In-Vehicle Installation – Front Camera
-
Select a mounting location
The front camera needs to be mounted right in the middle of the windshield, and the deviation from the center line should not exceed 10 cm, otherwise the accuracy of the AI function may be affected.
Note: It is recommended that the front camera be mounted behind the rear- view mirror to avoid obstructing the driver’s view. AI Dash cam location(Recommended area, as below): -
Attach the front camera on Windshield
Select a proper mounting location on windshield, wipe the location area clean with a lint-free cloth. The windshield must be free of dust, wax, oils, or coatings, and then apply the static sticker. Remove the overlay to expose the 3M adhesive side and stick the AI Dash Cam into the dashed box in the middle of the static sticker. Make sure the front camera is horizontal and facing straight to the windshield to capture the desired view, such as the road in the center. Place the bracket firmly on the mounting position of the static sticker for 30 seconds. -
Adjust the Front camera
Note: Recommend to make the camera capture an image with both the sky and the ground equally (50% is the sky and 50% is the ground).
In-Vehicle installation – Rear Camera
- Select a proper mounting location on windshield, wipe the location area clean with a lint-free cloth. The windshield must be free of dust, wax, oils, or coatings.
- Remove the cover layer to expose the 3M adhesive surface; Ensure that the cable port of rear camera directs to the right side and the view captured is desired field; Firmly place the mount on the mounting location of windshield for 30 seconds.
- Route the rear camera cable and plug another end of cable into the front camera.
The included rear camera cable is designed to be routed out of sight, and it
can be hided along or behind the trim or headline, as below picture.
Cautlon: Please attach the rear camera with the cable on the right side
to avoid capturing upside-down images.
Connect car power cable
- Plug the power cable into the Type-C connector of the front camera.
- Route the power cable and hide the power cable along or behind the trim or headline to make sure the view of driver unobstructed. Plug the car power adapter into the DC-12V outlet of your vehicle, as below pictures.
AI Functions

When AI Dash Cam works on a running vehicle for the first time, it will turn on the auto-calibration function. The calibration will complete in about 5 minutes when the following conditions are met.
- Driving on a straight, level road with clear lane lines.
- The vehicle speed is more than 13mph(20km/h);
- There are few vehicles on the road.
- Try not to change lanes.
After the calibration, the calibration icons on the status bar will be check. The first calibration may take a long time, please be patient. After the first calibration is completed, the device will continue to learn and adjust.
Lane Departure Warning
When current Vehicle speed > 40mph(60km/h) and the lane-center-driving vehicle state is changing to across the lane, the AI system will issue related sound alert to driver and display alert icon on the dash cam screen. Note: Normal lane changing will also trigger this warning, this alarm can be turned off in the AI function settings.
Forward Collision Warning
When current Vehicle speed > 20mph(30km/h) and the Time to Collision (TTC) between the vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than 2.7s, the AI system will issue related sound alert to driver and display alert icon on the dash cam screen.
Virtual Bumper
When the distance between the vehicle and the vehicle ahead / Current vehicle speed < 0.7S, and 20mph(30km/h) > Current vehicle speed > 0.6mph(1km/h), the AI system will issue related sound alert to driver and display alert icon on the dash cam screen.
Pedestrian Collision Warning
When the distance between the vehicle and the pedestrian ahead / Current vehicle speed < 1.2S, and 40mph(60km/h) > Current vehicle speed > 0.6mph(1km/h), the AI system will issue related sound alert to driver and display alert icon on the dash cam screen.
Stop & Go
When the vehicle stops for more than 5s and the vehicle ahead (within 20ft distance) continues to drive away for more than 1s, the AI system will issue related sound alert to driver and display alert icon on the dash cam screen.

- When there is a car on your left rear, the orange LED on the left will be on, and when there is a car on your right rear, the green LED on the right will be on.
Level 2 Alert: If the velocity of vehicle > 20mph(30km/h) with its outer edge of wheel less than 0.32ft from the lane line, another vehicle (within 23ft distance) is approaching from the rear-side lane at the same time, the AI alert will be triggered.
- the related LED indicator light will be solid on;
- the sound alert will be issued every 3s;
- the alert Icon (side-view mirror) will display on the dash cam screen. The faster the speed, the farther the alarm can be triggered, up to 41ft.
Note: This alarm will be triggered by a car on the left rear or right rear even when you have no intention to change lanes. This alarm can be turned off in the AI function settings.
Rear Collision Warning
If the on-driving vehicle > 20mph(30km/h), the Time to Collision(TTC) between the vehicle and the vehicle behind is less than 2.7s, the AI system will issue related sound alert to driver and display alert icon on the dash cam screen.
