Installing the Surfsight™ dash cam

NOTE: Before you start the installation, make sure that the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the windshield is clean and dry.

* Some jurisdictions have regulations that prohibit or restrict where objects can be placed on the windshield. Be sure to comply with applicable law.

Follow these steps to begin installation:

1. Attach the mounting bracket onto the dash cam.
2. Place the dash cam as high as possible on the driver side of the vehicle.
3. Remove the 3M adhesive tape cover, and mount the dash cam to the windshield.
4. Follow one of the two installation options:

Option 1: Geotab HRN-TNULL harness with Surfsight power harness

Refer to steps 1- 3 in the HRN-TNULL for Camera Solutions document to continue the installation, along with the Important Safety Information and Limitations of Use section.

After installing your dash cam following steps 1-3 in the HRN-TNULL for Camera Solutions document, follow these steps:

1. Connect the Surfsight power harness to the dash cam. Once you have hardwired the power source, the dash cam starts up automatically every time the vehicle moves.
2. Start your vehicle to test the dash cam.

NOTE: When a dash cam is in storage, the battery gets completely drained. Before using the dash cam, you need to charge it for an extended period of time, using at least a 2A power source before turning it on.

3. Once you have tested your dash cam, run the power cable along the headliner of the vehicle from the A-Pillar to the power source.

You have successfully installed your dash cam!

Now that you have successfully installed your dash cam, go to the Set the dash cam viewing angles section.

Option 2: Hardwire kit (suggested for Professional Installers)

Refer to the About the Hardwire kit and Getting ready to hardwire section. Then follow the steps in the Hardwire to the vehicle fuse box section prior to continuing to Set the dash cam viewing angles.

About the Hardwire kit

Hardwiring the dash cam to the vehicle’s fuse box is one of the most common installation methods to power on your dash cam. To maximize the AI-12 dash cam features such as standby mode, the dash cam must be connected to a constant 12V or 24V power source.

Getting ready to hardwire

Hardwire to the vehicle fuse box

To hardwire the dash cam, follow these steps:

1	Insert the new fuse box tap that was provided in the installation kit into slot 1 of the add-a-fuse kit.
2	Insert the fuse from the vehicle fuse box into slot 2. NOTE: If you insert them in the wrong order, the power will not feed through.
3	Trim off some of the rubber tubing to expose the wiring on your hard-wired cable.
4	Using standard needle-nose pliers, crimp the hard-wired cable with the terminal crimp connector that was included in the add-a-fuse kit.
5	Connect your add-a-fuse kit to the vehicle fuse slot you chose.
6	Connect the ground wire by slipping it under a metal bolt or screwing it into your vehicle. If needed, use a socket wrench set to loosen the bolt. NOTE: A loose ground wire can result in power issues for your dash cam. We recommend grounding your wire to an unpainted bare metal bolt.
7	Connect the power cable to the dash cam.
8	Start your vehicle to test the dash cam. NOTE: When a dash cam is in storage, the battery gets completely drained. Before using the dash cam, you need to charge it for an extended period of time, using at least a 2A power source before turning it on.
9	Once you have tested your dash cam, run the power cable along the headliner of the vehicle from the A-Pillar to the power source.

Set the dash cam viewing angles

You can set the viewing angles of both the road-facing and in-cabin lenses. To set the view angles, follow these steps:

1	After you have entered the vehicle and closed the door, press the touchscreen of the dash cam to view the PIN screen.
2	Enter the default PIN 3333 to unlock the dash cam for the first time, or your own PIN subsequently. NOTE: See the Surfsight Help Center if you need help with your PIN.
3	Press Live View.
4	Use the arrow keys to toggle between the road-facing and in-cabin views.
5	Use the special screwdriver that was included in the camera box to loosen the three security screws on the round side of the dash cam. Do not remove the screws fully.
6	Adjust the viewing angle of the road-facing lens by rotating the body of the dash cam, then adjust the viewing angle of the in-cabin lens by rotating the ring. Make sure all the viewing angles are set correctly.
7	Use Live View to position both the road-facing and in-cabin lenses in the proper directions. Use the arrow keys to toggle between the views. When positioning the dash cam, place it as high as possible on the driver's side of the vehicle. Important: The dash cam must be installed at least 1.6 meters above the ground for road-facing ADAS. This is a feature compatible with the dash cam v3.10. For more information, contact your account representative. Ensure the following: You have a clear view of the driver's upper body You have a clear view of the road The dash cam doesn't obstruct the driver's field of vision The dash cam has a direct line of sight to the sky Note: When using MV+AI, the driver's upper body must be in view of the in-cabin camera. For more information, see the Geotab Knowledge Base. If the dash cam does not capture the driver’s upper body, place the dash cam below the rearview mirror, as high as possible without obstructing the dash cam's view of the driver. When a dash cam is in storage, the battery gets completely drained. Before using the dash cam, you need to charge it for an extended period of time, using at least a 2A power source before turning it on.
8	Tighten the three side screws when finished.

Important installation notes

1. In order to maximize the AI-12 dash cam features such as standby mode, the dash cam must be connected to a constant 12V or 24V power source.

NOTE: The dash cam may go offline if it triggers the GO device's battery drain logic and the vehicle's battery drops below 10.5V on a 12V system. In this event, power from the GO device's IOX port will be shut off for GO9 and above devices.

Accessing the AI-12 Settings menu

1. After you have entered the vehicle and closed the door, press the touchscreen of the dash cam to view the PIN screen.
2. Enter the default PIN 3333 to unlock the dash cam for the first time, or your own PIN subsequently.
3. The screen unlocks and the menu displays.

Calibrate the accelerometer of the dash cam

The AI-12 dash cam contains internal sensors that detect risky driving events. You need to calibrate the sensors before using the dash cam.

Before you start, make sure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface, the ignition is off, and the dash cam is online.

1. After you have entered the vehicle and closed the door, press the touchscreen of the dash cam to view the PIN screen.
2. Enter the default PIN 3333 to unlock the dash cam for the first time, or your own PIN subsequently.
3. From the Settings menu, press Calibration.

Calibrate road-facing ADAS for the dash cam

The Surfsight™ dash cam uses Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) features to gather information about the road ahead. It can detect tailgating events (cases where you are driving too close to the vehicle in front of you), and can estimate time-to-collision (TTC).

Surfsight™ manages limitation parameters for TTC. When the driver exceeds the configured TTC limit and for the configured duration (or longer), visual and audio alerts are sent. Users can configure the permitted TTC and duration parameters, as shown in the table below:

For more information, see the ADAS calibration from the AI-12 dash cam article on the Surfsight Help Center.

Viewing live video from the dash cam

You can view live video directly from the dash cam.

The road-facing camera streams up to twenty-four frames per second. The in-cabin camera streams fifteen frames per second.
