Camera Overview
Mounting & Powering
- Insert a micro SD card into the T-FLASH slot on the side before installing.
- Slide the camera onto the bracket until it clicks.
- Decide power source: cigarette lighter (plug car charger in, connect mini USB to camera) or optional fuse box connector (DC-ACC-CS1Q — connect red wire to ignition switch's +12VDC, which must have voltage during Start/On but NOT ACC or constant 12V; connect black wire to chassis ground).
- Choose a windshield mounting spot that won't obstruct the driver's view; clean the area of dust/particles.
- Lift the suction cup lever, place the suction cup on the windshield, then push the lever down to lock the bracket.
- Connect power and adjust the camera's viewing angle.
To remove the camera from the bracket, squeeze the mounting tab and slide in the opposite direction.
