Re- pair 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.
