Recommended Installation
1.
Clean the windscreen inside and out to
ensure clearer images and easy adhesion.
2.
Attach the camera to the windscreen
bracket and affix the 3M sticker.
3.
Plug the 5V power adaptor into the
cigarette lighter or 12V socket and the other
end into the Drive Recorder’s DC5V power
input. The Drive Recorder will start up and
then begin recording automatically.
4.
The camera should be positioned near the
top of the windscreen close to the rear-view
mirror. Tilt the camera so that the screen
shows only 20% of sky at the top and a
small amount of bonnet at the bottom.
5.
Work out your best cable run to the 12V
power supply (see diagram).
6.
Starting from the camera using a small
object e.g. a credit card, carefully tuck the
cable between the windscreen and rubber
seal. Once at the corner tuck the cable
down the appropriate pillar between the
door and the dashboard (see diagram) and
run under dashboard to 12V power supply
using the self-adhesive cable clips supplied.
