Installing Your Camera
1. Clean Windshield
Wipe down both the interior and exterior glass for the best image quality.
Keep the mount secured to the windshield.
2. Attach the Mount to Your Camera
Keep the mount secured to the camera.
Please insert MicroSD card to the unit.
3. Prepare the Camera for Installation
Peel off the protective mount cover.
Find a location which does not obstruct your view when driving.
It is recommended to place the camera behind the rear view mirror without obstructing
either lenses or camera functions.
4. Adjust the Angle
The mount has an adjustable ball joint which can be loosened using the plastic locking
nut.
Angle your camera slightly below the horizon line to minimize glare.
Press the mount firmly against the glass and turn the mount arm to secure the mount.
5. Install the Car Power Adaptor
If you have not done so previously, plug the car power adaptor into your vehicle's power
outlet.
Insert the USB plug (on top side of the unit) into the USB port on the camera, and insert
the power adapter into the cigarette lighter socket of your car.
The wiring can be hidden in the headliner, seams and rubber strips around the perimeter
of the windshield.
Remove the protective lens cover.
6. Remove the Lens Protector Film
Your camera is now installed and ready for daily use.
Note:
Always use the supplied car power adaptor to avoid the unexpected damage.
If grease, fingerprints, or blots are found on the external/internal windshield of the car,
please wipe it clean or install the unit on an unaffected area. Blots may worsen the
recording quality or may cause the bracket to be unstable.
Do not turn on Motion Detection unless your vehicle is parked. If Motion Detection is
enabled while driving, the camera may not continuously record.
DOD Tech recommends setting the G-Sensor to low.
