How to Set the AI-12 Dash Cam Viewing Angles

You can set the viewing angles of both the road-facing and in-cab lenses.

To Set the View Angles:

  1. When you are in park with the parking brake on, the ignition on, and the doors closed, press the touchscreen to view the PIN screen.

  2. Enter the default PIN of 3333 to unlock the dash cam, or use your own PIN if you have already set it up.


  3. Press Live View.



    You can use the arrow keys to toggle between road-facing and in-cab views.

  4. Use the provided screwdriver that was included in the box to loosen the three security screws on the round side of the dash cam. Do NOT remove the screws fully.

    When positioning the dash cam, place it as high as possible on the driver's side of the windshield.
    Important
    The dash cam must be installed at least 1.6 meters (63 inches) above the ground for road-facing ADAS.

    Caution
    Some jurisdictions have regulations that prohibit or restrict where objects can be placed on the windshield. Be sure to comply with the law.
      Ensure that:
  1. there is a clear view of the driver's upper body.
    Note
    When using MV+AI, the driver's upper body must be in view of the in-cab lens.

  2. there is a clear view of the road.

  3. the dash cam doesn't obstruct the driver's field of vision.

  4. the dash cam is in the vehicle's wiper path so the road-facing lens is not obstructed by rain or snow.

  5. nothing in the cab blocks the in-cab lens, such as sun visors, blinds, or mirrors.

      7. Tighten the security screws when finished. Once they are tightened, the two lenses can be tilted forward or backward.
