Safety Information
Always prioritize safe driving practices. This device is intended as an aid and should not replace direct supervision or proper car seat installation. Ensure all cables are routed safely and do not interfere with vehicle operation or passenger movement. Avoid placing the monitor in a position that obstructs your view of the road. Be aware that traditional mirrors can attract and concentrate heat, posing a burn risk in hot weather; this camera system mitigates that risk by not using a reflective mirror surface.
Setup Instructions
- Mount the Camera: Secure the camera unit to the headrest of the seat where the rear-facing car seat is installed. Use the provided straps to ensure a firm and stable attachment. The camera should be positioned to provide a clear view of your child.
- Route the Cable: Carefully route the camera's cable from the headrest to the front of your vehicle, ensuring it is tucked away and does not interfere with car seat straps, seat adjustments, or passenger foot space. The cable can be routed along the seat and under the car seat for a neat installation.
- Place the Monitor: Position the monitor display unit on your dashboard using the anti-slip pad. Choose a location that provides a clear view without obstructing your driving visibility. The monitor is designed to be stable during vehicle movement.
- Connect Power: Connect the power cable from the monitor to a USB power source in your vehicle. The monitor will automatically turn on and display the camera feed once connected.

Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: The monitor powers on automatically when connected to a power source. To turn it off, simply disconnect the USB power cable.
- Adjust Camera Angle: The camera features a 360° rotation capability and a 149° wide-angle lens, allowing you to adjust it for the optimal view of your child. Loosen the screw on the camera mount to freely adjust the angle, then tighten to secure.
- Night Vision: The monitor automatically switches to night vision mode in low-light conditions, providing a clear and bright image of your child even at night.
