Installing the rearview camera

• This dashcam is equipped with 2 cameras for front and rear shooting.
• The front camera is built into the dashcam, while the rear camera is connected to the AV IN connector (3) with the cable provided and positioned on the rear of the vehicle.
• You can arrange the rear camera inside the vehicle, so that it shoots through the rear glass (A), or mount the camera outside, above the license plate (B), preferably having it installed by a professional. The camera is perfectly waterproof and small in size.
• The connection cable is included. On the camera side there is a red cable that you can connect to the positive that turns on the rear lights to automatically bring the rear camera to full screen when reverse gear is engaged. If you don’t want this feature you can leave the red cable unused.

Turn on the camera

• The camera turns on automatically when it receives power through the USB port and turns off in seconds if it fails. If you only supply power to the camera when the vehicle is running, it will turn on and off together with the vehicle.
• If you supply power to the camera continuously you will instead have to turn the camera on and off manually by holding down the power button (1) for a few seconds.
• This model also supports both types of power supplies when installed with the installation kit for the fuse box.
• The camera has an internal battery which is used to allow the camera to stop safely when the power fails and also for operation in parking mode.
