Azuga installation, done the way it stays installed

Azuga supplies the platform and the hardware. API Signal makes the install. An install is where a tracker either becomes part of the vehicle or becomes something that gets pulled out later. This page explains how we run one.

What we install

• The OBD-II tracker, including on vehicles with a crowded or hidden port.
• The JBus tracker on heavy trucks with 6 and 9 pin ports.
• 3-wire and 2-wire hardwired trackers.
• SafetyCam Pro and SafetyCam Plus, aimed and tested.
• Asset trackers and beacons, activated and mounted the way Azuga documents.

How an install runs

1. You tell us the count and the vehicles. Make, model, year and what each one does all day.
2. We quote the install. A per-vehicle number for smaller fleets, a fleet plan for larger ones. Hardware comes from Azuga, or you may already have it.
3. We schedule around you. At your yard, driveway or job site.
4. We install and test. Constant, ignition and ground proven with a meter on hardwired work. Cameras aimed on live view and the emergency button tested.
5. We confirm in the portal. The vehicle shows up, updates, and the camera uploads its test event.
6. You get a handover. What went in, where, and the serial number for each vehicle.

What we check on every vehicle

• Constant. Power that stays on with the key out, proven with a meter.
• Ignition. A wire that goes live when the key turns, proven the same way, for any unit that uses one.
• Ground. A clean connection to bare metal, because Azuga says a loose ground causes power problems on its cameras.
• Position and sky. The unit sits where Azuga says it should, away from metal and with a view of the sky.
• The portal. The vehicle appears, updates and carries the right name before we leave.

That list is the whole reason the API Signal sign-off is Constant. Ignition. Ground. It is short on purpose, and every item on it is something that can be proven on the spot instead of assumed.

What we will not do

We will not tell you Azuga is the answer before we know your vehicles. We will not guess at a wire. We will not sign off an install until the vehicle has reported in the portal. And before you sign with any platform, we will point you to the plan, the renewal date and the support path, so you know exactly what you are getting.
