Please note that whilst the instructional video has good
information on pairing and is often enough for most clients
to get started, it does not cover some of the more complex
details that we have added to this manual recently due to
the iPhone and Android operating system changes that
have altered the behaviour of some phones recently.
Please ensure that you have read the product manual and
instructions prior to installation and use. Failure to do so
may result in the product incorrectly operating or an
installation that renders the device unusable.

Fixing the Dash Cam
Installation of Dash Cam
1. Place mounting bracket onto the Dash Cam by sliding
on fixing point. Orientate the device so the when you attach
it to the wind screen, the USB socket is on the right hand
side (looking from inside the car) and its lens is on the left.
The the Hand Gesture Sensor faces down.
2. Fix the device onto a clean part of the windscreen
toward the centre where the vision is not obstructed. (Make
sure its VERY clean to ensure proper adhesion).

A place close to the rear-view mirror is ideal in most cases.
Do not install the device near an airbag. (Airbags are often
installed along the outer left- and right-hand sides of the
windscreen).
3. Insert the included Micro SD card into the Dash Cam
4. Insert the Micro USB end of the
GPS power cable
into
the Micro USB socket of the Dash Cam. Remove backing
off 3M tape of GPS cable and fix to window. Connect the
full-size USB plug into the USB socket of the power
adapter, insert the power adapter into a free 12V power
socket in the vehicle. The power cable is long enough to
run along the head lining, down the A pillar, under and
across the Dash to the transmission tunnel where it should
be in range of the vehicles 12V accessory power socket as
shown in the diagram above.
5. Rotate the Camera direction so that it is facing forward
and slightly down from horizontal. Later, using the App, you
can align it exactly so that 1⁄4 of the vehicles bonnet is
visible at the bottom of the Cameras image.
6. Turn the vehicles ignition to accessories, the Dash Cam
should automatically power ON, you will hear an audible
tone once powered. (Some 12V sockets require ignition on).
7. A red LED will start flashing and recording will start. The
unit records footage in small blocks. When the card is full,
the unit will replace the oldest recordings with the newest
footage as it is recorded. The available history is
dependent on the size of the SD cards capacity.

Downloading the Dash Cam WiFi App
8. The Dash Cam starts recording automatically when it
receives power from the power adapter.
Once power is turned off (when you turn the car off), the
Dash Cam will use its on-board super capacitor to save the
current file and then turn itself off.
On your Android based Smartphone, search the Google
Play store. For iPhones search the App Store. Search for
“GHDVR85W”
After downloading the App don’t run the App just yet.
Gator has a number of different Apps for different
devices. You MUST download the correct App for your
device. The model number of your device is mentioned
in the App description.
