Installation

The full installation tutorial video is available at www.scaledelectronics.com/support

Step1: Insert the Memory Card
Insert a suitable Memory card (16G-256G,FAT32 / UHS-III) in to the Dash Cam.
Push the memory card until it clicks into place(The text side of the memory card is oriented in the same direction as the screen).
Please make sure to use a memory card of UHS-Ill level or above, otherwise it may cause device abnormalities.

Note: Do not remove or insert the memory card while the power is on, as this may damage the card or the video content therein.

Step2: Install the Front Camera

  1. 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 Al 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.
    Al Dash cam location(Recommended area, as below).

  2. 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 Al Dash Cam into the dashed box in the middle of the static sticker.
    Please make sure to put the static sticker on the windshield first before placing the device.
    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.scaled-

  3. Adjust the Front camera angle
    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).

Step3: Install the Rear Camera

  1. 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.

  2. Remove the cover layer to expose the 3M adhesive surface; Ensure that the cable 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.
    Note: Attach the rear camera with the cable on the right side to avoid capturing upside-down images.

  3. Route the rear camera cable and plug another end of cable into the front camera.

The 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.

Step4: Connect car power cable

  1. Plug the power cable into the Type-C connector of the front camera.
  2. 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.

Al Functions

Auto-calibration
Upon the initial activation of the Al Dash Cam, an automatic calibration process for the Al algorithms will commence. The calibration duration may vary between 1 to 10 minutes, depending on the scene conditions captured. To expedite the calibration process, consider the following recommendations:

  1. Drive on a road with a straight, level trajectory and clear lane markings.
  2. Maintain a speed greater than 13 mph.
  3. Choose routes with lower traffic density.
  4. Minimize unnecessary lane changes.
    After the calibration, the calibration icons on the status bar will be check.
