Device Installation
Precautions and notices
- For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product while driving. Using this product does not exempt the driver from taking full responsibility for his/her driving behaviour, which includes observing all traffic rules and safety regulations.
- Make sure the dash cam is positioned in a way that does not obstruct the driver’s view or airbag deployment.
- Make sure that no object is blocking the camera lens and no reflective material appears near the lens. Please keep the lens clean.
- Video quality may be degraded if the vehicle’s windscreen is tinted.
- If the car’s windscreen is tinted with a reflective coating, its surface may be athermic and impact GPS reception. In this instance, please mount the device in a “clear area”.
- The device will automatically calibrate its G-sensor during start-up. Always turn on the device after it is mounted in place to avoid G-sensor malfunction.
Mounting the dash cam
- The dash cam should be placed near the rear-view mirror to ensure the highest video quality, but never position the device where the driver’s field of vision is blocked.
- When adjusting the dash cam’s viewing angle, make sure the vehicle is parked on level ground and the camera’s view is parallel to the ground. The ground to sky ratio should be approximately 6 to 4.
Note:
- Cleaning the windscreen with rubbing alcohol before mounting the dash cam is highly recommended.
- The double-sided adhesive tape can be replaced if it is no longer adhering to the windscreen properly.
SIM and memory cards
A MicroSD card (up to 256GB in capacity) and a Nano SIM card must be inserted
prior to mounting the dash cam on the windscreen. It is very important to use
a MicroSD card specifically designed to be used in dash cameras. It ensures
the card will be more reliable and last longer; the wrong type of card has a
greater chance of failing, even after a short period of time. To insert a
card, hold each card by the edges and gently insert it into the slot as shown
in the illustration. To remove a card, gently push the top edge of the card
inwards to release it and pull it out of the slot.
- Route the Y-cable inside the vehicle, leaving the main connector exposed at where the dash cam is to be installed on the windscreen and the other end going toward the vehicle’s OBD-II port.
- Peel the film off from the back of the rear plate.
- Affix the rear plate securely onto the windscreen.
- Attach the dash cam to the rear plate by matching the positions of the three mounting holes on the back of the camera with the hooks on the rear plate. Slide the dash cam to the left to lock it in place.
- Connect the main connector to the dash cam. If your product includes a rear recording camera, connect the rear camera cable to the mini-USB port as shown.
- Attach the top cover to the dash cam and tighten the screw with an M2 hex key.
- Cover exposed cables coming out the dash cam with the cable cap. The rubber cap can be trimmed to desired length with a pair of scissors.
- Plug the OBD-II connector into the vehicle’s OBD-II port and use the following table to connect the color-coded open wires:
Colour| Connection
---|---
Red| Accessory (ACC)
Orange| Reverse
Yellow| Input
Green| RS232 TX Out (to vehicle)
Blue| Speed pulse
Purple| Input
Brown| Input
Grey| Output
Black| Ground
White| RS232 TX In (to dash cam)
The following is a complete connection diagram:
- Adjust the viewing angle of the front and interior facing cameras by loosening the corresponding locking screw with an M2 hex key. Tighten the locking screws once the viewing angles are set.
Rear recording camera
A rear recording camera is included with selected models. Before installing
the rear recording camera, please wipe the surface clean with rubbing alcohol.
Select a suitable location for mounting the rear recording camera so that the
driver’s field of vision is not obscured. One end of the rear camera cable
should already be connected to the dash cam (see step No. 5 of the
installation instructions). Once the rear camera is mounted in the appropriate
location, connect the other end of the cable to the rear camera’s micro-USB
port.

About GPS
- GPS (Freq=1575.42MHZ) is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for the performance of GPS. Any change to the GPS system can affect the accuracy of all GPS equipment.
- GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass). When you are inside a tunnel or building, GPS positioning is not available. Signal reception can be affected by situations such as bad weather or dense overhead obstacles (e.g. trees, tunnels, viaducts and tall buildings).
- The GPS positioning data is for reference only.
