Important

The dashcam must be installed at least 1.6 meters (63 inches) above the ground for road facing ADAS.

  • Ensure that:

    • There is a clear view of the driver's upper body.

    • There is a clear view of the road.

    • The dashcam doesn't obstruct the driver's field of vision.

    • There is sufficient space to mount with the optional anti-tamper cover.

    • The dashcam is in the vehicle's wiper path so the road-facing lens is not obstructed by rain or snow.

    • Nothing in the cab blocks the in-cab lens, such as sun visors, blinds, or mirrors.

  1. Use the special screwdriver that was included in the box to tighten the three security screws on the round side of the dashcam. Once the screws are tightened, the two lenses can be tilted forwards or backwards together but not separately.

To mount the AI-12 dashcam on a vehicle's windshield

  1. Ensure that no moisture is present (this can happen at certain time of day)

  2. That the air temperature is above 10°C (50F)

  3. Clean the windshield!

  4. Ensure the mounting area has minimal windshield curvature!

  5. Mark the location on windshield with non-permanent marker

  6. Ensure sufficient space has been left for the mounted optional Anti-Tamper cover mounted and AI-12 to slide into the mounting bracket.

  7. Remove the mounting bracket from the AI-12.

  8. Clean the area with alcohol wipe allow to dry.

Caution

The adhesive is very sticky. Once applied to the windshield, it will not come off easily.

  2. Externally check for any air bubbles trapped in the adhesive.

    • You may need to (carefully) apply additional pressure to the bracket and remove any large air bubbles. Use a small pin to create an escape path for the air if the problem is persistent.

  3. Route power cable from fuse board (OBD port) to mounting location securing with Zip/Cable ties.

  4. Wait 10 minutes before placing weight/ sliding the AI-12 onto the bracket.
