5. Aratohu Whakauru

Follow these steps for a proper installation of your BOTSLAB Hardwire Kit. Professional installation is recommended if you are unsure about any steps.

Three-step installation guide for the hardwire kit: Step 1 Test Power Sources with a multimeter, Step 2 Set up the Wires (ACC, VCC+, GND-), and Step 3 Connect the Dash Cam.

Image: Easy Installation Steps. This image provides a visual guide for the three main installation steps: testing power sources in the fuse box, connecting the ACC, VCC+, and GND- wires, and finally connecting the Type-C cable to the dash cam.

  1. Step 1: Test Power Sources

    Use a multimeter to identify a 12V constant power source (always-on) and an ACC power source (switched with ignition) in your car's fuse box.

  2. Step 2: Set Up the Wires
    • Honoa te Yellow Wire (ACC) to the identified ACC power source.
    • Honoa te Red Wire (VCC+) to the identified constant power source.
    • Honoa te Black Wire (GND-) to a suitable grounding point on the vehicle chassis.
  3. Step 3: Connect the Dash Cam

    Attach the Type-C connector of the hardwire kit to the Type-C port on your BOTSLAB G980H Dash Cam.

Route the cables neatly along the vehicle's interior trim to conceal them and ensure they do not interfere with driving controls.

6. Mahi

Once installed, the hardwire kit automatically manages power to your dash cam based on your vehicle's ignition status.

Aratau taraiwa

When your vehicle's ignition is on, the dash cam will receive constant power and operate in normal recording mode, capturing continuous footage.

Aratau Waka

When your vehicle's ignition is turned off, the hardwire kit will switch the dash cam into parking mode. In this mode, the dash cam can perform:

  • Papaanga Whaatea: Continuously records at a low frame rate to save storage space and provide extended surveillance.
  • Collision-Triggered Recording: Automatically records normal video footage when a significant impact or motion is detected, ensuring critical events are captured.

Te raro-voltage protection feature will monitor your car battery's voltage and automatically cut power to the dash cam if the voltage drops below a safe threshold, preventing battery depletion.

7. Tiaki

The BOTSLAB Hardwire Kit requires minimal maintenance. Ensure all connections remain secure and free from corrosion. Periodically check the cable routing to ensure it is not pinched or damaged.

8. Te Raru
