Forward Facing Dash Cam

The optimal installation position is the area behind the rear view mirror on the front windshield. Specific requirements and reasons are as follows:

1. Core Position: The black edge area of the front windshield directly behind the rear view mirror (attach closely to the rear view mirror if there is no black edge). This location maximizes device concealment, avoids obstructing the driver’s view, reduces lens glare caused by direct sunlight, adapts to the product’s high and low temperature resistance, and minimizes damage to the device from high-temperature exposure.
2. Angle Adjustment: After installation, calibrate the lens to ensure the lower part of the screen covers 1/3 of the vehicle’s hood, and the left and right sides extend to the lane edges. Utilize the 130° wide-angle lens to achieve full lane coverage, avoiding image distortion or missing fields of view.

Precautions: Keep away from the front windshield’s rain sensor and lane-keeping assist camera (to avoid interfering with the original vehicle functions), the installation height should not be lower than the upper limit of the windshield’s black edge, and must not block the driver’s view (complying with traffic regulations), for large vehicles such as trucks and RVs, adjust the position according to the curvature of the windshield to ensure the lens is unobstructed and the recording angle covers the front of the vehicle and the range of both side mirrors.

After installation, it is recommended to start the device, preview the screen via the mobile APP, fine-tune the angle to the optimal state, check if the GPS signal is normal (to ensure timestamp synchronization), and verify that the hardwiring/OBDII power lines are neatly hidden to avoid affecting driving safety.
