Using a Waylens camera with a USB hub

The Waylens Horizon camera is a versatile device that can be used in various vehicles and even on motorcycles or boats. It offers a range of features, including a GPS antenna, a 9-axis motion sensor, and the ability to capture vehicle performance data such as G-force, pitch, roll, and boost. The camera also has a circular OLED display and supports slow-motion and time-lapse videos.

When using a Waylens camera with a USB hub, there are several factors to consider. Firstly, ensure that the USB hub is compatible with the Waylens camera. The camera uses a USB Type-A connection, so the hub should have available ports that match. If your hub has a different type of port, you may need to use an adapter.

Secondly, the Waylens camera requires a 5V USB input, so make sure the USB hub can provide sufficient power. Some vehicles' electrical systems operate on 12V, so you may need to use an adapter or converter to ensure the camera receives the correct voltage.

Once connected, the camera should be recognised by the USB hub. Depending on the hub's functionality, you may be able to view and transfer files directly from the camera to another device connected to the hub.

Additionally, the Waylens camera can be connected to a computer via a USB hub. This allows you to import images and videos captured on the camera to your computer for editing, sharing, or storage. When connecting to a computer, ensure that the camera's battery is sufficiently charged, and follow any specific instructions provided in the camera's manual.

It is important to note that the Waylens camera does not support hardwiring and must be connected via USB. This means that it cannot be directly wired into a vehicle's 12V system, and you will need to use the provided 12V USB adapter or another suitable adapter.

By following these steps and considerations, you can effectively use a Waylens camera with a USB hub, taking advantage of the camera's features and functionality while ensuring a reliable connection and power supply.
