A printable version of the installation instructions is also available: https://www.samsara.com/pdf/docs/cm-install-guide.pdf.
To install a dash cam, you will need:
 |
-
Identify the mounting location and thoroughly clean with the provided wipe. For optimal visibility and to ensure accurate AI Event Detection , position the camera below the rear view mirror and above the windshield sweep. For regional recommendations, see:
-
Peel off the protective sheet and firmly press the camera against the windshield. Make sure there are no large bubbles between adhesive and glass.
-
Adjust the camera angle so that the camera hangs perfectly vertical, then tighten both screws using the Allen key.
-
Run the cable across the top of the windshield and secure it using the cable clips or tuck it under the glass seal around the windshield.
-
Plug the camera into the USB port of the Vehicle Gateway (VG). For best results, the cable should not wrap around the gateway or cross the diagnostics cable.
-
To verify installation:
-
After the dash cam is successfully installed in a vehicle and connected to a VG, verify the new dash cam is present in the Samsara dashboard. The camera serial number will appear under the Camera Serial column for the VG and in the detail page for the vehicle.
-
Note
After you complete your initial Installation of your dash cams, they may require downtime for the first 24 hours for a firmware upgrade.
To ensure the camera and vehicle gateway are on the newest firmware available, there will be a temporary period of downtime during the installation while the camera upgrades. This will be a one-time occurrence, as all future over-the-air upgrades will happen while the vehicle is not in active use.
