2 Answers
The installation method for a dual-camera dash cam is: 1. Mount the rearview mirror-style dual-camera dash cam onto the original rearview mirror; 2. Insert the car charger cable into the USB port of the device to connect it; 3. Tuck the cable into the gap between the roof trim and the glass, route it along the roof and down the body to reach the car cigarette lighter socket; 4. Insert the car charger plug into the cigarette lighter socket; 5. Connect the rear camera plug to the AVIN; 6. After pulling the cable to the rear of the car, stick it near the rear license plate. The functions of a dash cam are: 1. Protect the driver's legal rights; 2. Play back recorded surveillance footage; 3. Can be used at home as a DV to capture life's fun moments; 4. In case of professional scammers or roadside robberies, the dash cam can provide decisive evidence for solving the case.
With over a decade of experience installing dual-channel dash cams, I'd like to share some practical tips. First, prepare your tools: front/rear cameras, power cables, trim removal tools, and some adhesive tapes. Mount the front camera near the rearview mirror on the windshield without obstructing the view; position the rear camera centrally on the rear window or license plate for optimal coverage. The trickiest part is routing cables: run them along the headliner from front to rear, carefully tucking wires into trim gaps using pry tools to avoid damaging components. For power, the cigarette lighter is simplest, but connect to the ACC fuse box (check your vehicle manual for location) if you need 24/7 surveillance. During testing, verify recording functionality and adjust angles to prevent glare. Pro tip: use Velcro strips for cable management to simplify future maintenance. Also, regularly clean lenses with alcohol wipes to remove dust and extend your dash cam's lifespan.
