ONCE YOU HAVE PROPERLY ASSEMBLED THE CAMERA AND WIRING,
YOU WILL NEXT NEED TO FORMAT THE SD CARD. FOLLOW THE BELOW
STEPS ONCE SD CARD HAS BEEN FORMATTED AND INSERTED INTO
THE CAMERA.
1. Allow the camera to run for about 2 minutes until all the lights
turn solid.
(If the GPS continues to blink, this indicates that 1.) you are in
an area where there is bad signal. Once in an area with good
signal, the GPS light should stay solid or 2). the GPS is not
properly connected.)
2. Once all lights are solid, press the Emergency button
located on the front camera (illustrated below), and the
REC light should blink for a few seconds and then turn
solid again.
17
Test power by
connecting the female
and male jacks and
turning on the ignition.
In the event the camera
does not power on,
recheck all connections.
When the three lights on
the camera light up, you
can tuck the female and
male jacks into the
headliner and begin to conceal the remaining exposed cable and wire
around the fuse box with the zip ties provided.

First Use & Card Formatting
Before your camera is ready to be used, it must be prepared. The following steps
will guide you in preparing your SD.
FORMATTING SD CARD WITH CAMERA
If you are using a new 32GB SD card or lower, insert SD card into camera while the camera
is powered OFF. Once the SD is secured in the camera, you can then power it ON and a
voice prompt will notify you that the SD is being formated. This should take about 1
minute. Once formatting is complete, camera will beep once and all 3 lights should stay
solid. Card is now formatted and ready for all configurations.
*USED SD cards:
If you are using a SD card that has been used, you will first need to format the SD card. Follow
directions below.
SD CARD SIZE:
I. 32GB and lower: You can either use the camera OR viewer software to format SD
cards lower than 32GB.
- Select the Setup icon on the bottom of the viewer software indicated with the
cross wrench and hammer. Then select the fourth tab labeled Removable Disk.
Under the Select Drive box, make sure to select the drive in which the SD card is in
then press Format Drive. Your SD card will now have a folder labeled config.
II. Higher than a 32GB (64-128GB): SD cards higher than 32GB will not format
properly with the viewer software nor with the computer. Please contact a sales rep
when using a 32GB SD card or higher. Special formatter required. (Example
illustrated below)
After your SD card has been formatted, you
are ready to make your configurations.
NOTE: Make sure after making your
configuration changes, you are saving it in the
SD card drive, in the cong folder.
