Installation

Location

To have a better view, try to install the front camera at the center of the windshield. Make sure the lens is located in a place where the windshield is clean to ensure the view is clear. The recommended rear camera installation location is dead centre of the rear windshield.

Make sure the device is not installed in a place where it will interfere with the airbag. Make sure the GPS will not be obstructed by the windshield's sun control film (window tint).

Installing the Front Camera

  1. Slide the sticker mount bracket into the device bracket slot and make sure it fits tightly.
  2. Clean the area you desire to have the dash cam placed before sticking the device.
  3. Peel off the sticker protective film from the 3M sticker on the GPS module.
  4. Press and apply force on the mount onto the windshield behind the rear- view mirror.
  5. Arrange and hide the cables to avoid obstruction for the driver's view.
  6. Adjust the viewing angle of the camera. We recommend the camera should point slightly downwards ~10° below eye level.

warning
NOTE
Do not install the product in a location where it can obstruct the driver's field of vision.

Installing the Rear Camera

(for iGoCam 90R)
Always check the label on the rear camera cable before connecting the camera to the rear camera and front camera. This is to ensure the cable is connected to the corresponding connector port. Otherwise, the rear camera video feed will not display on the front camera screen.

  1. Peel off the sticker protective film from the 3M sticker on the rear camera.
  2. Mount the rear camera and apply force on the mount onto the centre rear of the windshield.
  3. Check the label on the rear camera cable before connecting one end to the rear camera and the other end to the front camera.
  4. Arrange and hide the cables to avoid obstruction for the driver's rear view.
  5. Adjust the viewing angle of the camera. We recommend the camera should point slightly downwards ~10° below eye level.

When the rear camera is connected to the front camera and it is currently powered on, the rear camera will be displayed in the right side of the LCD screen. The recording resolution for the rear camera is 1080P.

warning
NOTE
Please ensure the rear camera connection cable is connected/ disconnected when the device power is off or it will damage the product.

GPS Reception information

Surroundings with tall buildings, tunnels or poor weather conditions may result in poor GPS reception or even lose GPS signal. Over-tinting or a rain sensor on the windshield can affect GPS reception.

If the signal is unstable even when you are driving, please try changing the installation spot of your dash camera. For the first time use, it takes about 15~20 minutes to get GPS signal, and after that, it normally takes about 3 minutes.

warning
NOTE
Sticker mount is difficult to remove after it is installed and will not stick well on a curved/textured or wet surface.

Operation

Micro SD Card

warning
NOTE
A compatible micro SD card (not supplied) has to be inserted before you start using the unit. Ensure that the unit is turned off before inserting or removing the micro SD card.

The device can support micro SDHC cards (High Capacity SD) or SDXC cards (Extended Capacity SD) up to 128GB in capacity. A micro SD card of at least 16GB capacity and minimum speed of Class U3 is required.
Insert a formatted micro SD card gently in the slot at the side of the unit. To remove the card from the slot, press the edge of the micro SD card inwards for it to pop out and then pull it out of the slot.

It is important to format the micro SD card before using it, so as to avoid any damage to the files created on iGO CAM 90/90R.
Uniden only recommends using good quality MLC/SLC micro SD cards.
Please ensure that the SD card used is rated for Dash Cam use.
