2. Preparation for Installation
2.1 Technical Requirements for Installation
Relevant personnel shall be familiar with the functions, applications and the overall
composition principle of the product.
Relevant personnel shall understand the electrical circuits and structure of motor
vehicles, and common installation methods of in-vehicle equipment.
2.2 Understanding of Installation Environment
Before equipment installation, relevant personnel shall have a clear understanding
of the vehicle model concerned, the installation positions of the main unit and
auxiliary cameras of the DVR, the type and length of cables required for each
vehicle model, and the list of common auxiliary materials, so as to ensure successful
completion of equipment installation and commissioning.
2.3 Confirmation of Vehicle Conditions and Vehicle-related Electrical
Information
Confirmation of vehicle information is the basic precondition of successful
installation and also the guarantee of division of responsibilities to avoid any
damage to the vehicle. For each component, proceeding to next step is only allowed
after clear confirmation, and each operation shall be confirmed by the person in
charge of the vehicle and the installation personnel.
(1) Check the appearance and interior trims of the vehicle for any damage.
(2) Check whether the vehicle can ignite normally.
(3) Check whether the vehicle power supply system is in good condition.
*Note: Confirmation of the above information is crucial. Installation can only be
carried out after the above information is considered normal through confirmation.
2.4 Power Supply Connection of Vehicle
AD Plus has two power supply connection modes:
1. Quick plug-in type power supply connection through OBD interface: This
mode is suitable for quick installation by users themselves. For details of this
power supply mode, please refer to the accompanying AD Plus Product
Manual in the AD Plus packing box. It will not be detailed here.
2. Power supply connection through discrete wire: This mode requires operation
by specialized installation personnel. The following mainly describes the mode

www.streamax.com
Page 9of 52
of connection to the vehicle power supply according to the power cable
requirements of the product.
(1) Required tool: multimeter.
(2) Selection of power supply connection position
When the vehicle is shut down, use a test pencil to detect whether the circuit is live.
If it is live, it is judged as a constant power supply, and then measure the voltage.
When the vehicle is shut down and is in ACC position or ignition state, use a test
pencil to detect whether the circuit is live. If it is electrically neutral in shutdown
state, and is live in ACC position or ignition state, it is judged as an ACC power
cable, and then measure the voltage.
(3) Voltage measurement of power supply connection
Constant power supply: When the vehicle is shut down, use a multimeter to
measure whether the voltage of the constant power supply cable is about 24V. If the
voltage of multiple cables is about 24V in shutdown state, select the cable with
higher current as the constant power supply connection cable.
ACC:When the vehicle is in ACC position or ignition state, use a multimeter to
measure whether the voltage is about 24V. If the voltage is 0 in shutdown state and
about 24V in ACC position or ignition state, select the cable as the ACC power
supply connection cable.
*Note: During power supply connection, first conduct measurement at the positive
and negative terminals of the power supply with a multimeter, to avoid wrong
connection.
2.5 Connection of Necessary Signal Cables
Where required, the following signal cables must also be connected to enable the
intelligent assisted driving functions of AD Plus:
(1) Vehicle speed pulse cable or CAN data cable - to obtain accurate vehicle speed
data;
(2) Left and right steering signal cables - to obtain left and right steering
information of vehicle;
(3) Brake signal cable - to obtain vehicle braking information.
Please consult the maintenance engineer of the vehicle discipline for specific
position of vehicle speed pulse cable/CAN data cable. Generally, the left and right
steering signal cables and the brake signal cable are arranged on the fuse board
below the steering wheel or below the front passenger dashboard, and measurement
for these cables can be conducted using a multimeter.
*Note: If the measured signal is a pulse signal, the source of left steering/right
steering/brake signal shall be set as pulse on the setting interface of the main unit; if
the measured signal is a continuous high or low level signal, the source of left
steering/right steering/brake signal shall be set as level on the setting interface of the
main unit.

metal strip side up.
After installation of SIM card and Micro SD card, fasten the card slot panel.
4.2 Selection of DVR Installation Area
Requirements for installation area of AD Plus:
(1) The DVR must be installed in the middle of the front windshield. It is
generally installed in the rearview mirror area above the centerline of the front
windshield. A deviation less than 5 cm on the left and right sides is allowed for
the installation position if it is not feasible to install the device in the middle as
required (The deviation of the DVR relative to the centerline of the front
windshield shall be calculated with the centerline of the front camera lens).
(2) When conditions permit, the height of the DSC camera lens shall not exceed
the height of the driver's eyes, and the installation position shall be as low as
possible provided that the driver's view is not obstructed. The linear distance
from the position of the DSC camera lens to the driver's face shall not be more
than 116cm.
(3) The external camera lens of the DVR must be within the working range of the
left and right wipers (to ensure that the external camera lens screen is clean and
free from stains)
(4) The preferred vertical distance from the external camera lens of the DVR to the
ground is in the range of 130cm-240cm
(5) Avoid installing other electronic devices around the DVR as far as possible,
including ETC, intelligent rearview mirrors, electronic tags; otherwise, they

DVR is vertical at this moment).

www.streamax.com
Page 18 of 52
Fasten the bracket stud to ensure that the angle of the DVR will not be changed
easily. Remove the level, and fix the DVR.
* Notes:
Make sure that the connection between the bracket and the main unit is fastened
(the device is rigidly connected with the vehicle), so that the main unit will not
shake easily. Otherwise, the GPS positioning will be inaccurate.
Only after the main unit is firmly connected with the vehicle can the device be
powered on.
If the device is fixed and installed after power-on, it shall be powered on again
before being tested or used.
The GPS module built in ADPlus is an inertial navigation module, and the above
requirements can ensure the normal operation of inertial navigation products.

Page 19 of 52
(1) If the mode of quick power supply connection through OBD interface is
adopted, locate the OBD interface of the vehicle and directly connect with the
interface.
(2) If the mode of power supply connection through discrete wire is adopted,
according to the definition of power discrete wire, connect
POWER/ACC/GND with the power cable of the vehicle, respectively.

www.streamax.com
Page 20 of 52
*Note:
The power cable shall be connected using "special stripping-free connection
terminal" where possible (no stripping is required, so as to avoid the risk of electric
leakage), and the connection shall be wrapped with insulated rubber tape to avoid
electric leakage/short circuit.
If there is no special stripping-free connection terminal, stripped wires can also be
used for connection. In this case, the connection process must conform to the
standard specifications. After the connection is completed, the connection shall be
wrapped with insulated rubber tape to avoid electric leakage/short circuit.
4.6.2 Connection of Signal Cables (Pulse or CAN/Left/Right Steering
Signal/Reversing)
1. Vehicle speed pulse or CAN (one out of two)
(1) Consult the maintenance engineer of the vehicle discipline to locate the
vehicle speed pulse cable. In the power supply cable of AD Plus:
Connect "SPEED A" to the vehicle speed pulse cable;
Connect "SPEED B" to the vehicle ground wire.
After the connection is completed, log in to the Veyes APP to connect the
AD Plus. Enter the configuration interface, and set the speed source of the
equipment as "Pulse". At the same time, drive the vehicle for a short
distance at the installation site to test the accuracy of vehicle speed pulse
data.
*Note:
To avoid interference with vehicle speed pulse by other electrical signals
of the vehicle, a ground wire must be connected here.
(2) Consult the maintenance engineer of the vehicle discipline to locate the OBD
interface of the vehicle. Generally, the position of the OBD interface of the
vehicle is as shown in the figure below. Locate CAN-H and CAN-L cables of
the vehicle behind the OBD interface. Take the standard 16PIN inverted
trapezoidal OBD interface as an example, CAN-H and CAN-L cables
generally correspond to pins 6 and 14, respectively. (The cable sequence varies
with the shape of OBD interface. The example here is only for illustration.)
