Many people would install a dashcam when they buy a car. So, How to install a dash cam and make it look clean？What tools are needed for installation? What steps do you go through? This article will show step by step.
We adopt Jimi JC400P AiVision Dashcam as an example in this installation tutorial. It is for reference only, because different vehicle designs and fuse box positions may vary greatly, and different dashcam will also differ in installation. However, this guide is generally practical and I believe it can solve more than 90% of your installation problems.
Before installation, let's take a quick look at the JC400P dash camera and its accessories.
Now, onto the installation.
1. Find the fuse box of your vehicle and remove the cover.
2. Use a multimeter to locate the constant power (B+).
3. Use the multimeter to test the ACC power.
4. Pull out the B+ and ACC fuses and insert the corresponding fuses of the power bundle into place.
5. Connect the negative of the GND cable to the negative of the battery and make sure the connection is intact and secure.
6. Connect JC400P with the power bundle to check whether it powers on normally. If yes, disconnect it and route the cables.
