Introduction
Rosco’s Dual-VisionTM XC allows recording of exterior/interior video and vehicle travel data.
Mounted on the windshield, Dual-VisionTM XC’s twin cameras capture wide-angle views of the
forward exterior field of vision and the driver/passenger compartment. Privacy concerns may be
addressed through several means, including disabling of interior audio recording.
Data is recorded in a continuous loop, with oldest video erased by more recent video. The
compact system can hold many hours of data before any over-writing takes place. An internal
GPS antenna enables capture of vehicle location, speed, and direction. Important “Events” such
as excessive G-Force and speeding are placed in special protected files along with video
segments identified by the driver as being important.
All the data is stored in proprietary files located on a removable SD card. Video, audio,
location information, and G-force data may ONLY be reviewed by accessing the contents of the
SD card using Rosco’s proprietary Player software on any Windows PC. The software is
provided at no additional cost to the end-user, and there are no follow-up fees for use or
updating of the Player by authorized users. Critical videos may be converted to standard media-
player formats for transmission to legal or administrative offices.
Security: Dual-VisionTM XC is a commercial grade product designed to be used in a variety of
applications. The optional Security Lock discourages unauthorized removal of the SD card.
Installation via hard-wire connection to a vehicle’s electrical system discourages tampering and
provides recording capability even after the engine has been shut off.
Optional DV-Pro® Fleet Management Software: Dual-Vision™ XC kits are complete with our
standard Dual-Vision™ XC Player software. For more advanced needs, Rosco has developed DV-
Pro®, an exclusive fleet management software program for managing multi-vehicle video
recordings and data. This powerful software provides the ability to archive footage or to insert
descriptive tags highlighting video segments of interest. Post-route GPS data is easily accessed
to help evaluate location, routing, and speed.
The DV-Pro® software includes a comprehensive set of driver behavior reports. The program
enables export of data to Excel spreadsheets for further analysis and distribution of detailed reports
to management. There are no monthly fees or setup costs associated with DV-Pro®. Contact
Rosco Vision Systems or your authorized dealer for more information.

Installation
This is the preferred installation for commercial and other fleet vehicles. The PDC Module provides
the power regulation and data control necessary for proper operation of the Dual-Vision™ XC
Recorder.
- Each vehicle has its own system and features. Please refer to your vehicle’s manual for
details.
- Turn the ignition key off while installing the cables and device.
- Select a secure protected location for the PDC module.
- Make sure to connect Ground wire first!

PDC(Power/DataControl)ModuleInstallation
1. Prepare all the parts necessary for installation.
2. Find the location of the fuse box in the vehicle. Identify the
fuses for connection of the RED POWER wire and the
YELLOW IGNITION wire. Identify appropriate location for
installation of the PDC Module in the vehicle.
3. Identify approximate Dual-Vision™ XC Recorder location
on windshield. Confirm sufficient cable length available to
connect PDC to the Dual-Vision™ XC Recorder. Remove
the A-Pillar cover and insert the cable at the gap between
ceiling and windshield.
4. After determining that PDC location is appropriate, trim the
cable length as necessary, and make the following
connections:
a. Connect the BLACK WIRE (GROUND -) with ring
terminal to a chassis ground.
b. Connect the RED wire (POWER +) to a constant –
powered source which will remain live after the
ignition is turned OFF.
c. Connect the YELLOW wire (IGNITION) to an ACC
power source.
EXAMPLE:
Ground Wire Ring
Terminal connected to the
vehicle chassis ground

MountingtheDual-Vision™XCRecorder
1. Determine Dual-Vision™ XC Recorder location on windshield.
Typically the Recorder is mounted behind and slightly below the
mirror.
Make sure the interior-facing camera and the LCD display are
not obstructed by the mirror. Different vehicle/windshield
combinations allow many other acceptable mounting locations
(see alternate Dual-Vision™ XC location at left). The goal is
always to minimize forward-viewing obstruction while enabling
optimal recorded images. Dual-Vision™ XC Recorder should be
level both vertically and horizontally.
2. Clean the windshield glass with commercial glass cleaner. Using
the adhesive pad marked “temporary”, place Windshield
Mounting Bracket on windshield at the selected location. Slide
Dual-Vision™ XC Recorder into the bracket and connect
Recorder cable to the cable from the PDC Module.
3. Turn the vehicle ignition on, and observe LCD display on
Recorder to confirm proper electrical connection. (See Page 18
for details)
4. Allow Recorder to run for a few minutes. Turn the vehicle ignition
off and confirm the LCD display is off, indicating that no power is
going to the Recorder.
5. Remove SD card and review video to confirm GPS acquisition
and camera views. (See Pages 19 – 23 for Player instructions) If
acceptable, proceed to next step for permanent installation.
6. Once testing has confirmed proper location, remove the Dual-
Vision™ Recorder and Windshield Mounting Bracket. Using a
marker, note the position of the holes on the sides as shown in
left image.
7. Peel off the temporary adhesive pad and clean the windshield.
Break open the glass primer ampoule and apply a layer of 3M
Primer on the surfaces of both the Windshield Mounting Bracket
and the windshield. Let the primer dry for at least two minutes.
Attach the permanent adhesive pad to the Windshield Mounting
Bracket, and then carefully press the assembly onto the
windshield, holding it in place with pressure for about 30 seconds.

MountingtheDual-Vision™XCRecorder
IMPORTANT
Installation of permanent mounting should only be done when windshield is at room
temperature. Allow 2-4 hours for adhesive bond to cure properly before operating vehicle.
8. To permanently set the Recorder mounting position and the camera angle, insert screws into
the two bracket mounting holes using a screwdriver, as follows:
1. Remove the Recorder from windshield
mount, using care to avoid changing
the angle.
2. Remove the Recorder from windshield
mount, using care to avoid changing
the angle.
Two Screws:
#6 x ½” Self Drilling,
Philips Pan
3. With the camera angle now locked into
position by the screws, re-insert the
Recorder into the Windshield Mounting
Bracket and press the lock button to
secure the Recorder in the windshield.
9. Connect Recorder cable to the PDC Module cable. For
most vehicles, this connection will be made within the
overhead space, and will be covered by the headliner.
For additional security, or for installations on very large
windshields, a heat shrinkable tube is provided for sealing
the connection point. Cover exposed cable with included
cable raceways as needed – cut raceways to size.
10.Check all of your connections and confirm the following LCD
display status after parking surveillance mode is activated
(see Page 17 for details):
a. After ignition is turned off, a blinking LCD will indicate
parking surveillance is operational.
b. If LCD does not blink, surveillance mode is not active.
