3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install your Pelsee P12 Pro Max Mirror Dash Cam:

1. Mounting the Mirror Dash Cam: Use the provided rubber straps to securely attach the mirror dash cam over your existing rearview mirror. Ensure the front camera lens is positioned correctly for an unobstructed view of the road.
2. Installing the Rear Camera: Mount the 2.5K rear camera at the back of your vehicle, typically above the license plate or on the rear window. The 33ft cable is designed for compatibility with larger vehicles. Route the cable neatly to the front of the vehicle, tucking it under trim panels for a clean installation.
3. Connecting the GPS Module: Plug the GPS module into the designated port on the dash cam. Position the module on your dashboard or windshield where it has a clear view of the sky for accurate speed and location tracking.
4. Powering the Device:
   • Standard Power: Connect the 11.5ft Type-C car charger to your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
   • 24/7 Parking Monitoring (Recommended): Use the included OBD Hardwire Kit. Plug it into your car's OBD-II port. This provides continuous power for parking surveillance without draining your car battery, thanks to its low voltage protection.
5. Inserting the Memory Card: Insert the 128GB MicroSD card into the TF card slot on the dash cam. Ensure it is inserted correctly until it clicks into place.
