1 Quick Installation and Setup Guide Before you Begin This process involves mounting cameras and running cables through the vehicle interior. It is helpful to have some familiarity with installing automotive accessories. Warning: It is your responsibility to avoid damaging safety or electrical systems. In particular, impairing or interfering with the operation of an airbag is a critical safety concern. If you are not confident in your ability to perform the procedures in this Guide, please consider contacting Seon Support to schedule a professional installation. Check that you received all system components:

2 Step 1: Determine Installation Locations Think about placement of cameras and the Control Unit, and confirm the positions will work for the images you want to capture. Make sure you consider cable lengths and how they will run between components: Cable Run Camera 1 to the Control Unit Camera 1 to Camera 2 *an optional extension is available (contact Seon Support) Power connections to Control Unit Cable Length 10 feet 43 inches* 5 feet Control Unit here are a few good options: Camera 1 - forward-facing, on the windshield; behind the mirror works well: Ensure mirror adjustment will not be impeded. Avoid areas with metal sun diffusers or other obstructions: mount on clear glass.

3 Camera 2 - on the headliner or a bulkhead (to capture passengers, driver, or cargo): Do not mount to a surface that cannot support the camera s weight or is subject to constant vibration. If you want to attach to the headliner, ensure you insert something stronger than cardboard underneath to hold the screws. Step 2: Insert the SD Card into Camera 1 1. Use the supplied Torx security key to loosen the screw holding the SD card slot cover on the side of Camera 1 and remove the cover. 2. Slide the SD Card into the SD card slot. The card only fits one way: push it in gently until it clicks in place. 3. Replace the slot cover and tighten the screw.

4 Step 3: Mount Camera 1 on the Windshield 1. Clean the area where the mount will contact the windshield (alcohol swab is recommended). 2. Peel off the red adhesive backing from the mount. 3. Face the camera outward (SEON logo visible from inside the vehicle). 4. Ensure the camera body is aligned horizontally (not skewed). 5. Press the mount firmly to the windshield. 6. Adjust the vertical camera position to match the driver s plane of view (for more information, see step 9 on page 7):

5 Step 4: Mount Camera 2 1. Use the supplied Allen key to loosen the 3 set screws and separate the mounting plate from the housing. 2. Thread the cable through the plate and attach the flat side to the mounting surface with the 3 screws. 3. Re-assemble the camera/housing. Aim the camera appropriately before fully tightening the set screws (for more information, see step 9 on page 7). Step 5: Install the Control Unit 1. Place the Control Unit in the desired location. Leave room to connect the cables. 2. Plug the Power Harness into the Power/Sensor input on the Control Unit. 3. Make the following electrical connections from the Power Harness to the vehicle: Wire Colour/Label Red/DC IN+ Orange/ACC Black/DC IN- Connects to Battery source Ignition source/ Accessory Chassis ground

6 Step 6: Run/Connect Camera Cables Warning: Warning: The A pillar (beside the windshield) may contain an air bag. Do not attempt to run cables down the A pillar unless you are sure you understand how the safety system may be affected. Connect CAM from Camera 1 to the cable from Camera 2. Connect OBD from Camera 1 to the IPC input on the Control Unit. Step 7: Verify Operation Turn on the vehicle ignition and ensure the red light on Camera 1 is illuminated, indicating the system has power and is operational. If the red light does not come on, check the Power Harness connections.

7 Step 8: Install the DS2 Configuration Smartphone App 1. Depending on your smartphone, browse to either the Apple Store or Google Play. 2. Search for Seon. 3. Download and install the OBD app: Step 9: Set up the DS2 System and Cameras 1. With the DS2 system powered on, connect your smartphone to the DS2 Wi-Fi network. The DS2 network name appears as ST-, followed by 10 numbers. Note: It may take a minute for the DS2 network to show on your phone, and another minute to connect; ensure the OBD app is not running before attempting to connect to DS2 Wi-Fi. 2. Once you verify the phone is connected to DS2 Wi-Fi, run the OBD app. 3. Tap Aim Cameras. The image from camera 1 appears this is the forward-facing (windshield) view the system records as DS2 video. Adjust the camera body to avoid obstructions and capture what you want. For more information, please see step 3 on page Tap Camera 2. The image from the interior-facing camera appears. To aim camera 2, you may need to loosen the set screws. For more information, see step 4 on page 5.

8 5. On the main screen, tap System Setup. Adjust Timezone, Date/Time, and Daylight Saving settings as necessary: 6. Scroll down to check/adjust camera settings. Channel 1 applies to the front-facing (windshield) camera, and Channel 2 is the interior camera. Turn off a camera or audio you don t need to save space on the SD card, so you can store more hours of video. Resolution: if you want to record fast action, such as movement of vehicles or people, choose a 720p option. 30fps settings capture more detail than 15fps, so it s easier to see things like license plates. Note that increased quality involves greater storage requirements, which reduces the amount of video you can store before it is overwritten. We recommend the high option for both 360p 15/30fps and 720p 15/30fps settings.

9 7. Scroll down to check SD Size and SD Available When the SD card is full, the system recycles storage space by overwriting the oldest video to ensure new video is always recorded. Always archive video you want to preserve. For more information, please see the Clipping and Export section of the DS2 Training Video. If you are low on available space, you can purchase a larger SD card. Warning: The Format SD Card feature erases all stored video and returns the card to factory condition. Only attempt this when troubleshooting recording issues prior to replacing the card, or when directed to do so by Seon Support. 8. When you re finished setting up the DS2 system and cameras, tap Save. Settings are not stored in the system until you tap Save. Therefore, if the phone loses its network connection to DS2 Wi-Fi, any unsaved changes to settings are not preserved. Step 10 Download and Install the DS2 Software If you will review video from this unit, browse to on a PC and follow the instructions to install the DS2 video player software and documentation. Otherwise, please ensure the software download instruction card included in the product box is made available to the person who will review the recorded video.
