inView 360 Core Installation Guide
Introduction
The InView 360 Core is a high-denition multi-camera system that provides drivers with a top-down “bird’s eye” 360° view of
the area around their vehicles. Large vehicles, due to their size and shape, often have areas which drivers cannot see unaid-
ed. By providing drivers with a full 360° view of the area around their vehicles, the InView 360 Core helps to eliminate these
vehicle “blind spots”, contributing to the reduction of collisions with surrounding pedestrians and vehicles.
How Does the InView 360 Core Work?
High-denition cameras are placed high up on the front, rear, left, and right sides of the vehicle. Videos from these four
cameras are sent to the on-board computer, which, with the help of proprietary software, stitches/combines these video
feeds to create the 360° view of the area around their vehicles.

NOTE: Installation Locations
Vehicle makes, models and sizes vary. Therefore, this document does not specify exact locations for the kit’s
components. Instead, this document describes the best locations for installing components for optimal operation and
ideal placement of cameras for optimum elds of view.

inView 360 Core Installation Guide
Installation Process
There are multiple steps to be performed by different team members:
1. Install the inView 360 HD system
2. Calibrate the inView 360 HD system (See the inView 360 HD System Calibration Guide)
3. Verify that the inView 360 HD system was correctly installed and calibrated (See the inView 360 HD Verication and
Setup Guide)
Each step requires a specic skill set from the person who performs it.
NOTE: Installation Process
This document assumes that the installer is familiar with installing hardware in a vehicle. Therefore, this document
does not go into detail to describe how to mount the ECU and cameras, and how to route the kit cables.
Mounting the ECU
The ECU should be mounted in a location underneath the dashboard or somewhere within the vehicle where it is protected
from water, dirt, and physical contact, and it should have ample ventilation.
Accessibility
When installing the ECU, ensure that the IR Extension and USB cables are easily accessible. The USB cable will be used for
future rmware upgrades. The IR Extension must be placed so that no obstructions interfere with receiving a signal from the
IR remote.
Routing Cables and Connectors
After you have selected an optimal location for the ECU, and mounted it, you can begin routing the power, signal, radar/
proximity sensors and buzzer cables, as well as the push button.

Camera Placement Considerations for Long-Nosed Vehicles
Placing Cameras
It is important to keep vehicle type/shape in mind when considering camera placement. Also, it is important to keep in mind
the physicality of the vehicle when placing cameras. Watch out for mirrors and other vehicle elements that can create a
blind spot in the camera view.
General Camera Placement Considerations
When considering where to mount the cameras, it is important to follow these general guidelines:
• Place the cameras as high and as centered as possible to ensure that there are no immediate obstructions in the
camera’s eld of view.
Examples of Camera Placement on Commercial Vehicles
Examples of Camera Placement on School Buses
Mount the camera at the tip of the hood
on vehicles with “long noses” to get the
maximum eld of view.
You can see more by lowering the front
camera to the tip or nose of the hood.
Positioning the camera here allows
drivers to see more of what’s on the
road in and around the front of the
vehicle, especially pedestrians.
When mounting cameras on vehicles
with long noses, you should consider
that vehicle elements such as the roof
of the cab or the side mirrors might
obstruct the camera’s eld of view.

inView 360 Core Installation Guide
Camera Placement Considerations for Specially Shaped Vehicles
Vehicles that have special compartments or equipment in the middle, such as re trucks, might require special
consideration for mounting cameras. Because of the accessories and equipment that is usually added to emergency
vehicles, mounting the cameras high up and in the center might not be an option. The added equipment might block a
camera’s eld of view.
This is a situation where you should consider mounting the camera slightly off center.
Vehicle Center
In these illustrations, you can see that the cameras have been mounted slightly off
center to compensate for elements on the vehicle body that could block the camera’s
eld of view.
NOTE: Images are for illustration only
These images are just representations of camera placement. The orange areas do
not accurately portray the actual camera eld of view. Please refer to your camera
specications for a more accurate representation of the cameras’ elds of view.

Putting the Components Together
Connecting to the Power Source
When connecting to the power sources, please ensure the following:
• Red goes to vehicle power
• Yellow goes to vehicle ignition
• Black goes to vehicle ground
TIP! Cutting the Power Lines
It is important that the “extension” power lines are cut to length.

Connecting the ECU to a Standalone (Single) Monitor
It is recommended that you connect the InView 360 Core system to an in-cab monitor. This allows drivers to view the area
around their vehicle.

 NOTE: Where to nd a monitor
Monitors are sold separately and are not included in the InView 360 Core system kit. You should have received a
monitor in your installation package. If you do not have a monitor to install, please inform the client, or contact Safe
Fleet for assistance.
If you are installing the InView 360 Core as a standalone system (without a Safe Fleet DVR or NVR), then you can simply
connect the monitor directly to the ECU harness’ CVBS cable or to the AHD cable.
AHD
HD monitor
Choose the connection method for the type of monitor that will be used:
• To connect to a standard monitor, use the CVBS connector
• To connect to an HD monitor, use the AHD connector
Both of these setups can be congured so that the video feed to the monitor
cuts off when the vehicle attains a certain speed. Please see the inView 360

Connecting the Driver Alert System
Optional and Sold Separately
Proximity Sensors and a Buzzer can be connected to the ECU. They work together to alert the driver if an object is near the
vehicle. The Proximity Sensors sense if something is near the vehicle and the Buzzer sounds an alert for the driver.
The Proximity Sensors and Buzzer are sold separately as a kit along with the Proximity Sensor Interface Cable and Proximity
Sensor Master Controller.
Connecting the Proximity Sensors (Optional)
Up to 6 Proximity Sensors can be installed around the vehicle to monitor the area around the vehicle. When a sensor senses
something within the vehicle’s area, a buzzer in the vehicle’s cab alerts the driver.

Connecting the Push Button
The InView 360 Core system kit comes with a push button that, with the use of the dashboard push button mount/template,
can be mounted in the vehicle within the driver’s reach. The button has multiple functions, depending on how a driver
presses it. This is how drivers use the button to access features:
Short press 0-3 seconds: Use a quick press of the button to cycle through the different camera views for the vehicle (front,
rear, left, right).
Long press 3-5 seconds: Use a longer press of the button to turn the Outrigger feature on and off.
Longer than 5 seconds: Press and hold the button to turn
on the Outrigger feature. The Outrigger feature remains
on as long as the button is pressed. Release the button to
turn off the Outrigger function.
