Chapter 1 Preparation
Construction Preparation

Technicians should have a good command of the following aspects:

 The functions and application of the G4 device.
 The components and working principle of the whole system.
 Internal architecture of motor vehicle and electrical wiring.
 Experience of common in-vehicle devices installation and construction.

Before the installation, get familiar with the aspects closely related to the construction site, such as
installation location, the vehicle model, the selection of the installation location of the G4 device
and the camera, cable length, tools, to make sure the installation and debugging go well.

Confirming the vehicle electrical information is one crucial step for the installation process and can
help avoid potential responsibilities related to the potential vehicle damage. Check all of the
following items before the next installation steps:
 Whether the vehicle can start up normally.
 Whether the power system is well and whether other electrical malfunctions exist.
 Whether the appearance damage exists on the vehicle.

Tools
Prepare the following tools before installation.

Requirements for Installtion

Install and debug the intelligent terminal by strictly following the instructions below to improve the
device stability and ensure the terminal delivery. Consider the following aspects when selecting
the installation location and methods.
 Anti-vibration: Select the location where the vehicle vibration is relatively weak (such as the
rear or lateral rear space of the driver’s seat) and is away from the vehicle engine. If you select

3
 Mobile Video Recorder (G4) • Installation Guide and Platform Settings

the center console as the installation site, make sure the terminal is firmly installed to avoid
device moving during driving.
 Heat dissipation: Make sure the device is away from the heat source of the vehicle and is
installed on the location with good ventilation.
 Waterproof method: Waterproof the terminal and other devices and install the bracket and
protection box when necessary.
 Moisture-proof method: Install the terminal on a moisture-proof and well-ventilated location.
 Dustproof method: Install the terminal on the location where the dust is relatively less.
 Electricity: Keep the terminal away from magnetic interference.
 Cable routing: Make sure the cable routing is hidden. Wrap the cables with corrugated pipes to
make sure the cable routing is neat.

Connect to Power

Steps:
Find the vehicle signal cables: power anode, power cathode (ground), and ignition signal
(ACC ON).
Use the electro probe to test whether the cable is powered after turning off the vehicle. If
the current is detected, this cable is connected to constant power and then you can test the
voltage.
Identify the ACC signal cable: Test the cable with the electro probe when the vehicle is
turned off and under ACC gear respectively. If no current is detected when the vehicle is
turned off, but the current is detected under the ACC gear, this cable is an ACC cable. Then
you can test the voltage. Make sure the vehicle power cord and ACC power cord voltage is
normal when the vehicle is turned off or ignited. You can take it as the power supply point
for the device.
The following figures are only for illustration. The actual vehicle model prevails.

Connect to Power

Connect G4 Device to Power

Steps:
Pull the power cord out gently from the fuse box and lead the cable up along the A pillar.
Route the cable closely along the windshield and connect it to the G4 device.
Hide the cable on the vehicle roof.

Route the Driving Safety Camera cables with the same method.

Cautions
 Strictly comply with electricity regulations when connecting the device power cord, ACC cable,
and ground cable.
 DO NOT use the power cord and ACC cable at the same time to avoid exceptional device
power-off when you turn off the vehicle. It will damage both the TF card and the device, and
cause TF card exception.
 When you use the TF card for the first time, insert the TF card into the device and format the
card on the app. Then the TF card can be used for recording. Otherwise, the TF card cannot be
used normally.
