2. Mount the Front Dashcam

Choose a suitable location on your windshield, preferably behind the rearview mirror, to avoid obstructing your view. Clean the area thoroughly. Apply an electrostatic sticker first, then attach the mounting bracket to the sticker. The dashcam can then be slid onto the bracket.

4. Power Connection

Connect the Type-C power cable to the dashcam and the dual-USB car charger. Plug the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Ensure the cable is neatly tucked away using the provided cable clips and pry tool.
