Installation Guide

Mounting the Janus V2 at the correct angle allows the unit to receive optimal GPS reception and recording angles.

REMINDER: The mounting bracket adhesive has a powerful bond to surfaces. Double-check the mounting position before securing in place.

NOTE: Apply double-sided adhesive to the mounting bracket base, and orient unit upright before mounting (Figure 1.7).

To mount your Janus V2 for the first time:

1. Secure unit to the right of your rear-view mirror. Position the unit so that it does not interfere with your view.
2. Press and hold the mounting base firmly to the windshield for three seconds to secure the unit in place.
3. Plug in the car adapter or hard wire the Janus V2 to power the unit.
4. Adjust the angle of the mounting bracket by loosening the screws on the side (Figure 1.8). Tighten screws to secure position.

NOTE: The Janus V2 takes 30 seconds to start up. Wait for the GPS LED to glow solid green, followed by a beep before driving. The REC and POWER LEDs glow solid red. During normal operation, the REC, GPS and POWER LED will always be on.

The panic button extension allows you to bookmark an event as an "Emergency" for easy searching in the Janus Viewer. Emergency recordings capture video at 30 FPS for enhanced detail. Place the panic button extension where you can easily reach. .

To install the Panic Button extension cable:

1. Remove rubber cover on the side of the unit with a thin, rigid object (Figure 1.9).
2. Insert the end of the panic button extension into the EMGCY port (Figure 2.0).
3. Run the cable along the dashboard to conceal the cable out of view.
4. Remove the double-sided adhesive on the back of the panic button, and stick on surface (Figure 2.1).

NOTE: The end of the panic button extension connects one way into the EMGCY port. Do not force.

1. Mini-jack connector: Transmits GPS tracking information to the Janus V2.
2. GPS Antenna: The GPS (Global Positioning System) antenna tracks your current location in relation to satellites orbiting around the globe. The GPS antenna records information onto the SDHC memory card. When watching videos with the Janus Viewer, you can track the location and speed of your vehicle on Google Maps.
3. Mounting Bracket Screws: Tightens and loosens the mounting bracket elbow. Twist screws clockwise to tighten, counter clockwise to loosen

To change camera views:
Press the CH button on the side of the unit to change between channel 1 and channel 2. This switches camera views between the in-car camera and the Driver-View camera.

When your vehicle goes over a bump or experiences a sudden force, the built-in sensor causes the REC LED on the unit to flash for several seconds. This means the Janus V2 has bookmarked the event. When an event is bookmarked, you can easily categorize and find the particular moment in the Event window when you encountered the sudden bump or impact. See “Viewing Recorded Video Files” on page 10 for details on how to find videos by events.

WMount the Janus V2 as close as you can to the rear view mirror, without obstructing your ability to adjust the mirror. The in-car and driver-view camera should cover the middle of the vehicle. The Janus V2 should not be mounted too far into the passenger side. It is highly recommended to use a portable display (not included) to calibrate the angle and mounting location of the Janus V2. If you do not have access to a portable display, simply hold the Janus V2 by hand, where you would like to position it, and begin recording. Then, view the video to see if the mounting angle is appropriate.

Always have a clear view of the road. Discontinue use if the Janus V2 distracts you from driving safely.

Remove the Janus V2 from the mounting bracket, then firmly tug on the mounting bracket. Be patient. The double-sided adhesive has a powerful bond to glass surfaces. Be careful not to break the mounting bracket while trying to remove it from the windshield.
