Need help?Do you have a question about the VideoProtects VP220D and is the answer not in the manual?
The VideoProtects VP220D & VP220-3 are advanced camera systems designed for vehicle monitoring, focusing on driver safety, road awareness, and optional cargo/utility surveillance. This comprehensive system integrates multiple camera views and intelligent features to enhance fleet management and incident reporting.
The core of the system is the VP220D camera, which serves as a dual-facing device, capturing both the road ahead (ADAS camera) and the vehicle's cockpit (cabin camera). This dual functionality allows for a holistic view of driving conditions and driver behavior. The ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) camera is designed to monitor the road for potential hazards such as following too closely and lane drift, providing alerts to improve driving safety. The cabin camera, equipped with photosensitive elements and infrared lights, monitors the driver and interior environment, which can be crucial for identifying distracted driving or other safety-related events.
The VP220D also incorporates a speaker and working status indicators to provide real-time feedback and alerts. Alarm indicators signal when an event alarm is triggered, while custom function buttons allow for user interaction. Connectivity is a key aspect, with dual-TF card slots for local storage, a SIM card slot for cellular network connectivity, and a Micro USB port for data transfer or configuration. The device is designed to integrate with a vehicle's power supply through various methods, including quick plug-in OBD-II or 9-pin power cable adapters, or direct "cut-in" wiring for a more permanent installation.
The optional VP220-3 camera extends the system's capabilities by providing surveillance for cargo areas or utility spaces. This camera is designed to be installed in a location that offers a clear view of the desired area, connecting to the main VP220D unit via a video cable. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that need to monitor goods in transit or activities within the vehicle's utility compartments.
Installation of the VP220D begins with careful positioning on the front windshield. The camera must be centrally located, ideally within 5cm of the vehicle's centerline, and within the working range of the windshield wipers to ensure an unobstructed view. The optimum vertical height for the external camera lens is between 130 cm and 240 cm from the ground, ensuring it does not obstruct the driver's view. The mounting bracket is affixed to a clean, dry glass surface using a 3M adhesive film, followed by securing the camera to the bracket with a PH2 cross screwdriver, adjusting for a vertical orientation.
Powering the camera can be achieved through three methods:
Once powered, the system's operation is validated by turning on the vehicle ignition and observing the status bar indicators. The status bar provides crucial information about the camera's operational status:
The VP220-3 cargo/utility camera is installed by affixing it firmly in a location that provides a clear view of the desired area, after removing its protective VHB plastic. It then connects to the main camera via a video cable. All cables for both VP220D and VP220-3 should be secured discreetly under the headliner, behind trim panels, or with zip ties to prevent interference with vehicle operation.
While the manual primarily focuses on installation and initial setup, several aspects imply maintenance considerations:
Overall, the VideoProtects VP220D & VP220-3 system is designed for robust, continuous operation in a vehicle environment, with user-friendly installation and clear indicators for operational status, facilitating straightforward usage and maintenance.
