INTRODUCTION INSTALLING THE TE-360-3D It is best to read the following steps beforehand to clearly understand what is to be expected, The I-Beam TE-360-3D is a 360-degree 3D Surround-View-Monitor (SVM) camera system that before permanently modifying the vehicle. Also, when unpacking the TE-360-3D, do not damage utilizes the latest high resolution 180-degree “fish-eye” cameras to monitor and digitally record the box it came in as it will be used as a tool to calibrate the cameras. a 360-degree surrounding view of the vehicle. Coupled with the latest software technology, all cameras are seamlessly merged to form a single real-time image. Cameras: Activating the turn signals will show the respective left-side or right-side camera image. The If possible, try to keep all the cameras at the same vertical height to maintain the same image front camera image can be shown by a quick flash of the high-beams. While in reverse gear aspect. The closer you can get to the same vertical height, the better the image will look when it the rear camera image will be shown, and will supersede all other cameras. All camera images is seamed together. shown will be through either an aftermarket radio, or a stand-alone monitor (not provided). • Front Camera: Using (2) stainless steel Phillips screws provided, install the camera labeled “front” to a location that is in the center of the front of the vehicle. Leave the adjustment Supporting up to a 32GB USB flash drive or SD card (both not included), the TE-360-3D can record screws loose until the camera has been adjusted. Once the camera has been adjusted, up to 28 hours of continuous 1080p recording, automatically while you are driving, and also tighten the screws. Route the cable into the vehicle, and then to the location where the while the vehicle is parked (24-hr. video loop). Recorded videos can be easily retrieved and TE-360-3D interface will be installed at. Use caution not to run wires next to places that will played back, and used as evidence if need be. be hot, and also moving mechanisms. • Rear Camera: Using (2) stainless steel Phillips screws provided, install the camera labeled “rear” to a location in the center of the rear of the vehicle. The license plate area in most SAFETY TIPS vehicles is a good location. Leave the adjustment screws loose until the camera has been adjusted. Once the camera has been adjusted, tighten the screws. Route the cable into the vehicle, and then to the location where the TE-360-3D interface will be installed at. - Page 3 INSTALLING THE TE-360-3D (CONT.) then Insert the camera through the hole, but do not clip the camera into the hole just yet.

CAMERA CALIBRATION Applying the calibration tools: • Park the vehicle in a flat location, away from all obstacles. Apply the tape to the ground as shown. This is a very important step and the tape must be placed as accurate as possible to create a distortion free, seamless image. Have patience with this step. (Figure A, B, C) • Separate the TE-360-3D product box. The product box has an inner and outer shell. Each shell should be placed at one of the (2) reference points shown. Either B1 and B2 for the back camera, F1 and F2 for the front camera, L1 and L2 for the left camera, or R1 and R2 for the right camera. Whichever reference points are chosen will dictate the first camera to be calibrated. It would be best if the boxes were weighted down to avoid the wind from blowing them over.

Remote control functions: Camera adjustment: Having a Helper to help aid in adjusting the cameras is highly advisable, but not required. While adjusting the front cameras, ensure both front doors are fully shut. Also note, having the front windows down would make it to where adjustments can be made from inside the vehicle. • Turn the key (or push to start button) to the accessory position to power on the TE-360-3D. • Press and hold the “Left-Arrow” button on the remote control until the left camera comes on. • Rotate the left camera so it will show an image from the rear of the vehicle. Clip the camera in. • Insert the metal “U-shaped” tool provided into the front and rear holes in the bezel of the camera. (Figure A) • Pull the tool and camera towards the left rear of the vehicle. The image on the screen should not show the vehicle. It should be just slightly away from the vehicle. Looking at the camera it should appear to be aiming between the front and rear tires, away from the vehicle.
