3. Setup and Installation

The VIOFO VS1 Mini Dash Cam is designed for easy installation and discreet placement. Follow these steps for proper setup:

  1. Prepare the Windshield: Clean the area on your windshield where you intend to mount the dash cam. Ensure it is free of dust and grease.
  2. Apply Static Sticker: Place one of the windshield static stickers on the cleaned area. This helps protect your windshield and makes removal easier.
  3. Attach Mount: Secure the dash cam mount with the sticky pad to the static sticker. The ideal position is typically behind the rearview mirror to ensure it does not obstruct your view.
  4. Insert MicroSD Card: Insert the included VIOFO 32GB microSD card into the dash cam's card slot. Ensure it clicks into place.
  5. Connect Power: Connect the Type-C data cable to the dash cam and the car charger. Plug the car charger into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket).
  6. Route Cable: Carefully route the power cable along the edge of your windshield and dashboard to keep it tidy and out of the way. Use the trim removal tool if necessary to tuck the cable under panels.
  7. Adjust Lens: The VS1 features a 180° rotatable lens. Adjust the lens to ensure it captures the desired view of the road ahead.
