II. Installation Guidelines
II-1 Installation Environment Requirements
In order to ensure the reliable operation of your Mobile Digital Video Recorder (MDVR) within the terms of the
product warranty, follow these instructions for installing your MDVR
a) Follow all electrical codes, adhere to all requirements for your vehicle and for other connected equipment
while installing and operating the MDVR.
b) Use only a regulated 12-volt DC or 24-volt DC (3 ~ 5 Amps) certified power supply for installation in
vehicles. The MDVR can handle power ranges from 9v ~ 55v DC. Follow the installation and operating
instructions provided to ensure a steady and reliable source of installation. Handle all electric equipment
and connections properly to avoid injuries.
c) Even though the recording unit may not be turned on, live power exists in the mounting assembly and
precautions should be taken to avoid shock or short circuit. Disconnect the power supply from its source
before connecting or disconnecting the MDVR mounting assembly from the power supply.
d) Do not attach any device without specified or approved by Vendor.
e) Attach the MDVR ground cable to the vehicle correctly to complete the power circuit.
f) Install the MDVR in a dry location shielded from direct contact with excessive humidity and moisture, rain
or other sources of liquid spills. Do not install on a recessed surface where liquids may accumulate or
under surfaces where liquids may drip.
g) Do not handle the MDVR with wet hands, while standing in water, or while in contact with other sources of
water or moisture that could create a shock hazard.
h) Install the MDVR out of direct sunlight and away from direct sources of heat.
i) Do not mount the unit to a surface subject to excessive vibration, or must mount the vibration dampening
system if necessary.
II-2 Mounting / Enclosing the MDVR
a) MDVR may be operated in a totally sealed enclosure with no cooling airflow, ensure that the operating
temperature of the MDVR does not exceed 140°F (60°C) or that the standard does not exceed 175°F
(80°C). The minimum operating temperature for the MDVR is -20°F (-28°C). (The below note is for
reference) If the minimum temperature is expected to exceed connect an auxiliary heat source.
TIP
If without the Heater, the MDVR's working temperature is -20 °C ~ +45 °C centigrade, with the Heater, the
MDVR's working temperature is -45 °C ~ +65 °C centigrade.
b) MDVR assembly may be mounted on a flat surface, provide at least 6 inches (15cm) clearance for
cooling airflow around the remaining sides to provide adequate heat dissipation.
c) To clean any surface of the MDVR, use only cleaners approved for electronic equipment or components.
Avoid chemical or household cleaners.
d) Disconnect MDVR mounting assembly from the power supply when not in use for extended period of
time.

II-7 MDVR Installation Location Guidelines
Following are the general guidelines for the installation purposes. Choose a location in the vehicle that
meets the following items:
Power: It is recommended that the MDVR be connected to the vehicle ignition. Battery power is used
only when the vehicle is running. MDVR could drain any vehicle battery over time if the
ignition is not turned off.
Connection: Connect only to appropriate power supply and ensure proper grounding of the circuit.
Moisture: Protect unit and connections from environmental sources of moisture and liquid spills.
Temp: Do not install where unit temperature will exceed F140°F (60°C), fall below -20°F (-28°C) or
store the unit where temperatures rise above 175°F (80°C). Avoid direct exposure to
sunlight.
Ventilation: Provide sufficient ventilation with a minimum of 6 inches cooling clearance to ensure proper
operating temperature for the unit.
Vibration: If necessary, provide additional shock mounting to prevent damage and wear by
excessive vibration.
Clearance: Front clearance of 8 inch is required to slide the recording module from the mounting
assembly.
Wiring: Install where mounting assembly wires have sufficient clearance and will not be crimped or
subject to wire insulation damages due to vibration.
Access: Secure the MDVR so that passengers or drivers cannot tamper or damage the unit, cameras,
wires or other accessories. Do not mount where access to any other vehicle component will
be restricted.
Injury: Install the unit, cameras, accessories and wires so that no injuries can be caused through
impact with equipment during vehicle operation. Ensure that all transportation regulations
are followed to avoid passenger injury should they come in contact with the installed
equipment.
II-8 MDVR Installation Instructions
Follow these guidelines when installing the MDVR:
xRemove all components provided in the package.
xDisconnect any power supply or device.
xLocate a proper spot to install the mounting assembly and provide any additional shock
absorption if necessary.
xLocate a reliable electrical ground point in the vehicle.
xMake all connections to the rear of the mounting assembly.
xConnect power source and turn the vehicle ignition (make sure this connect with “Signal”) to test
the unit.
xObserve completion of the unit power-up procedures as described in section labeled as “System
Startup and Shutdown”.
xApply any information labeling required by local statute for video surveillance.
