Constant power
Dedicated fused constant 12V power and ground.
The vehicle review confirms the final connection point and cable route.
TeamVehicle readiness
What the vehicle needs before install day.
Core needs fused constant power and a mount in the co-driver’s sightline. Edge needs a 12V switched and fused power source, Starlink Ethernet, CAN High and CAN Low, and agreed camera locations.
Vehicle checklist
Core and Edge requirements before the install date.
Each row shows the requirement, the specification and who owns it.
Race Link Core
Driver-facing mount and a reliable power path.
Driver-facing mount
1-inch RAM ball within the co-driver’s sightline and reach.
Position it for short glances without obstructing normal vehicle operation.
TeamStarlink Wi-Fi
Vehicle Starlink Wi-Fi available for setup and normal race operations.
Have the network credentials available at the install.
TeamProtected routing
Safe routing for power, display and antenna cabling.
Routing cannot interfere with normal vehicle operation.
Team + Race Link LiveVehicle access
Time for installation, configuration and a complete function check.
The review confirms the access window and commissioning scope.
Team + Race Link LiveRace Link Live Edge
Network and vehicle signals before cameras go in.
Switched and fused power
12V switched and fused power source with ground for Race Link Live Edge.
The vehicle review confirms the final connection point and cable route.
TeamStarlink Ethernet
One available Starlink Ethernet connection. Some configurations use two ports.
Size a Local Priority plan around camera count and race hours. Discuss Global Priority for cross-border coverage.
TeamVehicle data
CAN High and CAN Low for each in-scope network.
If the vehicle has more than one CAN network, we need access to every required network.
Team + Race Link LiveClear sky view
Starlink hardware mounted or positioned for a clear view of the sky.
This supports the connection plan agreed during the review.
TeamCamera and cable plan
Approved camera locations and protected routing for camera, Ethernet and power cables.
The plan confirms what will be captured and where each cable travels.
Team + Race Link LiveInstallation window
Vehicle access for installation, configuration and a race-day function check.
Vehicle-side capture continues locally when connectivity drops; available data synchronizes when it returns.
Team + Race Link LiveInstallation responsibilities
Know who brings what.
Team provides
- Vehicle access and an agreed installation window
- Fused constant 12V for Core, switched and fused 12V for Edge, grounds and mounting points
- Starlink hardware, account access and an appropriate service plan
- Approved CAN access and camera locations
Race Link Live provides
- Vehicle review and a connection plan
- Agreed installation and commissioning scope
- Configuration and a function check for the installed system
- A written list of anything still needed before install
Connectivity recommendation
For live video, choose a Priority plan.
Race Link Live recommends a Starlink Local Priority plan sized for the planned camera count and race hours. Teams needing cross-border or broader coverage should discuss Global Priority during the vehicle review.
Starlink hardware, service plan and data charges are customer-provided unless they are specifically included in the deployment agreement.
Installation FAQ
Questions teams ask before the vehicle arrives.
What power does Race Link Core need?
Core needs a dedicated fused constant 12V power source and ground. The vehicle review confirms the final connection point and cable route.
Where should Race Link Core mount?
Plan for a 1-inch RAM ball mount within the co-driver’s sightline and reach. The exact position should support short glances without obstructing normal vehicle operation.
What CAN access is needed?
Provide CAN High and CAN Low for the networks in scope. If the vehicle uses more than one CAN network, Race Link Live needs access to every network required for the agreed deployment.
Why do you recommend a Starlink Priority plan?
Live video use depends on available data priority and the amount of video the team plans to send. A Local Priority plan should be sized around planned camera count and race hours; broader coverage can be discussed during the vehicle review.
Is Starlink included with the system?
Starlink hardware, service plan and data charges are customer-provided unless they are specifically included in the deployment agreement.
What happens if connectivity drops?
Vehicle-side capture continues locally. Available data synchronizes when connectivity returns, and Race Link Live keeps freshness and availability visible rather than presenting an old source as live.
