How to Install Your CarGuard Dashcam

Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary components ready: the dashcam, power cables, a memory card, and any mounting accessories. It's important to find the right spot on your windshield to ensure your camera captures the best view of the road without obstructing your field of vision. We recommend placing the dashcam just behind the rearview mirror, as this spot offers a balanced view and keeps the device out of sight.

Once you've found the perfect position, use the adhesive mount or suction cup to secure the dashcam to the windshield. Make sure the surface is clean and dry to ensure the mount holds firmly. Next, run the power cable along the edges of the windshield and dashboard, tucking it away neatly to avoid it interfering with your driving. Connect the power cable to your vehicle’s cigarette lighter or USB port.

Now, insert the memory card into the dashcam, ensuring it has enough storage for long recordings. Once everything is connected, power on your dashcam and adjust the camera angle for the best view. Test the device by taking a short drive to check that everything is working smoothly, and you're all set!

  • Step 1: Choose the Right Spot

    Find a place on your windshield that offers a clear view of the road. The ideal spot is behind the rearview mirror, which provides a centered view without distracting you.

  • Step 2: Secure the Mount

    Use the adhesive mount or suction cup to fix the dashcam in place. Be sure to clean the area before attaching it for a stronger hold.

  • Step 3: Run the Power Cable

    Carefully route the power cable along the edges of the windshield and dashboard. Tuck it neatly so that it doesn’t interfere with your driving.

  • Step 4: Connect to Power

    Plug the power cable into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter or USB port. Ensure the cable is securely connected to avoid interruptions in power supply.

  • Step 5: Test and Adjust

    Turn on your dashcam and adjust the camera angle for optimal road coverage. Take a short drive to test the recording quality and camera placement.
