5. Setup & Installation

Proper installation of the hardwire kit is essential for optimal performance and safety. It is recommended to consult a professional if you are unsure about any steps. A detailed installation video is available to guide you through the process.

5.1. Pre-Installation Checklist

• Ensure your vehicle's engine is off and the ignition key is removed.
• Locate your vehicle's fuse box (usually under the dashboard, in the engine bay, or in the trunk).
• Identify a constant power fuse (always on, even when the ignition is off) and an ACC (accessory) power fuse (on when ignition is on, off when ignition is off).
• Select the appropriate fuse connector type (LP/Mini/ATO/Micro2) from the kit that matches your vehicle's fuses.

5.2. Wiring Steps

1. Connect the Red Wire: Connect the red wire of the hardwire kit to the identified constant power fuse using the appropriate fuse connector.
2. Connect the Yellow Wire: Connect the yellow wire of the hardwire kit to the identified ACC power fuse using the appropriate fuse connector.
3. Connect the Black Wire: Securely connect the black wire (ground) to a metal part of the vehicle's chassis, ensuring good electrical contact.
4. Route the Cables: Carefully route the hardwire kit cable from the fuse box to your dash cam's mounting location, tucking it along the vehicle's trim and headliner using the provided installation tool and cable management clips for a clean, hidden installation.
5. Connect to Dash Cam: Plug the hardwire kit's output connector into your IIWEY dash cam's power input port.

5.3. Mounting the Dash Cam

1. Clean the desired area on your windshield where the dash cam will be mounted.
2. Attach the dash cam mount (with adhesive) to the cleaned area. Ensure it is positioned to provide an unobstructed view for the front camera.
3. Slide the dash cam onto the mounted bracket.
4. Adjust the camera lens angles to cover the desired fields of view (front, cabin, and rear if applicable).

6. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the hardwire kit enables various operating modes for your IIWEY dash cam:

• 24-Hour Parking Monitoring: With the hardwire kit, your dash cam will automatically switch to parking mode when the ignition is off. This mode provides continuous surveillance, recording events such as motion detection or collision impacts.
• Motion Detection: In parking mode, the dash cam can be configured to start recording automatically when motion is detected around your vehicle.
• Collision Detection (G-Sensor): The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions and automatically saves the footage as an emergency file, preventing it from being overwritten.
• Time-Lapse Recording: Some IIWEY dash cam models support time-lapse recording in parking mode, compressing long periods of footage into shorter videos for efficient review.

7. Maintenance

• Regular Checks: Periodically check the wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from damage.
• Fuse Inspection: If the dash cam loses power, inspect the fuses in the hardwire kit and your vehicle's fuse box. Replace any blown fuses with ones of the correct amperage.
• Cable Management: Ensure all cables remain tucked away and do not interfere with vehicle operation or safety features.

8. Troubleshooting

• Dash Cam Not Powering On:
  • Check all hardwire kit connections to the fuse box and dash cam.
  • Verify that the selected fuses in the vehicle's fuse box are receiving power.
  • Ensure the hardwire kit's fuse is intact and not blown.
• Parking Mode Not Activating:
  • Confirm that the yellow ACC wire is correctly connected to a fuse that powers off with the ignition.
  • Check your dash cam's settings to ensure parking mode is enabled and configured correctly.
• Vehicle Battery Drain:
  • Ensure the low voltage protection feature is functioning. The kit should cut power at 11.6V.
  • If battery drain persists, consult a professional auto electrician to verify the wiring and vehicle's electrical system.
