Surfsight™ auxiliary cameras are cameras connected to the Surfsight™ . When connected to the dashcam, the cameras enable tracking and live video recording from the portal of additional perspectives during trips. The cameras are installed around the vehicle exterior in key locations. All auxiliary cameras include a 64 GB SD card that stores approximately 100 hours of recordings. When the SD card is full, new recordings overwrite the oldest recordings.
Warning
Opening the auxiliary camera ball voids the warranty.

Note
A WiFi connection can be affected by distance and the amount of metal between the auxiliary camera and dashcam . We recommend using wired auxiliary cameras if the cameras are to be installed far from the dashcam , and particularly if they are installed on the opposite end of the vehicle.
The diagrams below show the installation and connectivity between the dashcam and auxiliary cameras.
WiFi auxiliary cameras pair to the dashcam through WiFi, and do not need to be physically connected to a router. Using WiFi makes installation easier.
In unobstructed environments we recommend using the WiFi auxiliary camera models to connect to the dashcam hotspot if the distance between the auxiliary cameras and the hotspot is not more than 10 meters.
In other environments, we recommend connecting using a wired solution . See The AI-12 dashcam WiFi and hotspot for more information.
Wired auxiliary cameras are hardwired to a router that is paired with the dashcam. If the auxiliary camera is going to be mounted further away from the dashcam, or if there is a lot of metal in between, use the wired option. This increases reliability.
Side cameras come with hose clamps and a silicone pad. They are mounted on the mirrors of the vehicle.

The dashcam pulls auxiliary camera recordings approximately once a minute, one auxiliary camera at a time. Each video file transfer takes about thirty (30) seconds.
