1. Choose Camera Location
1. Determine the location for mounting the camera. Select a flat
location to minimize possible moisture leakage into the vehicle.
Cameras must be installed with the cabling running inside the wall
panels.
2. Use the supplied drilling guide template to mark the cable (11/16”)
and screw (5/32”) holes on the panel.
3. Use a step-bit to drill the cable hole, and regular bits for the screw
holes.
2. Connect the Camera
1. Connect the camera cable to the extension cable through the
panel cable hole. See Figure 1.
2. Connect the extension cable’s 2×3 Micro-Fit connector into a
digital video recorder (DVR).
3. Open the Camera
1. Using the security key supplied with the camera, loosen the four
captive screws on the housing. See Figure 2.
2. Lift the housing off of the base.
4. Install the Camera
Use the three #10×3/4" mounting screws supplied with the camera to
attach the camera to a wall or ceiling. See Figure 3.
The mounting gaskets on the camera base seal the screw and cable
holes when mounted on a flat surface.
5. Connect Local Video Out
1. Connect an RCA cable to the Local Video Out RCA jack, shown in
Figure 2.
2. Connect the RCA cable to a video monitor to see the camera’s line
of view while adjusting the camera’s rotation, pan, and tilt
positions.
CAUTION: Vehicle Leakage Risk
For outdoor installations, if a flat surface is not available,
carefully seal the vehicle’s mounting holes under the base of
the camera after installation. Do NOT apply silicone or other
sealants around the base of the camera.

6. Aim the Camera
To get the required video image, adjust the camera‘s rotation, pan, and
tilt settings using the adjustment controls shown in Figure 4 and
described in the following steps:
1. Rotation: depending on how the camera is mounted, turn the
camera lens until the silver triangle on the lens face is pointed
straight up to ensure the camera shows a level view.
2. Pan: grip the camera pan adjustment U-Bracket sides and twist it
to find the required view.
3. Tilt: loosen the tilt adjustment screws on the U Bracket until the
camera can tilt. Tighten the tilt screws after adjustments are
complete. Do not adjust tilt after tightening screws.
Do not adjust any other screws.
