Installation of AI SafetyCam Auxiliary Camera:

Step 1: Confirm the Main SafetyCam Setup:

Before connecting the Wi-Fi Auxiliary Camera, ensure the main AI SafetyCam is:

Associated with a vehicle.
Properly installed.
Functioning correctly.

These steps are essential for seamless integration and optimal performance of the Auxiliary Camera.

For detailed verification steps, refer to the resources below:

Step 2: Connect the Wi-Fi Auxiliary Camera to Power:

To power the auxiliary camera, connect it to a 12V or 24V ignition power source using the provided power cables and a fuse.

Alternatively:

Each auxiliary camera must be fused at the connection point with a 2-amp fuse.
Red wire: Connect to the vehicle’s ignition circuit.
Black wire: Connect to the vehicle ground/chassis.

Important Considerations:

Always connect the auxiliary camera to an ignition power supply to ensure proper operation.
Avoid connecting the auxiliary camera to a constant power supply (such as the OBD-II port), as this may drain your vehicle’s battery.

Warning: This installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Working with a vehicle’s power system can be hazardous. Consult an expert for guidance.

Step 3: Pair the Wi-Fi Auxiliary Camera to Your AI SafetyCam:

After connecting the Auxiliary Camera to an ignition power source, pair it with the AI SafetyCam. This enables the AI SafetyCam to retrieve recordings from the Auxiliary Camera and upload them to the cloud.

Key Points for Auxiliary Camera Connectivity Verification:

Ensure the Auxiliary Camera is properly connected to power.
Use a Wi-Fi-enabled device (phone or tablet) to check for the Auxiliary Camera's signal, listed as AuxCamera_XXXXXX in the available networks.
A maximum of four Auxiliary Cameras can be paired with a single AI SafetyCam. Each Auxiliary Camera must be paired using the same process.
When pairing multiple Auxiliary Cameras, the first one disconnects temporarily when another is paired but reconnects automatically within a minute.
The maximum distance between an Auxiliary Camera and the AI SafetyCam is approximately 10 feet.
Wi-Fi connectivity may be affected by distance or metal obstructions between the Auxiliary Camera and the AI SafetyCam.

Steps to Pair the Wi-Fi Auxiliary Camera:

Prepare for Pairing:
1. Ensure the vehicle is parked, the parking brake is engaged, the ignition is on, and the door is closed.
2. Tap the touchscreen of the AI SafetyCam to access the PIN entry screen.
3. Enter the default PIN 3333 to unlock the AI SafetyCam for the first time. For subsequent access, enter your personalized PIN. The screen unlocks and the menu appears.

Enable the Mobile Hotspot:
1. Once the menu appears, press Settings.
2. Scroll down and select Wi-Fi.

c. Toggle the switch to turn on the Mobile Hotspot

Add an Auxiliary Camera:
1. Return to the Settings menu.
2. Scroll down and press Add Cameras. The AI SafetyCam will search for available unpaired Auxiliary Camera(s). This may take up to a minute.

c. A snapshot from the detected Auxiliary Camera will appear on the screen. If this is the correct Auxiliary Camera, press YES to pair.

Note: If it is not the correct Auxiliary Camera, press NO to continue searching.

Complete the Pairing Process:
1. After pressing YES to pair, the Auxiliary Camera begins pairing with the AI SafetyCam. This process may take up to a minute.
2. Press DONE to return to the Settings screen.
3. Repeat steps 3–4 to pair additional Auxiliary Cameras.

Important: After pairing an additional Auxiliary Camera, the previously connected one may temporarily disconnect but will automatically reconnect within a minute.

Verify the Pairing:
1. Scroll down and press More Info to view all connected Auxiliary Cameras.
2. If any Auxiliary Cameras do not appear, exit the More Info screen, wait for a minute, and check again. The paired cameras should now be visible.

Step 4: Adjust the Auxiliary Camera Viewing Angles:

Now that the auxiliary camera is connected to an ignition power source and paired with the AI SafetyCam, it’s time to adjust the viewing angle before mounting.
Adjusting the angle is important to get the best visibility and coverage. Since auxiliary cameras offer different viewing angles, setting them up correctly ensures clear live viewing and optimized recording during trips.
Take a moment to position the camera for the best perspective before securing it in place.

Follow these steps to adjust the viewing angles of:

Flush-Mount Cameras (Rear Cameras)
Wrap-Mount Cameras (Side Cameras)

4 (a): Adjust the Flush-Mount Auxiliary Camera’s Viewing Angle:

Loosen the screws on each side of the mounting bracket using a Phillips screwdriver.

Loosen the screws on each side of the lens at the bottom of the Auxiliary Camera.

Adjust the lens to achieve the desired viewing angle.
Verify the viewing angle of the Auxiliary Camera using the AI SafetyCam’s Live view or recorded footage.
Tighten the screws to secure the position.

Note: Flush-mount cameras are also known as rear cameras.

4 (b): Adjust the Wrap-Mount Auxiliary Camera’s Viewing Angle:

Loosen the screws on each side of the mounting bracket using a Phillips screwdriver.
Loosen the screws on each side of the lens at the bottom of the Auxiliary Camera.

Adjust the lens to achieve the desired viewing angle.
Verify the viewing angle of the Aux camera using the AI SafetyCam’s Live view or recorded footage.
Tighten the screws to secure the position.

Note: Wrap-mount cameras are also known as side cameras.

Step 5: Mount the Wi-Fi Auxiliary Camera:

Once the viewing angles are set, securely mount the Auxiliary Camera to keep it stable during trips and ensure consistent video recording.
Consider placing Auxiliary Cameras in different locations on your vehicle to enhance tracking and capture additional video perspectives for improved safety.
Remember, each AI SafetyCam supports pairing with up to four Auxiliary Cameras, so you can customize your setup for maximum coverage.

Follow these steps to mount:

Flush-Mount Cameras (Rear Cameras)
Wrap-Mount Cameras (Side Cameras)

5 (a): Steps to Mount the Flush-Mount Auxiliary Camera:

Position and secure the Auxiliary Camera:
1. Select a suitable mounting location on the vehicle.
2. Secure the mounting bracket attached to the camera by screwing it into the vehicle structure.

Caution: The camera's weight alone can damage the skin panels on the doors. Ensure proper support to prevent structural damage.

Use Recommended Fasteners:
1. Choose one of the following options:
  1. Option 1 - M5 machine screws (stainless steel or zinc anodized) with pan heads and M5 rivet nutserts.
  2. Option 2 - M6 machine screws with nyloc nuts and washers.

Note: Flush-mount cameras are also known as rear cameras.

Add Support for Single Panels:
1. If mounting the Aux Camera on a single panel, install a support plate behind it for added stability.
Ensure Cable Slack:
1. Leave some slack in the cable to allow for future adjustments.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Auxiliary camera mounting brackets differ from AI SafetyCam mounting brackets and cannot be used interchangeably.

5 (b): Steps to Mount the Wrap-Mount Auxiliary Camera:

Place the silicone pad along the top of the Auxiliary Camera.
The ridges on the silicone pad cushion the camera, improve sealing, and prevent scratches when securing it with hose clamps.
Slide the hose clamps through the slots at the top of the camera.
Position the hose clamps around the desired mounting location on the vehicle and tighten them using the attached screws.
Ensure the camera is securely mounted and does not shift.

Note: Wrap-mount cameras are also known as side cameras.
