4. Setup and Installation

4.1 Front Camera Installation

1. Clean the area on your windshield where the dash cam will be mounted with a soft cloth to ensure it is free of dust, oil, and moisture.
2. Attach an electrostatic sticker to the windshield first. This helps prevent the adhesive from sticking directly to the glass, making removal easier.
3. Remove the protective film from the adhesive on the GPS mount.
4. Position the dash cam with the attached GPS mount on the electrostatic sticker, ensuring it does not obstruct your view or the camera lens. Secure the camera firmly.
5. Connect the USB-C power cable to the "POWER" port on the top of the dash cam.

2. Clean the chosen area on the rear windshield.
3. Attach an electrostatic sticker to the rear windshield.
4. Remove the protective film from the adhesive on the rear camera mount and firmly attach it to the electrostatic sticker.
5. Connect the rear camera cable to the "REAR" port on the top of the front dash cam unit and route the cable neatly to the rear camera. Use the provided cable clips and trim removal tool to hide the cable along the vehicle's interior trim.
6. Adjust the rear camera lens to achieve the desired viewing angle. The lens rotates infinitely for optimal positioning.
