Installation

LocationTo have a better view, try to install the front camera at the center of the windshield. Make sure the lens is located in a place where the windshield is clean to ensure the view is clear. The recommended rear camera installation location is the dead center of the rear windshield.Make sure the device is not installed in a place where it will interfere with the airbag. Make sure the GPS will not be obstructed by the windshield’s sun control film (window tint).Installing the Front Camera1. Slide the sticker mount bracket into the device bracket slot and make sure it fits tightly.2. Clean the area you desire to have the dashcam placed before sticking the device.3. Peel off the sticker protective film from the 3M sticker on the GPS module.4. Press and apply force on the mount onto the windshield behind the rear-view mirror.5. Arrange and hide the cables to avoid obstruction for the driver’s view.6. Adjust the viewing angle of the camera. We recommend the camera should point slightly downwards ~10° below eye level.Do not install the product in a location where it can obstruct the driver’s field of vision.

Installing the Rear Camera (for iGoCam 75R)Always check the label on the rear camera cable before connecting the camera to the rear camera and front camera. This is to ensure the cable is connected to the corresponding connector port. Otherwise, the rear camera video feed will not display on the front camera screen.

  2. Mount the rear camera and apply force on the mount onto the center rear of the windshield.

The recording resolution for the rear camera is 1080P.Please ensure the rear camera connection cable is connected/disconnected when the device power is off or it will damage the product.GPS Reception informationSurroundings with tall buildings, tunnels or poor weather conditions may result in poor GPS reception or even loss GPS signal. Over-tinting or a rain sensor on the windshield can affect GPS reception.If the signal is unstable even when you are driving, please try changing the installation spot of your dash camera. For the first time use, it takes about 15~20 minutes to get a GPS signal, and after that, it normally takes about 3 minutes.Sticker mount is difficult to remove after it is installed and will not stick well on a curved/textured or wet surface.
