Camera Installation Instructions
Step 1
Disassemble the camera into its five major parts, A, B, C, D, E and carefully place all parts
§
in a clean work area.
Step 2
Position the Base Plate (B), in the mounting location.
§
Ensure that there are no gaps between the Base Plate (B) and the mounting surface.
§
If there are gaps, relocate the camera to a position where there are no gaps.
§
Step 3
Note the location where the camera harness will come though the bodywork of the
§
vehicle.
Drill a 1" hole in this location. This 1" hole MUST be directly in the center of the Base
§
Plate (B) to allow for the terminal end of the camera harness to correctly connect to the
Camera Ball (C).
When access behind the camera is not possible, the cable can be routed from the side
§
through one of the cut out notches (B1) in the camera base. The supplied grommets
must be used as part of this procedure.
Step 4
Center the camera over the 1" hole and mark the location of the 4 screws used to secure
§
the camera base to the vehicle.
Ensure that one of the camera cut out notches (B1) is aimed at the viewing target.
§
Use the supplied TEK, self-tapping, screws to fix the camera base to the vehicle.
§
Step 5
Connect the Camera Ball Molex connector to the connector at the end of the camera
§
harness.
Hold the Camera Ball firmly against the Base Plate with the Microphone pointing
§
downwards.
Position Camera Collar (D) over Camera Ball (C) with the lens window centered in the
§
arched cut away in the Camera Collar.
Step 6
Hold Camera Collar (D) securely while threading on the Retainer Ring (E) until finger
§
tight. Be careful not to cross-thread the components.
Step 7
To aim the Camera Ball (C), video from the camera can be viewed by connecting a
§
portable LCD/Monitor with an RCA connection to the front of the DVR, or, by use of the
ICD2 accessory available from Gatekeeper Systems.
Step 8
Re-position Camera Collar (D) prior to tightening down the Retainer Ring (E) so that it
§
does not interfere with line of sight of the camera and IR LED's in the Camera Ball (C).
Ensure the Camera Ball and Harness pigtail are not pinched or trapped between the
§
Camera Ball (C) or the Base Plate (B) – it must be able to move freely.
Step 9
Tighten all accessible set screws on the Retainer Ring (E) and Camera Collar (D).
§
In some installations several of the set screws will not be accessible due to close
§
proximity of the camera to the vehicles bodywork. In this situation tighten down the set
screws that are accessible.
