Rebooting and Re-Pairing an Auxiliary Camera to Your Dash Cam (WiFi)

Rebooting and Re-Pairing an Auxiliary Camera to Your Dash Cam (WiFi)

Once you've connected the auxiliary camera to a power source, pair it with the vehicle's dashcam. Pairing the auxiliary camera to the dashcam enables the dashcam to pull recordings from the auxiliary camera and upload them to the cloud. Up to four auxiliary cameras can be paired to one dashcam. 
Idea
Tip
If you are installing multiple dashcams, it's easiest to turn on and pair each auxiliary camera one at a time.  


To access the reboot button: 

1. Loosen the two screws at the bottom of the camera. This will allow you to swivel the camera and find the lens.


2. Move the lens ball around until you find the reboot button.


3. Hold the reboot button down for 30 seconds. 
Warning
Attention 
After the reboot process has finished, you will need to pair the auxiliary camera to your dash cam again. Please repeat the steps found below.
