IV. MONITOR INSTALLATION & MOUNTING
A. Mounting Precautions
Remove your monitor carefully from packaging and inspect all mounting hardware. Mounting location is the most
important part of the monitor installation as it ensures you the maximum visual benefit from your AgCam® system. With
that said, when installing your monitor, ensure to follow these three (3) precautions:
1. The monitor is out of direct sunlight. This will prolong the life of the unit as well as ensure optimum visibility.
2. The monitor does not obstruct view.
3. The monitor does not interfere with the normal operation of equipment.
WARNING:
Dakota Micro, Inc. is not responsible for any damages caused to your monitor, or yourself, due to the improper installation or
use of a suction cup monitor mount, whether it be product sold by DM or product purchased from another source.
B. Universal Bracket Mounting
1. Hold monitors U-bracket in place on monitor.
2. Attach bracket with included wing bolts.
C. Finalizing Universal Bracket Installation
1. With the mount and monitor attached, find and
mark the desired position for the monitor.
2. Remove the monitor from the mount.
3. Attach the monitor to the mount and tighten
the wing nuts.
*Use ONLY the nuts included in the kit, bolts longer than 10mm will damage your monitor.
NOTE: Turn the monitor on only after it has been securely mounted, supplied with power, and the cameras are connected

a MAX 3amp blade fuse.
2. There is a small glass fuse located on the inside tip of the 12v portion of the power adaptor (PN: DMAC-12v).

VII. EVENT TRIGGER WIRE OPERATIONS
A. Event Trigger Wire Color Guide
1. Camera 1 –Green
2. Camera 2 –Purple
3. Camera 3 –Gray
4. Camera 4 –White
B. Event Trigger Wires Explained
Event trigger wires can be attached to any 12v or 24v positive output event switch or supply. The event circuit should be
neutral in its normal state and change to HIGH (12v or 24v) when the event is active. This will cause the monitor to
automatically switch to that camera, regardless of the state of the monitor (i.e. ON/OFF or different channel selection). Up to 3
cameras can be triggered on and simultaneously displayed at the same time. For example, if you have trigger wires 2 and 4
hooked up to a positive event, a split screen of cameras 2 and 4 will be displayed. You can also set a camera to be a priority so
when it is triggered it will override any other image to full screen. See Menu Setting for more details.

XI. WARNINGS
•When selecting a camera system from Dakota Micro, be sure to utilize the appropriate system for your use. AgCam and
EnduraCam cameras are designed for high impact, moisture, vibration, and a variety of other rough conditions. OverView
cameras and kit components are designed for light use, low vibration, and low moisture. OverView equipment is not
warranted when used in situations outside of the above-mentioned parameters. We always request that customers keep
in mind that our less expensive OverView product line is cheaper because it does not feature the reliability and durability
of our AgCam and EnduraCam lines. The warranty available on these products reflects that durability.
•To avoid electrical shock and maintain optimal functionality, do not open the enclosures. High voltage may be present and
there are no user serviceable parts inside. All warranties will be void should any enclosures be tampered with in any way.
•Do not use any harsh chemical solvents, cleaning agents or corrosive detergent to clean away dirt on the surface of the
screen or lens.
•On AgCam and EnduraCam products, the photo-chromic camera lenses have been made impact-resistant and have been
drop-ball tested according to Sec. 3.84,21 CRF BUT ARE NOT UNBREAKABLE. Because they have been hardened chemically,
they show no stress pattern. Inspect your lenses frequently. Chipped or scratched surfaces will reduce protection. Such
lenses should be replaced only by the manufacturer.
•Power to cameras is not interrupted by turning off monitor; 12v power source must be terminated when not in use to
avoid battery drain. To avoid this problem be sure when hard wiring a unit, use a 5-amp fused circuit.
•Do not use your Dakota Micro camera system for anything other than legal surveillance and observation uses. Dakota
Micro, Inc. is not liable for any illegal or nefarious usage.
