How do I pair my camera to a device or change which device it's assigned to?
During activation you will have an opportunity to pair your camera with a specific device. You can also change this pairing and/or unassign cameras on either the Map or Setup pages.

- Click the edit button (pencil icon) next to the tracker name.

With the camera powered on, tap the camera screen and a ‘Settings’ menu will appear. You may toggle the inside display on or off.
Stand Alone Dash Cam
What is the difference between the Dash Cam with GPS and the Stand Alone Dash Cam?
The Dash Cam with GPS requires a separate GPS device to pair the camera with on the portal. The Dash Cam and the GPS device are installed separately in the vehicle.
The Stand Alone Dash Cam requires only the camera and the ProCable, which serves as the GPS device.
How does the Stand Alone Dash Cam operate?
Stand Alone Dash Cam operates like a vehicle tracker and a camera.
When ignition is on, the Stand Alone Dash Cam reports to the portal at 1 minute intervals and the camera will be in active recording mode.
The camera will report idle activity when ignition is on and the vehicle is not moving.
If the vehicle ignition is on and the camera has not moved for approximately 10 minutes, it will transition from active mode to guard mode. Movement returns the camera back to active mode.
What alerts does the Stand Alone Dash Cam capture?
The Stand Alone Dash Cam shows driver behavior events and alerts.
Speeding, Harsh Braking, and Rapid Acceleration appear in route replay and on the Alerts tab.
Harsh Braking and Rapid Acceleration alerts will automatically send video to the cloud and be visible on the Videos tab and the Alerts tab.
When a Harsh Braking or Rapid Acceleration event is generated, the Stand Alone Dash Cam will display a message on the screen and audibly announce that an event has occurred.
Can I adjust the volume on the camera?
The camera volume can be adjusted by accessing the menu on the camera by tapping on the screen.
If driver editing is disabled, driver editing will have to be re-enabled for the audio to be able to be adjusted and then disable again to lock driver editing access.
Using Your Camera
Where can I check the online/offline status of my camera?
The Online/Offline status of your Linxup camera can be found at the top of your Alerts or Videos rail.

There are 8 statuses that help you understand the current state of your camera:

Review Dash Cam Troubleshooting steps.
What are User Generated Videos?
Users can create custom video clips of 20 seconds in length that are automatically sent to the cloud. These clips include video captured 10 seconds before and 10 seconds after the button is pressed.
For example the driver can press the button, speak the name of the clip (for example, “that truck cut me off”) and the video will be saved with that phrase as the title to the cloud.
How do I record a clip?
Video clips start 10 seconds prior to beginning recording and continue for 10 seconds after saying, "OK Presto."
