audio splitter
cable, or connect a single microphone directly into the MIC socket.
6. When a memory card has been inserted, the unit will beep and the STATUS LED will
illuminate.
