1Removing the Cover
1Use the security key provided with your camera to remove the
screw that secures the cover to the base. See Figure 1.
2Pull the cover away from the base. Do not twist the cover off.
3Unplug the audio module harness from the connector on the
main circuit board.
Figure1
2Changing the Window Bezel
The camera is factory assembled for wall mounting. For ceiling
mounting, swap the positions of the window bezel and the audio
module bezel. See Figure 2.
1Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four bezel screws.
2Exchange the audio module and window bezels. Install the
gasket between each bezel and the camera cover. Position the
anchor plate as shown in Figure 2.
3Replace the four bezel screws. Do not use lock washers on the
anchor plate screws. Do not overtighten the screws.

3Mounting and Wiring the Camera
The camera mounts to either walls or ceilings. Use the surface gasket if
mounting to a curved surface or over top of rivet heads. See Figure 3.
1Use the camera base or surface gasket as a template to mark the
mounting and wiring holes on the mounting surface.
2Use three #10×¾ sheet metal screws with neoprene washers
(provided with your camera) to attach the camera to the mounting
surface. Use the neoprene washers to ensure the camera enclosure
is sealed. (Alternate fasteners can be used if they are no larger in
diameter than a #10 screw.)
3Your camera is factory assembled with an external
video/audio/power cable. If necessary, this cable can be removed
for easier installation. Reattach the video, audio, and power wires
to the terminal blocks on the main circuit board. See Figure 4.

mating connector on the main circuit board.
2Place the cover over the base. Ensure the cover is seated in the
rubber gasket and the edges of the gasket are not pinched.
3Use the security key to install the security screw that attaches
the cover to the base. This completes the setup of the camera.

4Aiming the Camera
1Connect a video monitor to the video connector on the main
circuit board. See Figure 5.
2Rotate the camera carrier in the support bracket to get the
desired video image.
3If necessary, turn the support post counter-clockwise to allow
the support bracket to move forward or backward. Turn the
support post clockwise to lock the support bracket.
4Hold the camera cover in place to make sure the cover does not
block the video image.
6Adjusting the Microphone
1Adjust the sensitivity of the microphone for better performance
in different environments. Adjust the level control using a small
slot screwdriver. See Figure 6. Turn the control clockwise to
decrease the level. Turn the control counter-clockwise to
increase the level.
2The noise level will be much higher with the vehicle running.
Test the microphone under normal driving conditions to ensure
the correct sensitivity is set.

5Adjusting BLC and Indicator Lamp
The BLC (backlight compensation) switch adjusts the brightness of
the image based on light levels in specific areas of the video
picture. See Figure 5.
•If the BLC switch is OFF,the shutter speed is based on the light
level of the entire image.
•If the BLC switch is ON,the shutter speed is based on the light
levels near the center of the image. This can improve the quality of
images that are unevenly lit.
The Indicator Lamp in the audio module bezel can be turned ON or
OFF as desired using the lamp switch. See Figure 5.
