TH6 Installation and Setup Guide Introduction
Introduction
This Guide provides the following information for Installers, System Technicians, and Vehicle Operators working with
the TH6 DVR system:
Installers
Explore the TH6 DVR system components, physical and electrical installation, and system-level settings, including
camera and DVR conguration. You'll also learn to test system functionality and interoperability with other
equipment, how to clone DVR conguration, and performing rmware updates.
System Technicians
Help troubleshoot and maintain the mobile surveillance system using a monitor plugged into the DVR front panel,
remove and replace hard drives, access video, and set up cameras and recording options.
Note: on-screen conguration and video playback requires a portable video monitor and a USB mouse.
Vehicle Operators
Learn how to ag an event so incident video can be easily located, and understand the system status indicator, so
you'll know when the DVR is recording.
DVR systems must be installed by a professional installer with the appropriate experience and equipment.

Installing the DVR
Tools and Equipment
The DVR system must be installed by a professional installer. A professional installer has the experience and
equipment to install and congure this DVR system to run properly.
Check that you have all the system components and inspect the units for any scratches or damage before installing.
Keys included in package contents:
• DVR keys for securing the removable hard drive
• Front cover keys for securing the removable front cover
Conguration equipment:
For on-screen conguration: portable video monitor and mouse
• For vMax Web conguration: laptop and an Ethernet cable
Physical Location
The DVR is secured with a security front cover and a cable cover. The cable cover allows wiring to enter from the
underside of the back of the unit.
The DVR is designed for horizontal installation, on top of the mounting plate (see the diagram on page 8), but
may be installed vertically if required. Do NOT install the DVR upside down.
WARNING: Risk of Heat or Moisture Damage
Do not install the DVR in a location where the unit is exposed to excessive heat or moisture.
Installation close to extreme heat or moisture voids the product warranty.
Route wiring and cables away from sharp edges that might damage the insulation. Avoid sharp bends in the
cable.
Contact Technical Support before attaching the DVR to other equipment in the vehicle.
Before installing the DVR, keep in mind that a well-ventilated location and sufcient clearance around the unit are key
factors for performance and maintainability. The following table provides information on installation requirements.

Installation Requirements
1. Select an appropriate mounting location and
orientation (horizontal or vertical).
2. Insert a hard drive in the DVR.
3. Insert the key into the hard drive lock and rotate a
quarter turn to lock the drive.
WARNING: Safety and Electrical Systems
It is your responsibility to avoid damaging safety or electrical systems.
Ventilated
Location
Install the DVR away from any sort of heat outlet, heater, or AC blower. Do not operate the DVR
in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way. The DVR requires air circulation to maintain
optimum operation temperature and provide best performance. Do not expose the DVR to
moisture.
Mount to
secure
surfaces
only
Do not mount the DVR to a plastic panel or other surface that is subject to constant vibration.
Mounting
orientation
We strongly recommend mounting the DVR in a horizontal orientation (on top of the mounting tray);
however, to accommodate space restrictions, vertical mounting is acceptable. Do NOT install the
DVR upside-down.
Clearance
around the
DVR
Allow sufcient clearance of at least six (6) inches in front of the DVR and two (2) inches to each
side for removal of the security front cover and easy access to the hard drive and USB ports. Allow
sufcient clearance behind the DVR for camera cables, mounting cables, Ethernet cables, and
power cables.
Mounting
cables
The radius for the mounting cables will be dictated by the cable cover. The rearmost surface of the
cable cover will be about 3 inches from the back of the DVR to allow camera cables to bend over
each other.
Ethernet
cables Avoid right angle bends in the Ethernet cables.
Power
cables
Provide enough slack on the power cable to prevent any force from being exerted on the
connectors. A single 4-inch diameter loop is sufcient.
Physical Installation
The DVR typically ships with the locking front cover, mounting plate, and cable cover off, but in the shipping box.
The hard disk drive is in a separate box in the system shipping kit.

10. When DVR installation is complete, attach the front
door by hooking the door along the top edge and
turning the key to the locked position.
