FAQ    
     
Q: What is the difference between SCHD and SCGPHD?
A: SCGPHD offers a bullet cam and a larger screen. First gen SCHD did not offer an external audio option. Otherwise the capabilities are the same.

Q: How should I choose between SCHD and SCGPHD?
A: For closed-roof and GT cars, SCHD is recommended because its lens is designed for being mounted on the roll cage just behind the driver.

For formula cars, karts and motorcycles, SCGPHD is recommend because the lens has a wider angle of view and is smaller in size for easier mounting.

 

Q: How many cameras can be connected to a SCGPHD?
A: One. But multiple units of SCGPHD can be installed on the same CAN bus.

Q: If my track is not in the GPS Manager database, what should I do?
A: (Standalone and Advanced Standalone Models only) Determine the coordinates of the start/finish line using a program such as Google Earth. Then, use GPS Manager and create a new track using the coordinates. Finally, upload the new track into SmartyCam.

Q: How long does the battery last?
A: About one hour.
