Hardware: Installation
Introduction
The installation of the 10-8 Patrol Car video system breaks down to some
very simple steps. The basic connection for video and audio are very similar
to a VCR or DVD player. The one area that diers from what you may have
done in the past is the connections for the alarm inputs . There are four (4)
sensor wires that will activate the recorder anytime voltage is applied to any
of the four (4) wires.
To help make the connections easier, the cables that aach to the back of
the DVR each use a dierent type of connector. Familiarize yourself with
the inputs in the picture on pages 12 and 13.
You will need two 12 volt power sources - a constant 12 volt
power source and a switched 12 volt power source.
You will also need a ground source.
We strongly recommend that the power source be from switched power
that is only hot when the vehicle key is in the ‘ON’ position. This should be
a ve (5) amp fused power source. To eliminate interference, there should
be no other equipment on this circuit.
It is also very important that the ground be a good chassis
ground source and not tied into the ground of other equipment.
When the DVR’s door is unlocked to allow access to the SD
cards, the system is automatically powered down to protect the
les on the SD cards. When the door is locked, the DVR system
will be able to accept power and turn on again.

• In the dash
• Under the dash.
• Under pr next to Main Equipment Console
• For Havis consoles, Havis oers a one piece mounting bracket.
Part# C-E-T8V-1P
• For Joo consoles, Joo oers a mounting bracket. Part# 425-6293
1 Insert the Red/Black 6-pin Power Harness Connector into power
receptacle in rear of DVR unit making sure it locks into place.

Hardware: Installation
Emergency Lights & Manual Activation
There are four (4) wires (leads) coming from the sensor harness. Each wire
will activate the recorder when voltage is applied to any single wire. In a
typical patrol car installation, 2 of these wires will be used.
These wires will detect when voltage is present and activate the
recorder.
Emergency Lights & Manual Activation Installation
Sensor ‘IN’ Wire 1
1 Connect Sensor Wire 1 to the output side of your control box for your
pursuit lights.
You can connect it to any of the lights that are used for emergency
trac. This way the recorder will start anytime you are running
emergency trac. Depending on the type of switch box used, there
may be a place to connect at the back of the switch box. If not, simply
connect to any wire that goes to a 12v light that is activated when you
turn on the emergency/pursuit lights.
Sensor ‘IN’ Wire 2
2 Connect Sensor Wire 2 to a manual switch that you will activate when
you want to start the recorder without lights activated.
You can use any switch of your choosing that will provide 12v to the
wire.
Many control boxes in use today will have a blank switch that is not
being used. These are a great choice for the manual switch. If none are
available, a simple toggle or rocker switch mounted in a convenient
location works well.

Sensor Out 1 (Not Used)
Sensor Out 2 (Blue Wire) - to blue wire of 2.4 Mhz Mic
Sensor In 1 - to pursuit lights
Sensor In 2 - to manual activation switch
Sensor In 3 (Green Wire) - to green wire of 2.4Ghz Mic
FIG. 2
Sensor Harness
Caution: These wires are very sensitive and care must be
taken that you do not connect to a wire that has low voltage all
the time, as the recorder will detect voltage and activate the
recorder.

2.4GHZ Wireless Mic
If your department opted for our new 2.4ghz wireless microphone system,
congratulations! This is an incredible wireless microphone with excellent
range and clarity. The installation is easy and straight forward.
1 Find a suitable place in the vehicle for the base station/receiver.
A bracket is included. It should be mounted in an easily accessible
position. Be sure there is room to easily insert and remove the
transmier in the cradle.
2 Connect the harness BLUE wire - labeled ‘12v input rec’ - to the DVR
BLUE wire labeled ‘Alarm out 2’.
3 Connect the harness GREEN wire - labeled ‘Trigger’ - to the DVR
GREEN wire labeled ‘Alarm In 3’.
4 Congure the DVR software using the instructions on the next page.
2.4GHZ Wireless Mic Installation
Power to the charging cradle should be connected to a 12v
source that is always on. The rest of the system should be
connected to a ‘key on’ 12v source. This allows the transmitter
to charge fully between shifts.
