Plug in the cigarette lighter plug.

Start driving with RoadHawk total video and data protection.

Now you have the RoadHawk camera installed, it will start to work when you next start driving.
If you have installed the RoadHawk camera correctly then it should be quite well hidden.

View from behind with the RoadHawk camera hidden behind the rear view mirror.

NOTE

: It is possible for the RoadHawk HD camera to be hardwired to your vehicle. RoadHawk supply

an optional “Hard Wiring Kit” to allow for this. It is rerecorded to have an authorised vehicle electrician
carry out this work

We recommend connecting the camera to an ignition LIVE circuit so the camera only operates when
the vehicle is running. Connecting to a permanent LIVE will make the camera run 24/7 and this will
reduce the life expectancy of the SD Card.

Some vehicles have “always on” accessory sockets. We recommend unplugging the camera from
these sockets when not in use.
