IN VEHICLE INSTALLATION
1. Open dust cover and insert a suitable memory card in to the iN-CAR CAM, taking care to follow
correct orientation markings (gold contacts facing the back of the device). Push the memory card
until it clicks into place and close dust cover.
Do not remove or insert the memory card when the iN-CAR CAM is turned on. This may damage
the memory card.
Note:
Use the edge of a small coin (or similar object) to push the memory card in place if required.
A second push inwards will release the memory card.
2. Attach the iN-CAR CAM to the supplied windscreen mount, taking care the locking tab has ‘clicked’
firmly into place.
3. Remove the protective plastic film from the suction pad. Select the required position for the
windscreen mount and clean windscreen with a dry / clean cloth to achieve good contact between
the glass and mount.
While holding the suction cup onto the glass push the locking lever upwards to secure the
mount to the windscreen.
Please ensure that once mounted the iN-CAR CAM is located within the area of the vehicles
windscreen wipers to maintain a clear view during rainfall.
Note:
Choose a smooth glass area without painted effect.
4. The angle and position of the iN-CAR CAM can be adjusted by loosening the locking clamp and
moving as required, remembering to re-tighten the clamp.
5. Connect the car adaptor to mini-USB socket of the iN-CAR CAM and then plug the supplied car
adaptor into the 12-24Vdc outlet of your vehicle. The iN-CAR CAM will automatically power on
and start recording once power is available.
In some vehicles this will be when connections are made, for others the device will power on
once the ignition has been turned on.
Note:
- Do NOT wire the iN-CAR CAM directly to a 12V supply or damage will result.
- ONLY use the supplied car adaptor cable to supply 5Vdc to the iN-CAR CAM.
The above diagram is for illustration purposes only.

Please read and follow the notes below for the safe operation of your iN-CAR CAM within your vehicle.
As per the installation instructions, it is advised to install the iN-CAR CAM so it does NOT obstruct the
drivers view of the road, preferably on the passenger side of the vehicle and behind the rear view mirror.
Whilst the iN-CAR CAM clearly needs to view through the windscreen in an area swept by the
windscreen wipers, the iN-CAR CAM should be installed so as not to intrude significantly within the
wiped area. A 40mm intrusion into the wiped area is the maximum recommended.
Do NOT mount the iN-CAR CAM in front of the driver, as depicted by the red area in the above
illustration.
When installing the iN-CAR CAM in a vehicle, always place the device securely against the windscreen
and where possible conceal the power cable under trim. Make sure that the iN-CAR CAM power cable
does not interfere with the drivers operating controls, such as the steering wheel, pedals or gear levers.
Do NOT mount the iN-CAR CAM in front of an airbag field of deployment or in a position to obscure
any mirrors.
Clean the windscreen at the point of location, prior to fitting the iN-CAR CAM, also, applying some
moisture to the suction cup may be beneficial, to ensure absolute adhesion.
It is recommended NOT to operate the iN-CAR CAM whilst driving. The automatic Start-Stop
technology incorporated within the device negates any need to operate the controls whilst driving.
Adjust any settings or review recordings whilst stationery, not whilst driving.
After the preliminary SETUP has been carried out upon the iN-CAR CAM, adjust the Screen Saver
setting to 10 Seconds, this will blank the screen automatically shortly after starting the vehicle and
the screen will NOT be a distraction in any way to the driver.
