- Be aware that any installation that does not conform to the specifications will require modification.
- Use the hardware supplied to install the GoSight dashcam, and use 3M adhesive to secure it.

Where to place the GoSight in a truck with a split windshield :
Prepare the installation
Note the camera serial number printed on the box. You'll need this serial number to associate the camera to the vehicle in MyGeotab.
Find a suitable location for your camera. The ideal location meets the following criteria:
- In the center of the windshield as much as possible.
- Above the area swept by the windshield wipers.
- Free of obstruction(s), such as mirrors, tinted glass, EZPass, etc.
Installation of the GoSight camera
Electrical installation - On-board camera - GoSight
Connect the wires according to this guide:
-
Attach the yellow wire to an accessory signal or to the vehicle's ignition. The location you choose to connect this wire will determine when the camera is operational. For example, by connecting it to the ignition, recording will start automatically as soon as the vehicle is switched on.
-
Connect the red wire to a continuous power source, usually the battery.
The wire is labelled "B+".
- Attach the black wire to the vehicle chassis - an essential step. It is advisable to attach it to a stud without paint or other coating.
- Connect the power bank to the camera.
- If necessary, connect accessories to the camera.
- Connect the vehicle's wiring to the camera.
Connection check - On-board camera - GoSight

- Clean and dry the selected surface.
- Remove the protective film from the 3M tape. Stick the mounting base to the windscreen, together with the camera.
- Detach the camera from its mounting bracket and apply firm pressure to ensure a flat contact surface for optimum adhesion of the 3M adhesive tape.
- Remove the protective plastic film from the camera lens.
- Orient the GoSight lens downwards, tilting the viewing angle in a negative direction, to avoid excessive sky capture in the recordings.
- Fix the camera on its mounting bracket and open the vehicle's ignition.
- Use MyGeotab, in the GoSight section, to check that the camera calibration is correct. Next to the serial number noted above, click on the blue icon for a preview.
