Mounting the Dashcam

You can attach the Dashcam to your car’s 

windshield with the included suction cup mount. 

Consider carefully where to attach the suction cup 

mount in your car. The mount should not block 

your view of the road, interfere with the mirror or 

controls, or obstruct the airbag.

1. 

Fit the included tripod mount into the suction 

cup base by rotating clockwise until the tripod 

mount is secured tightly.

2. 

Remove the clear protective film from the 

suction cup.

3. 

Press the suction cup against the windshield, 

and then push the locking lever all the way 

down towards the suction cup to lock into place. 

4.  Slide the Dashcam onto the tripod mount.
5.  Connect the Dashcam to power - see 

“Connecting the Dashcam”

.

When adjusting viewing angle, aim the 

Dashcam slightly towards ground with less 

sky in view. This helps reduce lens glare 

when your car is facing the sun.
