HD3W Wedge Camera Quick Installation Guide

Installation Kit Contents

• 1x HD3W wedge • 1x security key
camera
• 1x Drilling template
• 3x #10 3/4" Phillips
screws
CAUTION: Cable Compatibility
This camera requires a special Analog High Definition
(AHD) cable - as indicated by a blue band in front of the
connectors. A standard cable may appear to work on a
small analog screen, but the image will be significantly
degraded during subsequent playback.

1. Choose Camera Location

1. 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 (7/8") 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. Ensure the extension
cable has a blue band in front of the
connectors, indicating it is AHD
(Analog High Definition)-compatible.
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.
TIP: Seal the Camera Mounting Holes
For outdoor installations, if a flat surface is not avail-
able, carefully seal the mounting holes under the base
of the camera after installation. Do NOT apply silicone
or other sealants around the base of the camera.
TIP: Housing Can Scratch Vehicle
When the camera cover is open, take care to ensure it
does not flop against the vehicle surface. Damage to
paint can occur.
