Testing Dash Cam Installation

After you have completed Dash Cam installation, you can test your dash cam for proper function and positioning by taking a picture in the Gateway Settings. This feature is available only when the gateway is connected to the vehicle with power and the vehicle is not in idle. 

1. There are two ways to navigate to the Check Dash Cam Installation page from the Samsara Dashboard:
   1. Navigate to Overview ( ). Choose a gateway from the list. 
      or
   2. Navigate to Settings ( ) > Devices > Gateways. 
2. Select more options (...) on the right and choose Settings.
3. At the bottom of the Settings page, select Take Picture near Check Dash Cam Installation.
4. After a few seconds, the photo(s) will show below.
5. Adjust the camera positioning and repeat steps as needed.

2. Download the diagram(s) below:
