5. Installation

5.1. Mounting Position Related Regulations

Note: The following recommendations do not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon in lieu of consultation with your own advisors.

For Dash Cams in the US

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations permit dash cams to be installed in either of the following positions:

1. From the top of the windshield to 8.5 inches below the upper edge of the area swept by the windshield wipers.

For Dash Cams in the UK

To determine camera placement options, the windscreen is divided into zones:

1. Zone A: This is a vertical area 29cm wide (for vehicles over 3.5 tons is 35cm), centered on the steering wheel and contained within the swept area of the windscreen.
1. Zone B is the remainder of the swept area of the windscreen.

No part of the dash cam (including the mount and wire) can intrude more than 10mm (1cm) into Zone A and more than 40mm (4cm) into Zone B.

1. Over 3.5 tonnes: 350mm
   Under 3.5 tonnes: 290mm

5.2. Mounting Position Recommendations

The KY6124 is recommended to be mounted on the upper edge of the windshield directly above the steering wheel, as shown in the red circle inside the picture.

In order to drive safely and maximize the AI function, the selection of the camera mounting position needs to be based on the following principles:

1. Do not block the driver’s line of sight.
1. Do not interfere with the driver’s driving.
1. The camera should be kept horizontal, not tilted.
1. The driver’s face should preferably be in the center of the inside camera preview (available in “Viidure” APP).

The center point of the camera preview (available in “Viidure” APP) of the front camera should coincide with the end of the road.
