Dakota Micro, Inc. Title: 9M/7M Users Manual Thank you for purchasing the AgCam®/EnduraCam®. The AgCam®/EnduraCam® is a durable, reliable surveillance system with the innovative ability to be quickly moved from one application to the next. Training videos are available on the Dakota Micro website at www.dakotamicro.com 2. Standard Features a. Camera Waterproof, shockproof, suitable for nearly any use. Minimum focal distance of 5”.

Function Plugs (Elite Models Only) There are two function plugs on the bottom of each Elite Dakota Micro camera, near the camera tail. They will look like two additional screws at a slight angle recessed into the camera body. The function plugs utilize a polarized magnet to change camera functionality. 1) IR ON/OFF.

Page 5: Cable Installation & Mounting
Dakota Micro, Inc. Title: 9M/7M Users Manual and as flat as possible to ensure that the magnetic camera base will have good contact and not vibrate off. Permanent Mounting: For permanent mounting, it is recommended that you remove the magnet and attach to any solid surface with two (2) screws. After camera is securely mounted, plug Power/Video Input into AgCam®/EnduraCam® extension power/video cable. Make sure they are securely attached and locked (¼ turn will lock the cables together). Suggestions for Mounting Camera: When determining the location for the camera it is always best to use a solid surface to minimize vibration. Ladders are not good mounting choices due to lack of stability. If you will be using your AgCam®/EnduraCam® for assisting in visibility for towing, you will want to position the camera so you can see the desired area and a portion of the vehicle/trailer in tow; this will give you some reference to distance. You will also want to use the mirrored setting in the monitor menu or remove the magnet in the MIR Function Plug on the camera so as to accurately represent left and right. This will give you the effect of looking in a rear view mirror. Camera Warnings NEVER RELY ON YOUR AGCAM®/ENDURACAM® AS A SAFETY FEATURE. It is up to your discretion to keep your road travel and other operations safe. Your AgCam®/EnduraCam® will provide you with information only based on what it sees. Operation of machinery safety guidelines still apply. The AgCam®/EnduraCam® is equipped with an array of infrared light emitters which are invisible to the human eye. This feature will aid in low light conditions but has limitations. The effective range of the night vision feature is 1 to 45+ feet and will produce a monochrome image only. Do not attempt to drive machinery using this ... -
Page 6: Monitor Installation & Mounting
Dakota Micro, Inc. Title: 9M/7M Users Manual Secure all cables to vehicle/equipment using included cable clips, zip ties or other style fastener. If you intend to use your AgCam®/EnduraCam® for short length PTO operated implement, avoid excess cable lengths if possible. When you decide on a location you should fix the camera to a permanent bracket using ¼ inch bolts, and attach any loose cable securely so there is no chance of entanglement in the PTO or other moving parts. If you use your AgCam®/EnduraCam® to monitor a combine hopper or other combine operations, take care to remember that combines have many moving parts. Use extreme care when routing cables, and it is strongly recommended that you use bolts to secure the camera. While it would be sufficient to use the magnetic base for monitoring purposes during road travel, it is advised to secure the camera with bolts during operation of the combine. d. Monitor Installation & Mounting Mounting: Remove your monitor carefully from packaging, and inspect all mounting hardware. Mounting location is the most important part of the monitor installation to ensure maximum visual benefit from your AgCam®/EnduraCam® system. Keep in mind: Least direct sunlight. Keeping your monitor out of direct sunlight will prolong the life of the unit as well as ensure optimum visibility Does not obstruct your view Does not interfere with the normal operation of vehicle ... - Page 7 Dakota Micro, Inc.
