4.2 Dash Cam Installation (Front Unit)

The Dash Cam can be powered via the cigarette lighter, fuse box, or OBD interface. The cigarette lighter method is the simplest.

1. Pulisci il parabrezza anteriore: Clean the area where the dash cam will be mounted to ensure the bracket adheres firmly.
2. Accendere la Dash Cam: Insert the car charger into the cigarette lighter and connect it to the Dash Cam using the provided Type-C power cord. The Dash Cam will automatically start and begin recording when the car starts.
3. Determine installation position and adjust lens angle:
   • Collega la Dash Cam al tuo telefono cellulare tramite l'app DDPAI (vedi Sezione 5).
   • Nell'app, vai su "Impostazioni dispositivo" > "Promemoria assistenza intelligente ADAS" > "Regola posizione di installazione ADAS".
   • Seleziona "Vai alla pre-produzione"view" to enter the calibration interface. Follow on-screen instructions to adjust the dash cam's position.
   • Once satisfied, tap "Calibration completed".
4. Stabilizzare la Dash Cam:
   • Attach the electrostatic sticker to the chosen installation position on the windshield.
   • Peel off the film from the 3M sticker on the bracket and firmly attach the bracket to the center of the electrostatic sticker.

   Nota:

4.2.3 Connect the OBD Interface (OBD Power Cable is Required)

This method is easier than the fuse box method and also enables parking monitoring.

1. Collegare il connettore Type-C del cavo di alimentazione OBD alla porta Type-C della Dash Cam.
2. Collegare l'altra estremità del cavo di alimentazione OBD alla porta OBD del veicolo.

Nota:

• Il cavo di alimentazione OBD deve essere acquistato separatamente.
