Page 4: About Wheelwitness Hd Pro Plus Dashboard Camera
About WheelWitness HD PRO Plus Dashboard Camera The HD PRO Plus is designed to automatically turn ON when it receives power to the DC IN port. It also automatically shuts down and records for a few extra seconds using the internal battery when the power is shut off (to avoid any sudden power cuts and possibly corrupting data). Under default settings the camera always cycles or “loops” the memory card so you will always be recording and never run out of space. Certain camera functions such as Motion Sensor should remain OFF under normal operating conditions. They are intended to be used ONLY when the vehicle is stationary and would interfere with normal camera operation while driving. Please only change the settings as required! WheelWitness HD PRO Plus Features - Full HD video recording – 1920 x 1080, 30fps. - 140 Degree Wide Angle 6 Glass Lens - Premium – High Sensitivity Low Light CMOS Sensor - Automatic Power On/Record Function - High Fidelity Microphone - Built in GPS – (location is embedded into the video file metadata) - Built in Wi-Fi – Use Android or iPhone to control (3... -

(We recommend to clean the installation area with rubbing alcohol). Then securely lock it. Usually the best result is when the camera is installed near the top of the windshield behind the rearview mirror. The camera lens has to be closest to the glass for prevent reflection. 4. Loosen the adjusting knob and adjust the camera for the best viewing angle. Make sure to tighten the knob so the camera is securely locked in place. P a g e | 4...

Page 21: Hardwiring (Stealth Installation)
Hardwiring (Stealth Installation) Depending on your vehicle and where your cigarette lighter is located, you can choose to use the included power adapter, or opt for our “hardwire” stealth kit. Some vehicles have a switched cigarette lighter output, so if you connect it here, the camera always turns on and off with the cars. Other vehicles, such as older German cars have an always-on outlet, so you either have to manually connect/disconnect the camera or you can hardwire it. The included power adapter is approximately 12 feet and can be routed around your windshield and down the pillar, under you glove box and to the cigarette lighter outlet for a clean install. Stealth Hardwiring If you would like a stealth install that you never have to worry about, we sell a hardwire kit. You can use it to tap into your “Accessory” wire and the camera turns on and off with the vehicle. You never have to remember to turn it on. Using a hardwire kit requires some basic technical skills. Depending on your vehicle, you can route the wires to the back of your cigarette lighter or fuse panel. If wiring to a fuse panel, please use a multi-meter or a test light to find a fuse that is ON when vehicle is in Accessory/Ignition and is off when vehicle is off. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TGQ1Y3Q/ Amazon: WheelWitness Hardwire Kit P a g e | 19... -
