4. Installation Process

4.1 Insert the SIM and Micro SD Card

1. Open the ZenCAM Cargo device cover using a screwdriver.
   
2. Insert the Nano SIM card and secure it in place.
3. Insert the Micro SD card into the rotating slot, then close and secure the cover.
4. Switch the main power to ON, replace the cover and lock it.
   

4.2 Install the ABS Power Box

Use a 3.5mm drill bit to drill a small hole at the location where the battery box screws will be installed

 

Drill a 30mm hole for the connecting wires between the device and the power box. Drill a smaller pilot hole first to make it easier

Secure the ABS Power Box to the cargo box using screws and an electric drill.

Pass the ZenCAM Cargo tail wires through the hole and connect them to the power box.

4.3 Install the ZenCAM Cargo

Pass the ZenCAM Cargo tail wires through the drilled hole to connect to the power box. Use waterproof rubber plugs to cover the connecting wires, and then install the waterproof rubber plugs in the opening of the cargo box. Connect the connectors of GPS antenna, 4G antenna, power cable, etc. Adjust the wires positions so that they are easy to seal. 

Use a caulking gun to apply sealant to seal the hole and ensure waterproofing.

After applying the sealant, close the battery box cover and tighten the locking screw.

4.4 Connect to Vehicle Power

The wiring path of each vehicle will be different according to the model. For a straight truck, use a tape measure to measure the distance between the ACC line, the ground line and the host OR if in a tractor/trailer scenario, use a tape measure to measure the width indicator light power line, ground line to the main. Refer to the diagrams below:

Find the cargo box through hole where the power cord is passed from the inside of the car to the outside of the car, and make sure the power cord can pass through 

Connect one end of the power cord to the device's accessory cable, and the other end to the vehicle's ACC and ground wires. 

The power cable is connected to the vehicle's ACC and GND:

Put the power cord into the corrugated tube 

Pass the power cord through the hole in the cargo box. Use glue, cable clips, cable ties, etc. to secure the wiring. 

Route the power cable from the outside of the cargo box to the vehicle ACC and ground wire at a suitable location on the bottom of the vehicle. You can follow the original route of the vehicle 

The power cables routed outside the vehicle need to be secured with cable ties to prevent damage due to large vibrations, friction, etc. 

4.5 Install the Door Sensor

Install the door sensor on the side or top edge of the door, ensuring no interference with door movements.

Tighten screws to secure the door sensor, ensuring it is waterproof.

5 Perform AI Calibration      

Before calibration, the equipment needs to be installed and the inside of the cargo box must be empty

Download the Veyes app from the links below:

1. IOS
   
2. Android
   

Launch Veyes application and ensure you are connected to the camera and enter the following credentials:

Username: admin

Click the "Cargo Box" entry to enter the calibration settings interface

Click the calibration menu in the lower right corner to enter the calibration settings interface

Click the "Settings" menu below to enter the "Calibration Parameters Settings" interface

 In the "Calibration Parameters Settings" interface, set the length, width, height of the vehicle cargo box and the equipment installation position. Set the calibration parameter table as shown in the figure below, set the correct values and save.

Click ‘Save’ and then proceed with the AI calibration in the app.

Confirm calibration by clicking ‘Calibrate’ to complete the process.

Common Installation Errors & Troubleshooting

1. Error: Device not powering on

   • Solution: Ensure the power connections are secure and verify the vehicle’s power system compatibility.

2. Error: GPS signal is weak

   • Solution: Confirm that the ZenCAM Cargo is installed in a location with a clear view of the sky.

3. Error: Bluetooth door sensor not responding

   • Solution: Ensure the sensor is within 2 cm of the device and check for any obstructions that could block the signal.

Post-Installation Validation & Testing

1. Check Device Power: Ensure the ZenCAM Cargo powers on and all status lights are green.

2. Verify GPS Functionality: Confirm that the GPS location is accurate by testing the device's real-time tracking.

3. Test Door Sensor: Trigger the door sensor with a magnet to verify the status light changes.

4. Run AI Calibration: Confirm that the AI calibration process completes successfully and accurately tracks cargo information.
