B. Ensure Secure Connections between Rear Auxiliary Camera and SafetyCam Plus:

  1. Verify that the connection between the rear Auxiliary Camera and SafetyCam Plus is firm and stable.
  2. A secure connection is essential for the system's reliability and performance.

C. Connect the SafetyCam Plus to the Y–Cable:

  1. Plug the male end of the Y-cable into the vehicle’s diagnostic port.

  2. Connect the OBD-II device to one of the female ends on the Y-cable.

  3. Attach the connector end of the SafetyCam’s power cable to the other available female end on the Y-cable.

  4. Connect the remaining end of the power cable to the SafetyCam to complete the setup.

  1. Run the power cable neatly along the vehicle’s headliner.
  2. Route the cable down the A-pillar toward the OBD-II port.
  3. Power your SafetyCam using the OBD-II port.

Note: Do not mount the rear Auxiliary Camera until Step 4.

Step 3: Adjust the Rear Auxiliary Camera Viewing Angles:

  1. Ensure SafetyCam Association for Live Streaming:

    • Before starting Live Streaming, make sure the main SafetyCam is properly associated with the vehicle. Without this association, the SafetyCam details will not appear on the Azuga platform (web or mobile), and Live Streaming for adjusting viewing angles will not be possible.

  2. Utilize the Azuga Fleet Mobile (AFM) App:
    • The Azuga Fleet Mobile (AFM) app is highly recommended for adjusting the rear Auxiliary Camera's viewing angles. Its user-friendly interface allows operators to quickly and effectively make the necessary adjustments while on the go.
  3. Live Streaming Feature
    • The Live Streaming feature is crucial for real-time monitoring and adjustments. Users can view the camera feed live, ensuring they can make precise angle alterations based on current conditions.

For detailed guidance on the association and viewing angle adjustments, refer to the resources below:

Step 4: Securely Mount the Rear Auxiliary Camera:

  1. Peel off the adhesive backing from the rear Auxiliary Camera and position it on the rear windshield at the desired location.
  2. Press the rear Auxiliary Camera firmly to ensure a secure bond and verify its alignment for optimal viewing.
  3. Allow the adhesive to set for a few minutes to keep the rear Auxiliary Camera stable and prevent any movement.

Step 5: Confirm Successful Installation:
