All connections should be made in accordance with established automotive standards and should not be exposed to the elements. The Dash Cam is not weatherproof.

Installing Stand Alone Dash Cam

Tips

All of your videos are Privacy-Locked. Only you can see, share, or delete your video.
Your camera records even when you’re out of coverage. When you’re back in coverage, your videos will transfer to the cloud.
Leave your Dash Cam plugged in. The camera provides 24/7 protection in and around your fleet, even with engines off.
There’s a fan inside, working to keep things cool. It will automatically turn on as needed.
Try different tail lengths. Shorter tails ensure a low-profile camera; longer tails improve the interior view.

Dash Cam FAQ

Dash Cam Troubleshooting

	Supply Power to Tracking Device and Camera Look under the steering wheel to find the OBDII port and plug in the Y splitter. Plug in the OBD tracker and the camera’s OBD power adapter into either end of the Y splitter. Next, use the flexible cable ties to secure the cable under your dashboard and prevent any slack from hanging in the footwell.
	Tuck Stick Route the cable up the doorjamb to the windshield and extend it past the center of the dashboard. Use the Tuck Stick to hide the cable in the gap between the dashboard and windshield.
	Suction Beam Select a tail length (we recommend the 5” to start) and slide it onto the arm. Insert the cable ball into the beam and route the cable down to the notch on the tail. Center the beam on the dashboard and gently push the tail against the windshield. Moisten the suction cup. Lift and push the suction cup against the windshield using your thumb, then push the lever to securely lock in place. We recommend using the shortest tail possible, so the driver has the best view forward. Longer tails may be needed to achieve the best inside camera view.
	Camera Plug the cable into the camera and mount it onto the beam. Use the Tuck Stick to tidy up any loose cable on the dashboard.
