Device Installation
Precautions and notices
- This device has been tested and certified to meet the applicable limits for Radio Frequency (RF) exposure. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator & your body.
- 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 behavior, which includes observing all traffic rules and safety regulations.
- Make sure the fleet 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 windshield is tinted.
- If the car’s windshield 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.
Installation procedure
Insert memory/SIM card
A MicroSD card (up to 256GB in capacity) and a Nano SIM card must be inserted
prior to mounting the fleet cam on the windshield. It is very important to use
a MicroSD card specifically designed to be used in fleet 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 main cable
Route the main cable inside the vehicle, leaving the main connector exposed at
where the fleet cam is to be installed on the windshield and the other end
going toward the vehicle’s power source. Plug the OBD-II connector into the
vehicle’s OBD-II port and use the table below to connect the color-coded
wires:
| Color | 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 fleet cam) |
Affix the fleet cam
Note:
- Cleaning the windshield with rubbing alcohol before mounting the fleet cam is highly recommended.
- The double-sided adhesive tape can be replaced if it is no longer adhering to the windshield properly.
- The fleet 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
- Peel the film off from the back of the rear plate and affix the rear plate securely onto the windshield.
- Attach the fleet 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 fleet cam to the left to lock it in place.
- Connect the main connector to the fleet cam.
- Attach the top cover to the fleet cam and tighten the screw with an M2 hex key.
- Cover exposed cable coming out the fleet cam with the cable cap. The rubber cap can be trimmed to desired length with a pair of scissors. Peel the 3M tape off from the back of the cable cap to adhere it to the windshield.
Adjust camera viewing angle
- Activate the fleet cam’s hotspot function by pressing the emergency recording button for three seconds.
- Use a portable device such as a smartphone or tablet to connect to the hotspot by scanning the QR code (containing network SSID and password info) inside the box.
- Open the live view page on the portable device.
- Loosen the camera locking screw with an M2 hex key and adjust the viewing angle using the live view displayed on the screen of the portable device.
Note: When adjusting the fleet 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 close to a 50/50 split.
Install rear recording camera (optional accessory) A rear recording camera can be purchased separately as an optional accessory. 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.
- Camera lens
- Mounting base
- Micro-USB port
Plug the micro-USB connector of the rear recording camera cable into the rear cam and the mini-USB connector into the fleet cam (please note that you will have to remove the cable cap and top cover in order to access the fleet cam’s mini-USB port located next to the charging/data port). Use the same method described in the previous section to adjust the camera’s viewing angle.
Complete the installation/using the device
Before using the fleet cam to record videos, peel off the protective film
covering the camera lens. The fleet cam will automatically turn on once the
vehicle engine is started and the system will automatically begin continuous
recording after a few seconds. During continuous recording, if a sudden event
(such as running over a road bump, vehicle collision, high-speed driving, or
making a sharp turn) has been detected, the G-sensor will prompt the fleet cam
to record the event. You can also press the emergency recording button to
record a video manually while continuous recording is in progress

Hardware Reset
Occasionally you may need to perform a hardware reset when the fleet cam stops responding. The top cover must be removed in order to access the device’s reset button. Use a sharp object (such as a straightened paper clip) to press the reset button.
Additional Information
Caring for your device
- Taking good care of your device will ensure trouble-free operation and reduce the risk of damage.
- Keep your device away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.

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