HOW TO INSTALL YOUR KP2

Prepare Your KP2
DISCLAIMER
The KP2 installation featured in this guide is designed for professional installation. SmartWitness assumes installers possess knowledge of current, generally accepted industry installation standards and practices.
The process outlined in this document accounts for driver positioning on the left side of the vehicle.
Please adjust the installation accordingly if you’re working with driver positioning on the vehicle’s right side.

1. Use the Torx® wrench provided in the package contents to open the side cover of the device. You’ll notice that both the microSD and SIM cards come pre-installed.
   See Diagram A.

2. Keep the side panel open. It allows you to remove the KP2 from its mount and adjust the driver- and road-facing cameras. Prep the cameras for adjustments.
   • Loosen the KP2’s top screw (for the road-facing lens) with the Torx wrench.
   • The driver-facing camera has a release tab next to the lens.
   Note: You must order the KP2’s driver-facing camera as a separate accessory.
   White-label KP2s are exceptions.

3. Go to your vehicle, and hold your KP2 where you’ll mount the bracket. Your KP2 placement should reduce the windshield’s blind-spot footprint, with the road-facing camera within the top 2″ of the wiper path. The device should reside close to the center of the windshield. See Diagram B.
   Note: The driver-facing lens needs complete visibility of the driver, without any physical or visual obstructions. Ensure your vehicle’s sun visor doesn’t complicate camera visibility.

4. While holding the KP2 in place, rotate each camera until they’re at the desired angle.

5. Remove the protective decals from each lens.

6. Use the Torx wrench to tighten the top screw on the KP2 and lock the road-facing camera’s position.
   Once you’ve secured the road-facing camera, please go on to Attach Your Camera to the Windshield.

Attach Your Camera to the Windshield
Your vehicle’s windshield temperature shouldn’t be too hot or cold. SmartWitness recommends installing your KP2 in moderate temperatures (50°F~80°F).
If in severely cold weather, use the vehicle defrosters to warm and dry out the windshield.
Ensure your windshield is dry and has no chips or cracks before installation. If the windshield is compromised,
device application may cause chips or cracks to spread.

1. Clean the windshield with your alcohol wipe. See Diagram C. Allow time to dry.

2. Remove any film left over from the solution.

3. Remove the plastic from the tape on the mounting bracket.

4. When attaching the KP2 to the windshield, position the bracket so it’s flush with the windshield.
   Note: When installing the KP2 in a truck, FMCSA mandates that the device’s
   camera is in the top 2″ of the windshield wiper sweep.

5. Apply your KP2 to the windshield, and maintain pressure for at least 30 seconds.

6. After mounting your KP2, use the Torx® wrench to re-secure the device’s side cover. This locks both camera positions in place.
   Diagram C

7. Go outside the vehicle, and check whether 80%–90% of the tape’s surface area connects with the glass.
   Momentarily apply pressure where the camera doesn’t connect to the glass (if necessary).
   Once the device is correctly attached to the windshield, continue to Connect the KP2 to Your Vehicle’s Power Source.

Connect the KP2 to Your Vehicle’s Power Source
If you are not a professional technician, click here to request installation from an approved SmartWitness installer. By continuing this process without a certified installer, you accept the ramifications of tampering with your vehicle’s power source.

1. Turn off your vehicle.

2. Take your main power cable, and place it where it’ll reside alongside the vehicle’s headliner and A-pillar. This shows you where to route the cable and how much slack to  leave to connect the adapter cable to the vehicle’s power source.

3. Clean the space where the cable clips will reside with an alcohol wipe.
   Allow time to dry.

4. Once the windshield is dry, attach clips where you’ll place the cable.
   Ensure the clips are evenly spaced, around 6″ apart. Keep the opening of the clips face up, and ensure the cable remains taut.

5. Slide the power cable from the bracket into the clips. Your cable should look like Diagram D.

6. Route the power cable around the side and behind interior panels or weather stripping to secure it. See Diagram E. The cable should fall near the vehicle’s fuse box/power source.

7. Attach the KP2 main power cable to one of the compatible power adapter options. Let’s use the bare 3-wire connection adapter provided in the box for this walk-through.  See Diagram F.
   Note: SmartWitness provides optional power adapter accessories separately.

8. Identify each connection wire on the 3-wire adapter: black, white, and red.
   Note: Ensure your 3-wire connection has fuses attached to the red and white wires within 4″ of the power source. This is a requirement that protects both your device and your vehicle.

9. Connect each wire to its associated power source.
   • Black – ground or battery (-)
   • White – true ignition or ACC
   • Red – power or battery (+)
   Go to How to Test Your Installation to ensure you’ve properly applied power to your device.

HOW TO TEST YOUR INSTALLATION

After installing the KP2 in your vehicle, test whether it is operational.

1. Turn on your vehicle. Your camera should power on.
2. You’ll see a Red/Blue/Green light sequence during your camera’s boot-up process (see LED Reference Table).
3. After your camera completes the boot-up process, check for a solid Blue light. This indicates proper operation and recording.
4. Check for a Greenlight that remains on, indicating connectivity.
5. Watch for a Blue light. After 5 minutes, if both the Green and Blue lights don’t remain on, an error has occurred. See Diagram G.

TROUBLESHOOTING ERROR SCENARIOS
If your KP2 has:

• Solid Red, Blue and Green lights, then a camera isn’t receiving a video signal. Check your camera’s connection.

• A solid Blue light, but the Green light is blinking or is off, then clean and correctly reinsert your SIM card.
  – If the Green light still blinks, this is a configuration or server issue that requires SmartWitness support.

• A Red blinking light, then there is an SD card error or corruption. Contact your local distributor or SmartWitness support to repair or replace your SD card.

• A solid Red light, then your device isn’t receiving enough voltage or amperage. Check the output of your power source or your ground (black wire) connection.
  If your KP2 install is operational, please move on to How to Calibrate Your G-Sensor.

HOW TO CALIBRATE YOUR G-SENSOR

Park your vehicle on a flat surface for calibration.
After your camera boots up, press the G-sensor calibration button. This is the small Red button to the right of the e-call/panic button.
You’ll hear a beep, and the KP2 LED light will blink briefly to indicate that the G-sensor calibration has registered.
You’ve completed the first steps of your KP2 installation. To adjust your settings, continue to How to Configure KP2 Settings.

HOW TO CONFIGURE KP2 SETTINGS

To finalize your installation and onboard your device, scan the QR code. Download and open the app. Scan your device’s IMEI label, and follow the walk- through featured below.
