III. PARTS OF AN AGCAM (Part Number: AG-LCP)
IV. CAMERA MOUNTING
After camera is securely mounted, plug the camera pigtail into rear of AgCam® / EnduraCam camera. You can now plug the
remaining end of the pigtail into your power/video extension cable. Make sure the extension cables are securely attached and
locked (¼ turn will lock the cables together).
A. Temporary Mounting
oFor temporary mounting, it is recommended that you use the supplied 65# pull magnet. If using magnetic mount,
fasten camera cable with a zip tie or other style fastener. This will act as a “safety wire” in the event your camera is
knocked loose for some reason. When selecting a location, make sure that the equipment surface is clean of all
foreign material and as flat as possible to ensure that the magnetic camera base will have good contact and not
vibrate off. The thicker the metal base, the more securely your magnet will hold.
B. Permanent Mounting
oFor permanent mounting, it is recommended that you remove the magnet and attach the camera bracket to any
solid surface with two (2) screws.
C. Suggestions for Camera Mounting
oWhen determining the location for the camera, it is always best to use a solid surface to minimize vibration.
oImportant- Ladders are not good mounting choices due to lack of stability.
If you will be using your AgCam® for assisting in visibility for towing, you will want to position the camera so you can
see the desired area and a portion of the vehicle/trailer in tow; this will give you some reference to distance.
WARNING:
A. NEVER RELY ON YOUR AGCAM® AS A SAFETY FEATURE.
It is up to your discretion to keep your road travel and other operations safe. Your AgCam® will provide you with
information only based on what it sees. Operation of machinery safety guidelines still apply.

V. CABLE ROUTING TIPS & WARNINGS
There are two (2) lengths of cable that come standard with our AgCam® camera kits: One (1) 20’ and one (1) 60’. Extra cables in
varying lengths available for purchase through your local AgCam® dealer.
A. Cable routing is important; where you choose to run the cables should not interfere with the normal operation of the
machine or any safety equipment.
B. ALWAYS be aware of any “pinch points” or other potential hazards to the cable(s).
C. Secure all cables to vehicle/equipment using cable clips, zip ties or other style fasteners.
D. If you intend to use your AgCam® for short length PTO operated implement, avoid excess cable lengths, if possible. When
you decide on a location, you should fix the camera to a permanent bracket using ¼ inch bolts and attach any loose cable
securely so there is no chance of entanglement in the PTO or other moving parts.
E. If you use your AgCam® to monitor a combine hopper or other combine operations, take care to remember that combines
have many moving parts. Use extreme care when routing cables, and it is strongly recommended that you use bolts to secure
the camera. While it would be sufficient to use the magnetic base for monitoring purposes during road travel, it is advised
to secure the camera with bolts during operation of the combine.

IX. 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.
