DVR

Digital Video Recorder; A DVR functions similarly to a VCR, except it uses a disk to record, as opposed to video-tapes.

H.264

H.264 contains a number of features that allow it to compress video much more effectively than older standards and offers up to twice the compression of the current standards.

OSD

On Screen Display; Is an image superimposed on a screen picture commonly used to display information such as volume; channel; time; status, etc. and can be used to change the specific values for all configurable options.

SD Card

Secure Digital Card is a non-volatile memory card format for use in mobile devices.

UTC

Coordinated Universal Time is a time standard based on International Atomic Time with leap seconds added at irregular intervals to compensate for the Earth's slowing rotation.

Introduction.

Congratulations on the purchase of the Gatekeeper Systems 304-SD DVR. This Solid State Digital Video Recorder offers H.264 compression, the same compression technique as used in Blue Ray disk players, which produces crystal clear, best in class, video imagery.

In place of a spinning hard drive the 304-SD records to a removable SD memory card. Utilizing state of the art surface mount components the 304-SD is built to withstand the shock and vibration of vehicle operation. In order to play back the recorded video the 304-SD utilizes custom video viewing software, the “G4 Viewer”, a very easy to use application which allows users to quickly find the video of interest and save a clip. With the press of a button users can print images and then send them to qualified staff.

The battery should be disconnected from the vehicle before working on the electrical system of the vehicle when installing, servicing or removing Gatekeeper products.

All Gatekeeper employees or contractors who preform electrical work (install, service or remove a DVR, installing a backup camera system for example) on a customer vehicle shall ensure that the battery in the vehicle is disconnected before work commences.

Customers shall be responsible for addressing any systems on the bus which require attention as a result of disconnecting the bus battery. This includes, but is not limited to, entering a radio theft code, programing radio stations etc.

Glossary.

6 -

Remove Main Power Fuse or Disconnect Vehicle Batteries Prior To Any Electrical Work Or

Jump Starting The Vehicle.

Firmware updates (available from www.gatekeeper-systems.com when released) are system specific, firmware updates must only be applied to the 304-SD system. If this firmware is applied to any other Gatekeeper Systems DVR warranty will be void.

The 304-SD has an operating temperature range of -40° C to +65° C. It is good practice to ensure that the 304SD is mounted in an area in which acceptable temperature ranges are experienced. Do not remove the cover of the 304--SD series as this will void any warranty.

When a system has shipped with a GPS antenna, ensure that the GPS antenna is mounted externally on the roof of the bus, magnetic side down.

Important Safeguards and Warnings.

The battery should be disconnected from the vehicle before working on the electrical system of the vehicle when installing, servicing or removing Gatekeeper products.

If at any time there is a question about how to proceed, contact Gatekeeper Systems Inc. at 1-888-666-4833 or 604864-6187 immediately for directions.

Standard Mount

Right Side Mount

Left Side Mount

Mount In Bulkhead.

Gatekeeper Systems understands that mounting the 304-SD DVR in the bulkhead above the front windshield is often employed. As the bulkhead area is not heated or cooled it is subject to temperature extremes. In order to implement best practices Gatekeeper Systems recommends that the 304-SD mounted in the passenger compartment that is heated and cooled. By avoiding temperature extremes (hot and cold) the components in the 304-SD DVR will be subject to less temperature stress.

UPGRADE

Important: When updating firmware on a GSI 304SD system ONLY use the approved and up to date firmware. Once the firmware has been successfully updated, the system will automatically restart. It is essential for this restart to take place. Once a firmware update and configuration has been loaded into the DVR, the configuration must be checked for correctness. If discrepancies are found the necessary changes must be manually made to the configuration.

1. Log In to The Gate section of www.gatekeeper-systems.com and download the correct firmware for the GSI

304SD system. Please refer to the appropriate firmware “Release Notes” for specific file information.

2. Save this file to a USB Storage Device. The file must be saved to a folder named dvrupgrade. DO NOT place the

firmware anywhere else or the upgrade will fail. The file will be in a .sw format and should not be renamed or changed in any way.

3. Double check that the file name of the downloaded firmware has not been changed by the internet browser. If

additional characters such as brackets or numbers have been added, manually remove these from the file name.

4. Go to the recorder on the vehicle. Connect a portable monitor (or ICD Assembly) to the GSI 304SD system. Turn the

bus ignition on. This should power the unit on automatically.

5. Using the remote control or ICD, enter the user name and password. Refer to technical documentation for

username and password information.

6. Insert the USB Storage Device into the front of the GSI 304SD unit.

7. Using the arrow buttons, go to the Wrench and Gear Icon > System > Config > Export Config > Are You Sure You

Want to Export Local Config (select yes). If this is successful, a window will appear that states “Export Success”. The

config will now be saved to the USB Storage Device.

8. Using the arrow buttons, go to the Wrench and Gear icon > “System > Upgrade”.

9. Arrow down to “Upgrade” and select ENTER. If you see the message “No External Storage”, reseat the USB Storage

Device and try again. During the upgrade the LED’s on the front of the unit will flash all at once for approximately 3 seconds and then go out. This pattern of flashes will repeat until the update is completed. The upgrade may take several minutes.

10. Once the upgrade has been completed, press EXIT on the remote until you see the unit restarting. At this point, the

304SD will restart automatically.

11. Once the system has restarted, go to System > Config > Import. Confirm the import and wait for the message stating

“Import successful”. Exit the system menus and the unit will need to restart once again.

12. Once the unit is restarted, check to ensure that all video channels are still functioning. To check the firmware

version, use the arrow buttons and go to System > Upgrade and check the “Current Version”.

APPENDIX

The battery should be disconnected from the vehicle before working on the electrical system of the vehicle when installing, servicing or removing Gatekeeper products.

Camera Mounting and Connections.

 Camera mounting locations are to be determined by the district.  Cameras should be mounted to the ceiling whenever possible. Install the rubber pad provided with each camera and cut

a small notch in the rubber pad to accommodate the camera cable. The audio hole on the front of the camera can be used as an aiming guide for the direction the camera needs to be facing.

 All camera harnesses must be carefully routed to the 304-SD unit to avoid pinching or piercing the shielded camera

cable.

 All cables running through holes in sheet metal (ceiling, bulkhead etc.) must be protected with grommets.  Ensure included gasket is in place between dome base plate and mounting surface.

When installing multiple cameras, mark camera harness wires so the school district knows which camera is front

by looking at the marked Molex output connectors,

and back

A. Rubber Gasket. B. Base Plate. C. Camera Ball. D. Camera Collar. E. Retainer Ring

1. Disassemble the camera into its five major parts, A, B, C, D, E and carefully place all

parts in a clean work area.

2. Position the Base Plate (B), in the mounting location. Ensure that there are no gaps

between the Base Plate (B) and the mounting surface. If there are gaps, relocate the camera to a position where there are no gaps.

3. Note the location where the camera harness will come though the bodywork of the

vehicle. Drill a ¾” hole in this location. This ¾” hole MUST be directly in the center of the Base Plate (B) to allow for the terminal end of the camera harness to correctly connect to the Camera Ball (C). When access behind the camera is not possible, the cable can be routed from the side through one of the cut out notches B1 in the camera base. The supplied grommets must be used as part of this procedure.

4. Center the camera over the ¾” hole and mark the location of the 4 screws used to

secure the camera base to the vehicle. Ensure that one of the camera cut out notches, B1, is aimed at the viewing target. Use the supplied TEK, self-tapping, screws to fix the camera base to the vehicle.

5. Connect the Camera Ball Molex connector to the connector at the end of

the camera harness. Hold the Camera Ball firmly against the Base Plate with the Microphone, C1, pointing downwards. Position Camera Collar (D) over Camera Ball (C) with the lens window centered in the arched cut away in the Camera Collar.

6. Hold Camera Collar (D) securely while threading on the Retainer Ring (E)

until finger tight. Be careful not to cross-thread the components.

7. To aim the Camera Ball (C), video from the camera can be viewed by

connecting a portable LCD/Monitor with an RCA connection to the front of the 304-SD, or, by use of the ICD accessory available from Gatekeeper Systems.

8. Re-position Camera Collar (D) prior to tightening down the Retainer Ring (E) so that it does not interfere with line of sight of the camera

and IR LED’s in the Camera Ball (C). Ensure the Camera Ball and Harness pigtail are not pinched or trapped between the Camera Ball (C) or the Base Plate (B), it must be able to move freely.

9. Tighten all accessible set screws on the Retainer Ring (E) and Camera Collar (D). In some installations several of the set screws will

not be accessible due to close proximity of the camera to the vehicles bodywork. In this situation tighten down the set screws that are accessible.

Check For:

 Ceiling mount recommended.  Do not obstruct walkways.  Avoid contact with abrasive metal to prevent short circuits.
