Usage Features

  • Mounting Options:
    • Side Mounting: The camera is attached using hose clamps (1.5" or 4" depending on the model) to a side mirror bracket or similar structure. It features a rear clip and front clip for secure attachment.
    • Rear Mounting: The camera is attached to a rear frame plate using screws. It also features a rear clip and front clip.
  • Angle Adjustment:
    • Side Mounting: The camera's angle can be adjusted by releasing a Phillips screw (screw A) located in the bracket of the back mirror. After adjustment, the screws should be tightened. The camera allows for 360-degree rotation and tilt/pan adjustments.
    • Rear Mounting: The camera's angle can be adjusted by releasing Phillips screws (screw A and C) at both ends and tilting the camera. Screws B are used to fix the plate from a top view. After adjustment, all screws should be tightened.
  • Cable Connection:
    • Wi-Fi Model (Power-only installations): Connect the red wire to a 12V constant power source and the black wire to a clean chassis ground.
    • Ethernet Model (Video cable installation): Connect the power-cable first, then the video cable. If needed, an extension cable can be used. Ensure the O-ring for the waterproof connector is properly mounted, and all waterproof components are securely tightened to prevent loosening.
  • Reset Functionality:
    • A reset button is hidden in the bracket, under the bottom cover of the camera.
    • To access, remove the bottom cover using a Phillips screwdriver and use a pencil or pin to push the rubber button.
    • Soft Reset: Hold the reset button for over 10 seconds to reboot and reset all settings.
    • Hard Reset: Hold the reset button for over 3 seconds (but less than 10 seconds) to only reboot the camera.

Maintenance Features

  • Required Tools for Installation:
    • Wire cutter
    • Wire crimper
    • Voltmeter or Multi-meter
    • Cable ties
    • Electric tape
    • Vehicle manufacturer recommended tools
    • Tape measure
    • Phillips screwdriver
    • Flat-blade screwdriver
    • Marking pen
  • Cable Waterproofing and Insulation:
    • Ensure all cables are properly insulated and waterproofed to prevent damage from rain or water.
    • Apply one layer of insulation tape around each cable joint.
    • Stretch the waterproofing tape twice its original length and apply three layers from bottom to top, then from top to bottom, and from bottom to top again.
    • Stretch the insulation tape twice its original length and apply three layers from bottom to top, then from top to bottom, and from bottom to top again to tie the upper and lower ends with cable ties.
    • Cover the rest of the cabling in a conduit or with protective waterproof rubber tape.
    • Create a drip loop as shown in the manual to prevent water from reaching the lowest point of the cable.
  • Pre-Installation Check:
    • Verify that all screws are fully tightened.
    • Confirm the camera is securely installed to the mount or wall.
    • Check that the ambient temperature meets the device specifications.
    • Ensure insulation and waterproofing measures have been taken to protect cables in humid environments, and drip loops are in correct positions.
    • Confirm the camera powers on normally.
  • Caution:
    • Do not lift the camera by its cable.
