console








Installation of Road Facing Camera


1. Must be installed in the middle of the front windshield.

2. If the wiper stops at the lower part of the front windshield, the installation position 

shall be at least 10 cm above the lower edge of the front windshield to avoid being covered 

by the windshield wiper at stop position

3. Generally, there are symmetrical air outlets on the dashboard near the front windshield. The 

centerline of the front windshield can be found based on the symmetry of the air outlets.

4. The centerline of the front windshield can be determined through the vehicle emblem, as 

shown in the figure below









Installation Steps

1. Clean the interior and exterior of the glass in the target installation area with alcohol cotton 

in the packaging (to ensure that no dirt will affect the angle of view of the camera 

lens), and ensure the glass in the wiping area is dry.

2. Tear off the 3M adhesive film on the camera lens, and then stick the camera 

horizontally and vertically on the front windshield.

A screenshot of a video gameDescription automatically generated with low confidence
















After logging in, click on Preview on the homepage to enter the preview interface, and then click on AI Calibration  on the lower left corner of the screen for calibration selection.















Enter the real-time preview interface and double-click the ADAS channel screen to enter the

mainstream, and then click "AI Calibration" at the lower left corner of the screen to enter the AI

calibration selection interface for ADAS calibration.

Select calibration channel. Since ADAS cameras are all installed in channel 1, select channel












1 here or select the channel that has the road facing camera. Next, click "Calibration" at the lower right corner of the screen to enable the calibration process.


Confirm that the ADAS is installed at a proper position of the front windshield and

within the working range of the wipers, and then click [Next]



In the manual calibration process of ADAS, measure the installation height of ADAS

(the height of the camera lens to the ground, accurate to cm/inch, measured with the same method

adopted in automatic calibration), and enter the value in the EasyCheck interface. Meanwhile, to ensure the accuracy of ADAS algorithm recognition, 3 other parameters also need to be entered in this interface:the left margin of the ADAS camera lens, and the width and the length of the vehicle head. The measurement methods of the three parameters are:

Left margin of the ADAS camera lens: the horizontal distance from the ADAS camera lens to the

outermost edge of the left tire (when viewed outside the vehicle and facing the left side of the vehicle head);

Width of the vehicle head: the distance between the outermost edges of the tires on both sides;

Length of the vehicle head: the horizontal distance from the ADAS camera lens to the license plate.

Refer to the figure below for the example of distance measurement














Enter the 4 parameter values measured in the EasyCheck interface, and click on Next.

Enter the interface shown below. In this interface, you can watch the ADAS calibration tutorial.

If you already know how to calibrate, click on Next.


Click on Next to enter the following interface and start to manually calibrate the ADAS camera lens.
















Open the back cover of ADAS camera and adjust the angle of ADAS lens to make the 20m

calibration line in ADAS calibration screen coincide with the mark point at 20m on the

ground, and the 30m calibration line in ADAS calibration screen coincide with the mark

point at 30m on the ground.



After that, click on Next, select the source of speed according to the actual installation

situation, set the left and right turn signal parameters, and then click "Next". In the next

interface, check whether the left and right turn signals are valid according to the prompts.

After checking, click on Complete to exit the calibration interface.



Go back to the real-time preview interface of ADAS channel (double-click the ADAS

channel screen to enter the main stream), and check that there is no calibration line

superimposed on the screen at this time, which means that ADAS channel has returned to

normal mode at this time.

At this point, tighten the screws for adjusting the ADAS angle and the screws of the back cover

to complete the long-distance calibration.


Installation of Driver Facing Camera

For the driver facing camera, there are three different ways to install the camera on the camera:

  1. A-pillar side mounted CA29M 
  2. A-pillar side glass mounted CA29M 
  3. Countertop mounted CA29M



A-pillar side mounted CA29M

(Focal length: 3mm& 4mm)

A-pillar side glass mounted CA29M

(Focal length: 3mm& 4mm)

Countertop mounted CA29M

(Focal length: 4mm)



Generally, you can choose A-pillar side mounted CA29M or countertop-mounted CA29M 

according to the actual situation. However, since some vehicles have airbags on the A-pillar, there will 

be hidden dangers if the camera is fixed on the A-pillar.

In this case, the CA29M with glass mounting bracket can be chosen and fixed next to the A-pillar. 

Installation Steps & Requirements:

1. When the A-pillar side mounted or A-pillar side glass mounted CA29M camera is selected, the camera should be adjusted to be vertical; when the countertop mounted CA29M is selected, the camera should be adjusted to be horizontal.


2. Distance from the camera lens to the driver's face is 40~80cm, and the recommended installation distance is 50~70 cm


3.The height of the above three driver facing cameras after installation must be lower than 

that of the driver’s face, and the camera lens must have a low angle of view. In principle, the closer 

the driver camera is to the instrument panel, the larger the low angle of view will be, which is favorable. 

However, the driver facing camera can be installed at a higher position, so that it won't be obstructed by the steering wheel.

4. After the appropriate installation position meeting the above requirements for installation details is determined through the driver camera screen, first tighten the upper screw of the driver facing camera mount (with the lower screw of the mount not tightened temporarily, so as to adjust the angle of the camera up and down)




















5. Adjust the left and right angle joints of the driver camera through the hexagon socket screws, so as to adjust the angle of the driver camera left and right.
























6. Tighten the lower screw of the driver facing camera mount and the screws at the left and right angle joints to ensure that the camera will not shake up and down or left and right.

 























Installation of Monitoring Screen 


1. The 3 meter 10 pin cable, is to be connected to the 8 PIN Video Output Cable which goes to slot number 4 on the DVR, mentioned in the schematics section

2. Connect the Monitor to the cable to establish the connection between the DVR and the screen 

3. Mount the monitor screen on the dashboard using a Fan Shaped Bracket

4. When connection established you’ll be able to see the feed of all channels connected to the DVR
