After the car starts, the Dash Cam will automatically start when it is powered on, and the start-up prompt tone "Hello, DDPAI" will be issued, and the Dash Cam will start recording at this time.
Step 3: Determine the installation position of the Dash Cam and adjust the lens angle
① After connecting the DDPAI App to the Dash Cam, launch the app, tap“Device Settings”> “ADAS intelligent assistance reminder”> “Adjust ADAS Installation position”.
② Select “Go to live preview”>“Enter live preview”to enter the calibration interface. Then you will see the on-screen instructions to assist with installation, according which the installation position of the N5 Dual is located.
● Vertically: Moving the N5 Dual side to side with the help of the vertical guideline on the middle of the screen, keep adjusting until to the middle of the vehicle’s front end align to this vertical guideline.
● Horizontally: Rotating the camera up and down with the help of the horizontal guideline on the middle of the screen, keep adjusting until the ground-level horizon outside vanishes from the scope of this horizontal guideline.
Please refer to the horizon line and vertical center line to determine the position of the Dash Cam, otherwise it will affect the use of ADAS.
③ After completing the installation, tap “Calibration completed”.
Step 5: Stabilize the Dash Cam
① After determining the installation position of the Dash Cam, attach the electrostatic sticker to the installation position.
② Peel off the film of the 3M sticker on the bracket, and stick the bracket to the center of the electrostatic sticker.
Please pay attention to the direction and position when attaching the 3M sticker which is a disposable item. Please confirm that the recording angle of the Dash Cam is correct before attaching.
Step 6: Wiring
As shown in the following figure, please place the power cord from the cigarette lighter receptacle to the fixed position of the Dash Cam, and hide the power cord in the plastic guard plate of the car by using the crowbar.
● The cigarette lighter receptacle might be positioned differently in your car. The figure above is provided for reference only.
● You can watch the installation video below for reference.
