DVR Installation
DVR Unit Mounting
The DVR unit is the core of the Recording System. All system connections go to the DVR unit and the
storage device (SD Card or SSD) is located inside the DVR unit. It is important to choose a good
mounting location for the DVR unit as its location should be readily accessible for viewing status/removing
the disk as well as optimal for reducing the installation time of the entire system.
Choosing Mounting Location:
The DVR unit itself is small and can be mounted in a variety of locations. The black lockable mounting
cage has four (4) pre-drilled holes for mounting; however additional holes can be drilled in the mounting
cage to provide better attachment to the mounting surface.
Things to consider when choosing mounting location:
Access to the front of the DVR to view lights and/or remove storage media
Access to insert and turn key to remove cover, test for accessibility if necessary.
Access to the rear of the DVR for service
Locate all structural members that may make it difficult to run wires. Avoiding these by choosing a
good mounting location saves installation time
Proximity to other RF devices such as two way radios and computers (must be at least 6” away)
Cable routing for power, GPS, Event Marker Button, triggers, and cameras
Fastening to mounting surface and what is behind it
Recommended Mounting Locations:
Front overhead compartment above windshield: Mount to the
driver’s side for easy cable routing.
Compartment above the driver: Place locking enclosure and
use the key to ensure easy access.
Under the first seat behind the driver: Mount inverted directly
to the seat bottom.

Installing DVR Power Cable
The power cable is an essential component of the DVR unit, it provides power to unit and also controls
when the unit turns on and off. It is important to ensure that primary battery power connection is to a
clean 12V-24V DC power connection.
RED
Fused 12-24V DC Battery Power: The battery power wire should be connected to
an always-on power location on the vehicle. The connection should include a 3A fuse
(provided) and should be connected to its own circuit that is not shared with other
components or accessories. If possible, connect directly through a 3A fuse to the
positive terminal of the vehicle’s battery.
GREEN
Key ON Ignition Signal: This wire is used to tell the unit when the ignition of the
vehicle is ON. It can be connected to a 12/24V DC ignition source through a 3A fuse
(provided) or to a ground level ignition source. If using a ground level ignition source,
the wire must first be connected to a 12V source, then the setting for “Ignition Level”
must be changed in the power menu to the proper “LOW” level setting before final
connection to the ground level source.
BLACK
Chassis or Battery Ground: The ground wire should be connected directly to a
clean grounding stud/screw or directly to the negative terminal of the battery.
IMPORTANT! Do not connect the red battery power wire to a battery drain protection device such as a
ChargeGuard®; this can cause abnormal performance and/or damage the electronics
inside the recording unit. The unit itself has a battery drain protection function built in.
IMPORTANT! You must use fuses that can handle the current draw of the unit with all cameras and
accessories. With the DVR unit, 8 cameras, GPS, Event Marker Button, and a Solid State
Disk (SSD) the current draw is ~3A at 12 VDC.
IMPORTANT! The included red and green fuse holders are for the protection of the DVR unit; it is not
required to use these fuse holders if a suitable substitute is provided. Failure to install a
fuse inline on the red battery power or green ignition power connection wires could result
in damage to the vehicle or system that is not covered under warranty.

Analog HD Mini-Dome Camera Installation
The AHD Mini-Dome Camera (Kit P/N: DVR-921, Camera P/N: PC-1921) is
designed to be mounted inside a vehicle. The camera is used most often inside the
passenger seating areas inside buses and trains, but it also works well in the cargo
area of box trucks and vans. It has a built-in microphone for audio recording as well
as built-in night vision LED’s with an automatic sensor for capturing video in low-
light conditions. Its small form factor and high adjustability allow this camera to be
mounted in a multitude of interior locations. The camera lens has a wide 170°
horizontal and 90° vertical coverage.
Mounting Location:
The ball and socket dome design allows 360° rotation around the base,
180° adjustment perpendicular to the base, and 360° rotation to level the
image. The camera typically is installed with the cable going through a
panel directly underneath the mounting location to hide the cable, but it
can also be installed where the cable exits the side of the base if there is
no room to route the cable behind the camera’s mounting location.
Installation:
1. Disassemble the camera by loosening the three (3) hex head set
screws located on the locking ring. Lift up on the locking cover
and remove it from the camera assembly. Remove the camera
ball and pull the cable through the mounting base.
2. Find the desired camera mounting location and hold the
mounting base up in position.
3. Mark the four (4) mounting holes using a marker or pencil.
4. If the cable is going to be routed through the center cable hole
and into a panel, mark the center cable hole as well.
5. If applicable, drill out the marked center hole using a 3/4” drill bit.
Clean up any sharp edges to prevent damage to the cable.
6. If the camera cable will exit through the cable grove in the
mounting base instead of through the mounting surface, the
cable must be routed through the cable grove before attaching
the mounting the base to the mounting surface.
7. Align the camera base over the marked screw holes and then
using a drill with a Phillips bit, install the four (4) self-tapping
mounting screws.
8. Connect the camera connector to the cable running to the DVR
unit, if it is not yet installed, install the cable at this time and then
continue to step 9.
9. Hold the camera ball and feed any excess cable through the hole
or cable grove in the mounted base until the camera ball is
resting on the center of the mounting base.

Analog HD Side Camera Installation
The AHD Side Camera (Kit P/N: DVR-920, Camera P/N: PC-1920) is
designed to provide coverage around the outside of the vehicle. The
camera is waterproof rated IP-67 and has a wide-angle lens that can
capture a wide area around the outside of the vehicle. The camera is
designed to be mounted directly to a vehicle exterior body panel. The
camera has six (6) infrared (IR) LED’s that provide illumination during
low light/dark conditions. The camera also has a waterproof microphone
built into the camera housing. The camera lens has a wide 145°
horizontal and 80° vertical coverage.
Mounting Locations:
The camera’s wide field-of-view allow flexible mounting in
either a down facing or rear facing configuration while still
providing very good coverage of the side of the vehicle. For
down facing general recording applications, the camera is
typically mounted directly to the roof or side of vehicle body
near the roof facing outward perpendicular to the direction of
vehicle travel at a downward angle. The camera should be
mounted as close to the outside edge of the roofline as
possible to prevent blind spots directly next to the vehicle.
For rear facing applications utilizing the camera to cover blind
spots in combination with a monitor, the camera should be
mounted as far toward the front of the vehicle as possible.
When mounting to the vehicle, consider spray and debris
from the tires could affect the camera image, so it is
recommended to mount the camera a minimum of 3 feet off the ground to help prevent this. Always
check the mounting structure under the camera for proper access to route the cable.
Installation:
1. Remove the four (4) Allen head cover mounting screws from the camera and then remove the
camera ball and cable.
2. With just the camera base and gasket, hold in desired mounting location and mark the three (3)
camera base mounting screw locations and the center of the cable exit hole in the base.
3. It is recommended to power on the DVR unit, temporarily connect the camera to it, set the
camera in the mounting base (with gasket attached), and observe that the view in the desired
mounting location is satisfactory before permanently attaching the camera and routing the
cable(s).
4. Before drilling holes, ensure there is adequate clearance for mounting screws and cable routing
clearance.
5. If you are certain of the cameras mounting location, drill the center cable hole with a 3/4” or 7/8”
drill bit, and it is also recommended to predrill the three (3) mounting screw holes with an 1/8” drill
bit.
6. Route the camera cable through the base and gasket, and then through the cable hole in the
mounting surface.
7. Use the mounting hardware provided to attach the camera base to the mounting location.

8. Attach the camera cover to the camera with the four (4) Allen head mounting screws. Leave the
screws slightly loose until the camera is aimed.
9. Power on the DVR unit and connect to the Wi-Fi to view the live camera image to properly aim it
on the view page. (See Viewing Cameras on a Smart Device for connection details)
10. After the camera is aimed, tighten the four (4) Allen head mounting screws to lock the camera
aim.
