Installation-OBD II:
OBD-II or JBus device plugs into the vehicle’s diagnostic port; the cable attached receives the digital input (ON/OFF) and transmits it to the device that reports to the Azuga cloud.
Follow the below steps to install OBD-II to the Vehicle’s diagnostic port:
- Switch off the vehicle or the unit on which the installation is performed.
- Identify the wire interfaces with sensors that provide a constant voltage input to the Azuga device.
- Couple this wire and the red wire from the Azuga device on one end.
- Map the device to the vehicle.
- Plug the other end of the coupled cable to the vehicle’s diagnostic port to form the OBD-II or JBus connection to the vehicle.
- Setup is initialized and power is received once the LEDs on the Azuga device starts flashing.
Installation-SafetyCam:
SafetyCam and OBD devices are generally paired and shipped together.
| Important: Refer the Pairing section below, if the SafetyCam and GPS/OBD are not shipped together. |
Option 1-Mirror Mount (Recommended):
- Insert one screw into the slot of the lower half of the clip and install the silicone rubber pad as shown.
- Mount the upper half of the clip and tighten the screw with the butterfly nut.
- Install the other screw as shown and mount the clip on the rear-view mirror of the vehicle.
- Tight the clip using the butterfly nut.
- Now, mount the clamp to the attached clip as shown.
| Important: 2 sets of screws are attached, one set is long and the other is short. Choose the suitable set that fits your vehicle. |
- As the mount is installed on the rear-view mirror, Take the connector and attach one end of it to the mount.
- Insert the Safetycam to the other end of the connector.
Option 2-Suction Cap Holder:
- Clean the mounting location with the provided alcohol wipes.
- Ensure the mounting location is clean and dust-free.
- Take the suction mount holder and insert it into the slot in Safetycam.
- Stick the mount with Safetycam as high as possible on the driver side of the windshield.
| Important: The installed SafetyCam should not obstruct the driver's view. |
Powering SafetyCam:
Option 1: OBD-II Power cable:
- Plug the Y cable into the OBD port.
- Route the SafetyCam AI power cable using the provided tool.
- Plug the SafetyCam AI power cable into one end of the Y cable, which is connected to the OBD port
- Plug the other end of the Y cable into the OBD-II device.
Option 2: Hard-wired:
- A hardwire kit and an Add-a-fuse kit are required.
- Locate the fuse box and remove the panel to access the fuses and slots.
- Locate a fuse that has constant (usually red) power even when the vehicle is off.
- Connect the RED wire to the hot wire or battery.
- Connect the BLACK wire to the chassis ground (Ground wire).
- Connect the YELLOW wire to the fuse box or the ignition line.
| Important: Ground wire is generally ring shaped or C-shaped. The yellow wire is recommended to connect to the fuse. No power feed, if you place them in the wrong order. |
Option 3: Cigarette Lighter Adapter (CLA):
- Plug one end of the USB cable into the Safetycam.
- Route the SafetyCam power cable using the provided tool.
- Plug the other end of the USB cable into the CLA.
