Cable Routing:
After the locations of DVR and cameras have been determined, cables for the camera(s) can be routed.
Determine the approximate cable routing to the locations of each of the cameras. Remove all panels
along the route that cables will take to ensure accessibility. After the panels are removed and the path is
accessible install the cables.
Installation Tips:
1. For multi-camera installations it is recommended to mark both ends of the camera cable with the
camera number using a marker with text (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) or tick marks (I, II, III, IIII, etc.) on both
ends of each cable. This will easily identify which cable is at each location when final
connections are made to the DVR.
2. Carefully open all video cables and lay them out to full length. This will make it easy to pull the
cable and make sure there are not snags or knots in the cable while it is unraveling.
3. When making holes for cables in panels drill a ¾” hole with a drill bit or step drill bit.
4. Leave at least 4” of slack near the camera connection points to allow future servicing of cameras.
5. If excess cable is present, this can be doubled over or wound up. After all cables are run, you
may wish to use cable ties to hold them in place. If you do this, do not overtighten the cable ties.
It is possible to damage the shielding inside the cables by overtightening; make the cable ties
snug or slightly loose. Do not use a cable tie guns as these will overtighten the cable ties.
IMPORTANT! Read and understand the installation instructions below for the camera(s) to be installed
BEFORE drilling any holes in the vehicle. Some of the cameras have specialized
mounting designs that are not apparent without reading the instructions.
Digital HD Camera Expansion Cable
The Digital HD Expansion Cable (P/N: PX-1848) can be used on the Digital
Camera 5 and 6 inputs of the DVR unit to allow the connection of a 7
th
and 8
th
camera. The cable splits the camera input into two (2) inputs; the first is the
original input, and the second is the original input number plus two (2). It can be
used to make the split at either the DVR location or at the end of one of the
standard cables. Only one (1) cable can be used per digital input on the DVR.
