1. Overview:
The SmartWitness CP2 is the world’s most advanced incident camera with powerful
3G video transmission, built-in GPS tracking and drive data. Developed to provide
evidence of events leading up to and during a road traffic accident, the CP2 provides
instant notifications and videos of incidents in less than a minute.
CP2 features a 1080p wide angle HD camera, 3-Axis G-Sensor, Microphone, SD
storage, SIM card slot, integrated GPS receiver, integrated 3G cellular modem,
permanent power cable with optional vehicle input sensors, and a tamper-resistant
design.
a. Benefits:
The CP2 features a 1080p HD wide angle (170°) lens to provide a comprehensive
view of any road event. CP2 will record exactly what happened before, during
and after an incident. It does this by recording the following information: Drivers
view of the road, Vehicle Location, Impact Force of Accident, Audio, and Driving
Style (speed, acceleration, braking, and steering).
This evidence can protect a driver from many of the issues faced on the roads
today: Insurance fraud, Staged Accidents, False/Exaggerated Whiplash Claims,
Conflicting Reports of Actual Events, Driving Offence Allegations (speeding,
traffic signal violations, swerving, etc.).
When a SIM card is inserted, CP2 is able to send video and driving data via a
cellular network (T-Mobile or AT&T in USA, Bell or Rogers in Canada). North
American customers can use the CP2 to transmit safety critical video directly to a
server (SmartWitness server software required), or integrate with Telematics
Software (Please contact us for a list of compatible telematics software). CP2 can
also be used as a stand-alone system utilizing only the SD cards to review video
and data with SmartWitness’ free PC analysis software.

Adjust the bracket by unscrewing the angle bracket lock and removing it. Then
you can slide out the bracket and rotate it to the desired angle (use the windshield
as a guide to determine the angle (see the image in step F). The bracket can be
adjusted up or down based on specific slope of the vehicle’s windshield:
Place the angle lock back into the bracket and secure with the provided screw.
Then attach the provided 3M adhesive pad to the CP2 bracket and press firmly as
shown below:
Secure the CP2 to the windscreen behind the rear view mirror, below the AS1 line.
The camera lens should be as high on the windshield as possible, but still within
the windshield wiper zone. If installing CP2 into a truck, FMCSA mandates that
the camera portion of the device should reside in the top 2 inches of the
vehicle wiper sweep.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the glass is clean and dry before attaching. Hold the camera in
position with firm pressure for 30 seconds. The glass temperature should not be too hot or
cold. Please install in moderate temperature (recommended between 50°F ~ 80°F).

4. CP2 Power Adaptor and Wiring
To connect the CP2 lead cable to the power adaptor (DPWR-600), lining up
the arrows on the silver cable connectors and then push together. Twist the
silver plate as shown below to secure the connection.
After Connecting the power cable to the CP2 power lead, lay out the power
cable roughly where it will run once hidden behind the vehicle's interior
panels. This gives you an idea of where to route the cable and how much
slack to leave on the way down to the vehicle’s power source.
Secure the power cable extension into the headliner and down the A-Pillar.
Route the power cable around the side and behind the rest of the interior
panels down towards the fuse box / power source. Make sure the vehicle is
off and then connect the 4 required wires to the vehicle, as shown below in
the wiring diagram.

the female stereo input on the CP2 and mount the camera to the customer-
specified location in or around the vehicle. The most common installation of the
