3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance of your REDTIGER F77 dash cam. The system uses a windshield mount for the front camera and adhesive for the rear camera.
3.1 Front Camera Installation
- Clean the windshield area where the front dash cam will be mounted. Ensure it is free of dust and grease.
- Apply an electrostatic sticker to the chosen area on the windshield. This helps in easy removal and repositioning.
- Attach the adhesive mount to the electrostatic sticker. Press firmly for 30 seconds to ensure a secure bond.
- Slide the front dash cam onto the mounted bracket.
- Connect the power supply cable to the front dash cam and route it along the windshield edge, down the A-pillar, and to the car's cigarette lighter socket. Use the provided cable clips and crowbar to neatly tuck away the cable.
3.2 Rear Camera Installation
- Identify a suitable location on your rear window, ensuring it does not obstruct your view and provides a clear recording angle.
- Clean the rear window surface thoroughly.
- Attach the rear camera using its adhesive mount.
- Connect the rear camera cable to the rear camera and route it to the front dash cam. This cable can be routed along the headliner and side panels for a discreet installation.

Note: For 24-hour parking monitoring functionality, a separate hardwire kit (e.g., Asin: B09WCTZ3Y8) is required and must be installed according to its specific instructions. This kit provides continuous power to the dash cam even when the vehicle is off.
4. Operating Instructions
