What’s included with the AI Recorder

Please ensure the AI Recorder and any necessary power components are secured and out of reach of passengers.

Al Recorder Overview

Install Waylens Fleet App to verify the AI Recorder installation
The Waylens Fleet App is the companion to the AI Recorder, providing the fleet administrator with an easy way to install, maintain, and diagnose the AI Recorder.

Installation Check

Points

• Power Test
• Network/Cloud Connection
• Verify road and driver-facing camera orientation
• Verify External AUX cameras (if installed)

Once the camera is powered, connect to the camera WiFi using SSID and password and then open the Waylens Fleet App. The WiFi SSID and password can be located on the camera label, or the back of this installation guide. Do not use mobile devices to access the AI Recorder while operating the vehicle. Park your vehicle in a safe location before accessing the App.

Installing your AI Recorder
Park the car in a safe and convenient place for the installation

Insert the microSD card (if not already installed)

A microSD card will be automatically formatted when the first time it is inserted into an AI Recorder. Do not remove the microSD card while the AI Recorder is recording (the status LED illuminates red). Waylens requires a high endurance micro SD card (class 10 or higher MLC microSD card 32-512 GB), designed for continuous recording applications. While other cards will technically work with the AI Recorder, they are much more prone to card errors and failures.

Mount the AI Recorder Mount Plate/Wedge Mount Plate

1. Find a suitable location; the common location is near the rearview mirror on the windshield.
2. Clean the windshield surface first with a wet wipe and then a dry wipe.
3. Choose the right mount plate based on the vehicle windshield’s inclination: for that vertical windshield such as the one on those heavy-duty vehicles, please use the flat AI Recorder
4. Mount Plate, for that sloped windshield please choose the AI Recorder Wedge Mount Plate.
5. Remove 3M stickers to expose the AI Recorder Mount Plate’s adhesive.
6. Attach the AI Recorder Mount Plate to the windshield.
7. Press firmly on top and bottom to adhere to it securely.

Install power in the vehicle
Direct Wire Power Cord

1. Make sure the vehicle is okay.
2. Find the location and layout of your fuse box as well as the appropriate fuse type from the vehicle’s user manual.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The recorder should only be wired on a non-essential fuse circuit. The users should never install the recorder on any safety system such as airbags, anti- lock braking systems, vehicle lights, or driver assistance systems.

NOTE
Professional installation assistance is recommended, if you are not familiar with identifying fuses in a vehicle and installing power system-related items.

Connect the white ACC wire to a switched fuse via the Fuse Tap Cable:

• A switched fuse is used to monitor the accessory power such as a cigarette lighter, car radio, etc. They will be switched after you turn on the car.
• Identify them by referring to the vehicle user manual or consulting a qualified professional.
• Verify the fuse is a switched fuse by using a multimeter to track voltage within the circuit across ignitions’ ON and OFF positions.
• If confirmed as a switched power fuse, remove the identified switched fuse from the fuse panel. Use the fuse puller tool if available.
• Select the right Fuse Tap Cable for your vehicle.
• Insert the supplied 5 Amp fuse to the socket 2 if it’s not inserted yet.
• Insert the identified vehicle fuse into slot 3 on the Fuse Tap Cable.

NOTE:
The supplied 5Amp fuse MUST be placed in the uppermost socket, as shown below. In line with the red cable. The original vehicle fuse is to be placed in the lower socket.

• Insert the Fuse Tap Cable into the fuse panel carefully.
• Insert the exposed ACC wire from the camera harness into the Fuse Tap Cable connector and crimp it to secure the connection.
• Connect the red B+ wire to a constant power fuse via the Fuse Tap Cable.
• The constant power fuses are used to monitor constant power within a vehicle. They will not be professional.
• Verify the fuse is a constant fuse by a multimeter to track voltage within the circuit across ignitions’ ON and OFF positions.
• If confirmed as a constant power fuse, remove the identified constant fuse from the fuse panel. Use the fuse puller tool if available.
• Refer to steps 3.d to 3. h for the Fuse Tap Cable usage and connection. Ensure working on the red B+ wire and the right constant power fuse.
• Connect the black GND wire to a chassis ground point, such as a bolt, that is directly touching a bare metal surface of the vehicle’s chassis.
• Route the wire with the USB Type-C plug of the Direct Wire Power Cord to the expected camera mounting location on the windshield.
  NOTE
  Leave an extra few inches of cord length near the camera to insert the Type-C plug into the AI Recorder’s Power socket, and also to make mounting and dismounting the AI Recorder easier.

Important
If your vehicle has side impact airbags, make sure the harness does not interfere with its ability to deploy.

• Secure any excess wire after the recorder is mounted.

OBD-II Power Cord

1. Locate the OBD-II socket in your vehicle, the upper figure shows some popular places.

2. Insert the OBD-II plug into the OBD-II socket firmly.
   NOTE: The OBD-II connector fits only one way into the vehicle’s OBD-II socket, do not force the fit; observe correct orientation before applying force.

3. Route the wire with the USB Type-C plug of the OBD-II Power Cord to the expected recorder mounting location on the windshield.
   NOTE:
   Leave an extra few inches of cord length near the recorder to insert the Type-C plug into the AI Recorder, and also to make mounting and dismounting the recorder easier.

4. Secure any excess wire after the recorder is mounted.
