Dual-Lens Camera Troubleshooting Guide

Updated this week

1. Device Does Not Power On

What to Check

  • Ignition / vehicle power is ON

  • Diagnostic port has power

    • Verify using a multimeter.

    • If there is no power, the port may have a blown fuse → camera will not power.

  • Inspect the cable connections from device → harness → diagnostic port.

If STILL no lights

Contact FleetWatcher Support for next steps.


2. Status Lights Are Not Normal

Normal Light Behavior

The status light is located to right of the in cabin camera this will be blue the red light that illuminates for an event is located in the center next to the in cabin camera.

  • The camera should show one consistent solid blue light during normal operation.

  • If a harsh-driving event is triggered (hard brake, harsh turn, etc.),
    a large red light will illuminate for 5–10 seconds and then turn off automatically.

If Lights Are Not Showing as Expected

  • Recheck power to the diagnostic port

  • Confirm all wiring is firmly connected and not damaged

If no lights appear after these steps → contact Support for additional troubleshooting.


3. Camera Not Recording / Not Showing Forward or Rear View

  • Ensure the camera is mounted and aligned correctly

    • Forward lens facing the road

    • Rear lens facing the driver

  • Verify the mount is not loose or vibrating

  • Clean any dust, moisture, or debris on the lenses

  • Check that the camera has power and normal lights

  • Ensure the SD card is fully inserted

If recording still doesn’t appear in your system → report to support for backend verification.


4. GPS / Location Not Updating

  • Confirm the camera has clear sky visibility

    • Not blocked by metal brackets, sun visors, or roof pillars

  • Ensure the camera is powered and lights are normal

  • Verify the wiring harness is not pinched or damaged

If GPS still doesn’t report → escalate to support.


5. Camera Falls Off or Mount Is Loose

  • Ensure the mount surface is clean and dry

  • Confirm the adhesive pad or bracket is fully seated

  • NOTE: Do not attach the adhesive pad with the camera attached to the bracket!

  • Verify the mounting angle matches installation guidelines

  • Please Reference your VisionAgent app once you reapply the adhesive


6. Device Continuously Rebooting (Power Cycling)

  • Loose power connection

  • Bad or damaged cable

  • Diagnostic port intermittent power

  • Vibrating/bouncing mount interrupting power

Fix: reseat all connectors, check port power, stabilize mount.


7. Excessive Glare, Blurry Video, or Poor Footage

  • Clean both lenses

  • Re-align the camera slightly up/down

  • Ensure windshield is clean in camera view

  • Check for sun glare directly hitting the lens

  • Make sure the interior rear lens isn’t obstructed

  • Please reference your VisionAgent Application to verify both forward facing and rear facing cameras are aligned.


8. Camera Connectors / Harness Damage

Look for:

  • Bent pins

  • Cuts, crimps, or pinched cabling

  • Connectors not fully locked

Replace suspect cables before reinstalling.
