Once you have connected all the wires as shown in the quick start guide, use the Activate camera feature in the Integrated Video app to guide you through each step of the installation process. More detailed instructions are included below.
Download the Integrated Video app to complete the installation. We recommend you do this before you start the installation.

1. Use the key to unlock, press the release button on the security cover, and remove the camera’s security cover.
2. Connect cable A to the camera.
3. If you ordered an extra storage SD card, place the card into the SD slot.
4. Replace the security cover and leave the key in the lock.
5. Connect cable A to the DC power adaptor.
6. Connect the wiring harness (B) to the DC power adaptor.
7. Connect the wiring harness (B) to the connector cable (C or E) depending on your vehicle type.
The camera needs to be connected to a power source.
Before connecting the camera, ensure that the engine is switched off and the DC power adaptor is switched on.
To connect your camera to a power source, you need to use the correct connector for the vehicle.
-
For light commercial or private vehicles (12V only), use the OBD-II connector (cable C)
-
For heavy trucks (12V only), use the 3-wire connector (cable E)
-
For light-duty vehicles manufactured before 1996 or heavy trucks with 6 pin connectors use, use the 3-wire connector (cable E)
1. Locate the port
The location of the OBD-II port varies from vehicle to vehicle. The most common location is to the left of the steering wheel, underneath the dashboard. The diagram shows other possible locations. Go to the Hum website to search by vehicle make, model and year.
2. Firmly connect the cable to the OBD-II port.
Important: Ensure that the driver door is open during the entire installation process.
If you are adding a 3-wire connected camera to an existing 3-wire connected GPS installation, you can splice into its existing constant, ignition and ground connections or use a stainless ring terminal to make your own ground connection.
We recommended using butt connectors or posit-taps. We do not recommend Add A-Fuse, fuse taps or Scotch lock type connectors for wiring.
With the vehicle’s engine off, attach the black wire directly to a chassis ground point or to a ground line (chassis ground) by splicing directly to a ground lead or by using a poke and wrap method (see below).
With the vehicle’s engine OFF, use the voltmeter to locate a 12-volt battery lead and attach the Red Wire by splicing directly to the lead or by using a poke and wrap method. If attaching to a fused lead or using an in-line fuse (not necessary), verify that it is at least 5 amps.
Be careful not to confuse a retained accessory power (RAP) line with a true continuous power line (12 volt, always online).
To determine a true continuous power source:
-
Ensure the driver door is open.
-
Select a wire.
-
With vehicle’s engine switched off, use a voltmeter to measure the DC voltage on the wire. It should show 12 VDC or higher.
With the vehicle’s engine switched off, use the voltmeter to locate an ignition line with switched power and attach the white wire to the line by splicing directly to the lead or by using a poke and wrap method.
-
Do not use an inline fuse on this line.
-
Do not use accessory power.
When the camera is connected to the power source, switch on the ignition to turn the camera on.
During the camera boot-up process, the red, blue and green lights will flash in sequence.

If the blue and green lights are not solid after 10 minutes, there is an error. Please refer to the Troubleshooting section. If you cannot resolve the issue, contact Customer Support.
Use the Integrated Video app to scan the barcode to identify the camera.
Each camera has a unique barcode and serial number. The serial number can be found on the camera itself and on the box that the camera came in.
To identify the camera, you scan the barcode using the Integrated Video app (See Camera installation guide – before you begin if you do not yet have the app).
The following steps are carried out in the app:
-
Under Camera Activation, choose Activate.
-
Hold your device so that the barcode appears in the app viewfinder. The app will automatically identify the camera.
-
Alternatively, you can enter the serial number manually. To do this, select Manual Input, enter the serial number using the keypad, and then select Next.
Before attaching the camera to the windshield, you need to choose the most appropriate location. When choosing a location, consider the following:
-
The camera should be placed as high as possible within the wiper sweep zone of the windshield on the driver’s side.
-
The camera portion of the device should reside in the top 2 inches (5 cm) of the wiper zone.
-
The camera must not obstruct the driver's view of the road ahead.
-
Avoid placing the camera near the vehicle's climate control system, as excess heat can interfere with the camera operation.
-
Leave enough space to remove the key from the security cover.
The camera can be placed anywhere within the highlighted area.
The windshield glass temperature should not be too hot or cold. Please install the camera in a moderate temperature (recommended between 50°F–80°F).
1. Use the supplied wipes to clean and dry the area on the windshield where the camera will be placed.
2. Peel off the protective strip from the adhesive pad.
3. Stick the camera to the windshield.
4. Hold the camera in position with firm pressure for 30 seconds.
The camera should point directly at the road ahead, with no obstructions.
-
Move the security cover slightly so that the camera can be adjusted.
-
Adjust the camera relative to the slope of the vehicle’s windshield.
-
Replace the security cover.
There are 2 ways to tidy away the camera cables, to ensure they do not obstruct the driver's view.
-
Secure the power cable extension into the headliner panels and down the A-Pillar.
or
-
Use the cable ties provided to secure the cables out of the view of the driver. Then route the power cable around the side and behind the rest of the interior panels down towards the power source.
The camera must be paired with a vehicle, so that when the camera detects a harsh driving incident, it can be associated with a particular vehicle.
-
In the app, on the Identify Vehicle screen, choose the vehicle to pair with the camera.
-
Choose the vehicle from the list or by searching for the vehicle by vehicle name, vehicle identification number (VIN), vehicle registration number (REG), or electronic serial number (ESN).
-
Select Next.
-
Confirm that the camera is paired with the correct vehicle and then select Activate camera.
The camera has three indicator lights to help you identify any issues with its operation:
Red: Warning
Blue: Recording
Green: Communication
During normal operation, both the green and blue lights are on.
If the blue light is off and the red light is on or flashing, there could be a problem with the SD card.
If the green light is off or flashing, then there could be a SIM or network error.
Let's look at some common issues.
