Automatic Booting
Once the AP1 has been wired to your OBDII port or vehicle
power source, the AP1 will boot up automatically. It will take
around 55 seconds for the unit to be ready to operate.
1. VIDEO RECORDING
Continuous Record
This is the default mode for recording. Your AP1 begins recording after booting up and
continues to record the entire time the device is on. In this mode, the microSD card
storage may fill up quicker and overwrite your oldest recordings when it’s full. The
resolution and frame rates can be set as per your requirements.
Event Record
The unit will record when triggered by impact, various configurable driving events
(e.g, speeding or forward collision) or events triggered by the “Panic” (Rec) button.
You can set the record time during the calibration setting mode.
Dual Record, Continuous + Event
Continuous record files will be stored in the “Normal” folder, and event record files
will be stored in the “Event” folder on the microSD card.
Drive Data
DRV data (drive data) will record driving information regardless of events. DRV files
consist of GPS, G-sensor, ADAS and OBD data. DRV files overwrite your device’s oldest
data. DRV files upload to the server every 10 minutes by default but can
increase to every minute.
Time and Date
This information will be provided by GPS satellites automatically.
2. WIFI
To connect to the device via Wi-Fi, please press the “multifunction” button and
hold for 5 seconds (long press), wait 3 seconds and then connect directly to the
AP1 via Wi-Fi using your mobile device.
3. VOLUME CONTROL
Please press the volume button to control. The volume level is 1 to 5.
KEY
FUNCTIONS

5SMARTWITNESS AP1 USER GUIDE
Lane Departure Warning
Your vehicle crosses a solid lane
line on either side of the road.
Forward Collision Warning
Your vehicle is likely to collide
with something in front of
the vehicle.
ADAS
FUNCTIONS
Caution
ADAS functionality is not a substitute for an alert, trained and engaged driver. ADAS functionality
will be impaired by many things, including but not limited to device malfunction, obstruction
of the device’s image sensor, intense weather conditions that reduce the visibility aorded
to the device’s image sensor, and poor and/or faded road and lane striping/markings.
Headway Monitoring Warning
Your vehicle is not maintaining
a safe distance with the vehicle
in front of you (tailgating).

6SMARTWITNESS AP1 USER GUIDE
DISCLAIMER
The AP1 is not a substitute for a safe, conscientious
driver. The AP1 cannot compensate for a driver who is
distracted, inattentive or impaired by fatigue, drugs or
alcohol. Whether or not the AP1 is in use, it is always
the driver’s responsibility to take appropriate corrective
action. It does not eliminate or decrease the need for
a driver to stay alert and to obey all trac laws while
operating a vehicle. Never wait for the device to provide
a warning before taking measures to avoid an accident.
Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or
death or severe property damage.
Always, it is the driver’s responsibility to:
• Use safe driving techniques
• Exercise proper judgment
• Maintain a safe speed and distance between vehicles
• Take measures to avoid an accident
• Comply with all applicable laws and regulations
The driver and front passenger must always be correctly
seated with seat belts fastened when operating the
vehicle to reduce the potential danger of injuries.
OPERATIONAL CONCERNS
In certain conditions, including inclement weather,
low visibility and certain road conditions (including poor
lane markings, construction zones, dirt roads, heavy
or complicated trac, and curvy and winding roads),
the AP1 may have limited to no functionality. The AP1
may not detect certain objects such as motorcyclists,
bicyclists or pedestrians even in the most ideal
conditions. Always keep the lens and view of the AP1
unobstructed and properly calibrated so as not to
inhibit function. Driving in certain conditions or any
interference with the AP1 can result in false, few or no
warnings. The driver must always monitor trac and
surroundings and take measures to avoid an accident;
failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or
death or severe property damage.
If the AP1 is not functioning properly at any time, please
contact your distributor or visit support.smartwitness.com
and have the device inspected immediately to correct
the issue. Whether or not the AP1 is functioning, it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain vehicle control; failure
to do so can result in serious personal injury or death or
severe property damage.
CLEANING ADVISORY
While cleaning the device or the vehicle cab, do not
apply compressed air or cleaning solutions (such as
Windex) to the AP1 device. Usage of these products
may cause damage to the device.
DRIVER SAFETY
WARNINGS

7SMARTWITNESS AP1 USER GUIDE
When satellites don’t have line
of sight, cellular towers help
triangulate a vehicle’s location.
GPS
RECEPTION
IMPROVE YOUR SIGNAL
1. Activate your AP1 in an area
without large buildings.
2. The optimum operating
temperature for your vehicle’s
GPS is -10°C~50°C
3. When first using your AP1 or
turning it on after a period
(>3 days), allow more time to
recognize your current location.
4. This product supports
Assisted GPS.
RECEPTION MAY BE IMPAIRED:
1. If your vehicle has metallic elements on the windshields.
2. If you install equipment generating electromagnetic waves that
interfere with the GPS signal in the vehicle (ex: Other GPS devices
like certain wireless activated alarms, MP3 and CD players and
camera alarms use GPS.)
3. On heavily overcast or cloudy days if the vehicle is:
• In a covered place such as under a bridge or raised roadway
• In a tunnel
• In an underground roadway or a parking area
• Inside a building or garage
• Surrounded by high-rise buildings
4. If GPS signal reception is poor. It may take longer to locate your
current position when the vehicle is moving than when it’s stationary.

15SMARTWITNESS AP1 USER GUIDE
AP1
ADAS DISCLAIMER
To properly activate and utilize AP1’s ADAS features,
Sensata | SmartWitness recommends installation
using OBDII data or JBUS connection. Vehicle-sourced
speed data retrieval through these means is integral to
accessing vehicle speed for precise ADAS notifications.
For installations (ex: 3-Wire) without vehicle data
retrieval or in instances where speed is unobtainable
from the vehicle, AP1 defaults to GPS speed
measurement in the operation of ADAS features. In this
case, vehicles must surpass a speed threshold to trigger
ADAS functions. This threshold
is distinct from other speed thresholds used to
configure ADAS events. Please contact your
SmartWitness | Sensata integration team to learn
about specific values for dierent event types. Below
these thresholds, and in cases where vehicles without
vehicle-sourced speed data encounter GPS signal
“dead zones” like parking garages and highway tunnels,
loss of ADAS function is expected.
If you enable ADAS features on an AP1, you assume full
responsibility and indemnify Sensata | SmartWitness for
any incidents directly correlated with ADAS ecacy,
malfunction or delays.
