1Overview
1.1 Description
The Thermal Driving Assistance System (driver’s system for
short) is an optical system for vehicle driving during the night,
even without light. The driver can see the passengers, animals,
or other objects in the view, and react to any potential risks.
It helps the driver to see the road clear with low illumination, in
fogs, smokes, and even in total darkness. Therefore it ensures
the driving security.
1.2 Functions
High performance chip
DDE (Digital Detail Enhancement) technique
LED display
User-friendly design
IP67
1.3 Appearance
The Thermal Driving Assistance System has a camera, a
display, and other accessories. There are two camera types:
thermal lens camera, and thermal & optical dual-lens camera.

2Installation
The installation of thermal lens camera, and the installation of
thermal & optical dual-lens camera are alike, here we take the
installation of dual-lens camera as an example.
2.1 Preparation
●Make sure the device in the package is in good condition
and all the assembly parts are included.
●Make sure that the wall is strong enough to withstand four
times the weight of the camera and the bracket.
2.2 Camera Installation
There are three types of installation: magnetic installation,
pendent installation, and base installation.
2.2.1 Magnetic Installation
Notes:
●The system is secured to the vehicle roof with the
ferromagnetic plate. The glue of metallic plate (purchased
separately) can NOT be used repeatedly, make sure you
place it in the right place at once.
●If the vehicle roof is ferromagnetic, skip the first two steps.
Steps:
1. Clear the vehicle roof.
2. Slightly bend the magnetic plate (purchased separately) as
the curvature of the vehicle roof and make sure that the
plate fits the vehicle properly.
