BusSecure User Manual 1 Theory of Operations THEORY OF OPERATIONS BusSecure is an industry-specific security camera system developed to help solve problems experienced by fleet operators. It is a digital video recording system that can support up to four cameras in a mobile environment and store captured images in a vehicle-mounted digital video recorder (DVR). Images can then be viewed and examined later. 1.
Theory of Operations 1.3 BusSecure User Manual FEATURES OF A BUSSECURE SYSTEM A BusSecure system consists of the required equipment and the accessories shown in Figure 1. Aluminum housing Microphone Camera Panic Button Up to four cameras per system Impact Sensor RG179 Siamese coaxial cable DVR assembly Figure 1.
BusSecure User Manual Hardware Installation HARDWARE INSTALLATION 2 The BusSecure/DVR digital video recording system supports up to four cameras, and an optional impact sensor, panic button, and microphone. Note: Most BusSecure products are not supplied with mounting hardware. Exceptions are noted in the appropriate sections of the manual. 2.1 TOOLS NECESSARY FOR INSTALLATION Ÿ Laptop / viewing station Ÿ Electrical volt meter Ÿ BNC crimper Ÿ Molex pin crimper Ÿ Riv-nut gun Ÿ Socket set up to 5/8 in.
Hardware Installation 2.2 BusSecure User Manual DETERMINING A SYSTEM LAYOUT Figure 2 is an example camera layout for a bus application. Note: For installation of these cameras, see their respective manuals. Note: Camera layout and fields of view will vary from vehicle to vehicle, and each customer will determine camera names or descriptions. Camera types, fields of view, and cable lengths will be determined by the customer-specific system layout.
BusSecure User Manual 2.3 Hardware Installation RUNNING CAMERA CABLES CAUTION When installing cables, follow these guidelines: Avoid excessive lengths of cable at the control and device end. Excess cable should be pulled back to a duct area where it can be folded and secured. Leave a service loop as directed for specific devices. Cables should not come into contact with bare metal edges, light ballasts, or magnetic speaker coils.
Hardware Installation 2.4 BusSecure User Manual INSTALLING CAMERA ASSEMBLIES The BusSecure system will support up to four cameras (color and/or monochrome). Cameras supported by the BusSecure system can provide a 1.0 V pk-pk composite analog video signal, either NTSC or PAL, at 75 ohm (CCTV standard). 2.4.1 INSTALLING SURFACE-MOUNT CAMERA ASSEMBLIES Surface-mount camera housings are typically mounted to the ceiling, but can be mounted to any flat vehicle surface.
BusSecure User Manual Hardware Installation 2.4.2 INSTALLING FLUSH-MOUNT CAMERA ASSEMBLIES There are two types of flush-mount cameras—square and angled. Flush-mount camera assemblies are mounted flush with the side panels of the vehicle. Note: The square bezel that holds the glass camera cover has countersunk holes in the back side that cover the two housing screws. The housing and bezel screws are separate to allow access to the camera for focusing and adjusting while the housing is held firmly in place.

Square flush-mount housing cover 2.4.3 ADJUSTING CAMERAS FOR FUNCTIONAL FIELD OF VIEW Depending on location, the camera’s position might have to be adjusted to provide the best field of view. Adjusting the camera positioning might include altering the position of the camera and, for surface-mount cameras, using a spacer.
BusSecure User Manual Hardware Installation To adjust the camera according to where it will be mounted on the vehicle, perform the following: 1) Figure 13 shows orientation of a camera for mounting on the curbside of the bus, the backside of the bus, or in a forward-facing position on the dashboard. Note that the lens set screw ( ) and the wiring harness ( ) are positioned at the top of the camera.
Hardware Installation 2.5 BusSecure User Manual INSTALLING THE IMPACT SENSOR (OPTIONAL) The Impact Sensor is typically mounted near the DVR and comes with a 7-foot cable that terminates in the DVR. CAUTION Do not install the Impact Sensor until you have tested its functionality on each vehicle. The Impact Sensor should be mounted on a flat, stable surface and secured to the frame of the vehicle. The mounting surface must not be subject to vibrations.
BusSecure User Manual 2.6 Hardware Installation INSTALLING THE PANIC BUTTON (OPTIONAL) The Panic Button is typically installed within reach of the driver. Note: There are two versions of the panic button: one with a key reset and one without. See Figures 17 and 18. Figure 17. Panic button without key reset Figure 18. Panic button with key reset 1) Using the panic button as a template, mark the location of the two mounting holes. 2) Using a 6/32-inch drill bit, drill the mounting holes.
