Chapter 3 Installation Instructions
3.1 Installation Considerations
Basic Requirements for Installation
All electrical work must comply with the latest electrical regulations, fire regulations and related
regulations in the place of use.
Be sure to turn off the power of all related equipment during installation.
Description
Cable Requirements
It is recommended that the installation cable is in the same direction as the original vehicle cable, and
the wiring shall be installed along the original trunking of the vehicle and bound to the original vehicle
cable.
Make the wiring neat and concealed to prevent the driver and passengers from breaking.
3.2 Installation Environment
Preparation Before Installation
Take the device out of the package, check that the device and accessories are not damaged or missing,
and then start installing the device.
Attention
Be sure to disconnect the power supply when disassembling, wiring, etc.
Environmental Requirements
Before the recorder is installed, it is necessary to carry out the deployment reconnaissance and planning
of the installation location and wiring to ensure the safety and stability of the power supply and wiring.
At the same time, the convenience and rationality of wiring need to be considered.
Anti-vibration: Choose a place with weak vehicle vibration (such as behind the driver's seat or behind
the passenger's seat), away from the engine.
Heat dissipation: Ensure that the equipment is far away from the heat source on the vehicle and

14
installed in a well-ventilated location to facilitate heat dissipation.
Space: Reserve the space needed for air circulation, heat dissipation, flip cover, etc.
Placement angle: Place the forensic host horizontally. Any other angle installation method may damage
the equipment.
Fixing: It is recommended to use the national standard M4 combination screw to fix it. All fixing
screws must be tightened in place to avoid loosening after long-term driving and bumping, causing the
recorder to fall
Description
The specific installation position is adjusted according to the on-site model, and it is necessary to watch
the surveillance video and view the vehicle status easily
3.3 Installation Tools
Please prepare anti-static gloves and a Phillips screwdriver before installation.
3.4 Install Equipment

Description
For positioning or navigation, please install the satellite positioning antenna in the same way.
Please install the 3G/4G antenna and positioning antenna in the proper position according to the actual
situation on site, and complete the installation by connecting the cable through the corresponding
interface of the device. The antenna installation instructions are as follows:
1The antenna must be placed vertically with the signal receiving end facing upward.
2When the remaining cable is long, it can be rolled into a loop and bundled to avoid affecting the
received signal.
3The 4G antenna is installed on non-metallic objects such as the windshield or seat back in the car,
and a distance of more than 50 cm from metal objects.
4The positioning antenna is recommended for roof installation
1) In case of special circumstances, when the positioning antenna needs to be installed in the
car, the following specifications must be followed.

16
2) Installed on the lower edge platform of the front windshield of the vehicle and fixed with
neutral silica gel.
3) When adjusting the antenna position, ensure that at least 4 satellites have a signal strength of
more than 35 dB.
Chapter 4 Wiring Instructions
4.1 Power Wiring
Attention
In order to ensure the correct wiring, please ask the vehicle manufacturer for the connection
method of the start switch before connecting, so as to prevent the wrong connection and damage
the equipment.
When taking electricity from the car, please install the car fuse on the positive pole of the
power supply. Please consult the car manufacturer for the specific installation method.
The power connection mode of the recorder can be selected according to the shutdown operation.
If you need to delay the shutdown after the vehicle is turned off, please select the delayed
shutdown connection.
If you need to shut down in a fixed period of time, please select the timing switch
connection
Description
Please refer to the "Operation Manual" for the function configuration of timer switch and delayed
shutdown.
4.1.1 Delayed Shutdown
The power supply of the host has three red, black and yellow wires. The red and black wires are
directly connected to the car battery, the red wire is connected to the positive electrode, the black wire
is connected to the negative electrode, and the yellow wire is connected to the ignition wire (ACC). If
the red wire and the yellow wire are tested indoors, they can be connected together. Positive pole, then
directly use DC12V power supply,
Detect the power cord connection is normal, normal start then the power lamp is blue.
Connect the output line AV-OUT to the display and connect the corresponding equipment to the

17
terminal to confirm whether the connection is correct
The following figure shows the test wiring and the actual loading power supply wiring:
Note: ITH-M525 has no physical switch button, it can be turned on when the power is turned on, and turned off
when the power is disconnected
4.1.2 Timer Shutdown
For timing shutdown configuration, please refer to "Operation Manual"
4.2 Alarm Input
When the recorder is required to perform alarm linkage for vehicle information (such as opening and
closing doors, etc.), alarm input wiring and configuration can be performed.
Alarm Input (ALARM IN): Connect to the vehicle's corresponding high and low level signals as the
recorder alarm input signal, which can be linked to the alarm output for alarm.
Description
For the function configuration of the alarm input, please refer to the "Operation Manual".
4.3 Alarm Output
The device has 4 alarm inputs and 1 alarm output interface. The alarm input detection is all level
detection, which can be connected to various vehicle driving states, such as brake, steering, vehicle
switch, alarm button flat output, and the drive capacity is 200mA. To connect a device with a higher
power, an external relay must be connected. The alarm output wiring diagram is shown in Figure 2-8.
When the brake plate is stepped on, the MDVR can detect the high level, otherwise it will be low, and
the alarm output is Electricity
4.4 IO-COM
When the recorder is required to link the braking, steering and reversing actions of the vehicle,
IO-COM wiring and configuration can be performed. ITH-M525 supports IO alarm 4CH inputs and
1CH output, and CAN bus 1CH input.
Step 1: The alarm I/O interface is connected to the extension cable.
Step 2: Connect the IN interface to the vehicle braking, reversing and steering information collection
interface.
