When choosing a mounting location, please ensure that there is sufcient access to the front cover of the
DVR-50 to allow it to open.
Also ensure that there are no electrical or uid lines behind any panels that are to be drilled that could
become punctured.
Once the mounting location has been decided, secure the unit with 4 screws.
Connect the main power harness to +12V, IGN and Ground.
Make all camera connections before powering up the unit.
Connect and route the GPS antenna (DVR-50-G only) to a position where it has a clear and unobstructed
view of the sky. Any metalwork or large wiring looms above the antenna can obstruct its operation.

DVR-50-TH Wiring Diagram
Trigger IN 1- 8 can be a high or low trigger value which is congured in the menu of the DVR-50(G).
Trigger Out 1 and 2 can be used to trigger external devices (such as a telematics device) when any trigger
input is activated. This is again congurable in the DVR-50(G) menu.
Speed input can be used to record speed information of the vehicle onto the recording captured on the
DVR-50(G). It should be connected to the analog speed output wire on the vehicle (often found behind the
radio or instrument cluster).
RS232 output can be used to send and receive data from external devices.
The external mic input can be used to record separate audio to that of the mic normally housed in the
cameras.
