CAMERA OVERVIEW

INSTALLATION

1. Insert the memory card.
   Warm Tips: A Class 10 or above memory card is highly recommended for the DL12 Pro dash cam (memory card is not included). DL12 Pro dash cam supports an up to 128GB memory card. Please format your card in the camera before using this dash cam. Do not remove or insert the memory card when the dash cam is turned on. This may damage the memory card.
   

2. Install the mirror dash cam
   Mount the DL12 Pro over the original rearview mirror of the car with  the provided strap, then adjust the angle of the front camera.
   

3. Connect the USB power cable into the USB power port of DL12 Pro Dash Cam, then plug the car charger into the cigarette lighter of your car.

4. Connect the GPS module to the dash cam and attach it on the A Pillar.
   

5. Install the rear camera.
   ① Connect the rear camera with the extension cable into DL12 Pro Dash Cam to check whether the rear camera works well.
   ② Installation position options.
   Position 1: Install the rear camera on the rear windshield. Position 1 is designed for live stream rear review only, not for reversing guide. This installation is much easier than other products.
   
   Position 2: Install the rear camera near the license plate. Position 2 is highly recommended. The back image is crisp and clear for both rear viewing and reversing guide.
   
   To use the reversing function, please install the rear camera in position 2, then connect the red trigger wire of the rear camera extension cable to the positive lead of the vehicle reversing lamp.
   
   Note:
   Pay attention to the connector position when connecting the rear camera with the extension cable. Please refer to the below details:
   

   • Please clean the position to ensure the adhesive quality before installing the rear camera.
   • Please clean the rear windshield regularly to ensure the image quality if you choose the position 1.
