Soft-Mounting Cameras
When installing the cameras, it’s important to always “soft-mount” them in order to test for functionality before you
begin drilling into the vehicle�
“Soft-mounting” means connecting power to the cameras, putting them in position, and securing them with tape or other
temporary adhesive, so that you can perform a full calibration� If calibration is successful, then you can drill into the vehicle
to secure the cameras� If not, you can easily reposition the cameras without damaging the exterior of the vehicle�
Installing the Cameras
The inView 360-Fusion cameras are labeled as Front, Left, Right, and Rear� You’ll need to ensure the cameras are
connected to the correct input on the video harness, otherwise calibration may fail�
To install the cameras:
1� Connect each camera (with mount) to an extension cable�
2� Connect the extension cables to the matching inputs on the video harness� The extension cables are not
direction-labeled, and therefore can be used between any camera and harness�
3� Attach the cameras to the vehicle using tape or temporary adhesive�

IMPORTANT! DO NOT drill into the vehicle until you’ve done a soft-mount and calibration of the system.

Determining Camera Locations
When installing the cameras, a general rule of thumb is to have the cameras mounted in a position that is above 1/3
of the vehicle height, and as close to the centers (of each side) as possible, without any obstructions� Ideally, it is
recommended to mount the cameras as high as possible. However, this does not work for every vehicle.
To help illustrate this, it’s important to understand that the cameras have a 148° vertical eld of view.
Notice that in the above diagram, the camera is placed at the top of the vehicle� While it is optimal to place the camera
as high as possible, this position would not work because the top and the hood of the vehicle are obstructing the
camera� In this scenario, it would be better to mount the camera on the front grill or in a similar position that is above
1/3 of the vehicle’s height�

For smaller vehicles like cars and vans, mounting the camera high on each side can sometimes result in undesired
shadows from the mirrors� In these cases, you might need to lower the cameras below the mirror line�
In a vehicle with a at front prole (like a re truck or transit bus), mounting it high and center is (often) optimal.
Ultimately, as long as the camera can see the ground (on all sides of the vehicle) without obstruction, then it’s in a
good mounting location �
Keep in mind that large bumpers or accessories like snow plows and winches can obstruct the camera view. This is
why its important to always soft-mount and calibrate before securing the cameras� If there’s an obstruction, move
the camera and calibrate again to see if the obstruction disappears from the image�
Be careful of bumpers

Once you’ve determined your camera mounting locations, hold the cameras in position (with tape or temporary adhesive),
and perform a calibration� To learn about the calibration process, download a copy of the inView 360 Calibration Guide
from the FRC inView 360 Fusion website page. (Please see the links on the left side of this website page for both the
Installation and Calibration guides�)
Hard-Mounting Cameras
If you’re happy with the calibration images, then you can begin hard-mounting the cameras to the vehicle� To do this:
1� Use the supplied camera drill templates to mark the drill holes. Ensure that the template is placed in the right direction.
2� Drill the holes and remove the template�
3� Feed the camera cord through the center hole�
4� Remove the adhesive from the back of the camera bracket and place it on the vehicle surface. Align to the drilled
holes�
5� Remove the adhesive on the camera lens�
6� Place the cover over the camera�
7� Fasten the cover to the vehicle with the two black screws.
8� Cover the screws with the black round adhesive screw covers.
9� Seal the camera base with waterproof caulk.
10� Inside the vehicle, connect the camera to the extension cable, then to the appropriate connector on the video
harness�
11� Repeat for each camera�

Test and Calibrate
Once you’ve installed the cameras, you’ll need to do a nal function test to ensure that the installation was successful.
1� Power up the system and verify that the monitor turns on�
2� Using the driver button, cycle between the different camera views. Each time you click the button, the view
should change� You should have views for the following:
• 360 + Front
• 360 + Right
• 360 + Rear
• 360 + Left
• Full Front
• Full Rear
3� Repeat calibration if there are issues with the images�
