Installation
System Wiring – Power and Camera Cables
Note: All cables should be hidden from view.
For the basic system, there are five cables, one power (P/N 512002 – 16
Feet, or 512001 – 35 Feet) and 4 cameras (P/N 510993 or any different length
cable). For external record indication and alarm/event marking, the record indicator
/ event mark button harness (P/N 511986) is available (shown in Figure 12 on Page
25). The GPS harness (P/N 710144) is used for satellite location and movement
information. For additional vehicle monitoring, the BUS-WATCH® vehicle sensor
options harness (P/N 512008) is available.
Connect the camera(s) using cable P/N 510781, or equivalent. There is no specific
orientation for camera cables to be installed. If multiple types of cameras are installed in
a single system, be careful to note which cameras are located where. Use lenses with
more magnification (8mm) to bring objects closer. Use lenses with less magnification
(4mm) for wide angle viewing.
Connect power using cable P/N 512002, or equivalent. The black wire connects to
the negative terminal of the battery. The white wire (labeled 12V Battery) connects
directly to the positive terminal of the battery. The white wire should be fused at 10
Amps.
