Introduction
This is the Installation Manual to the MobileView (TM)
Forward Facing Camera. Read these instructions before
installing or operating this product.
Note: A qualified service person, complying with all
applicable codes, should perform all required hardware
installation.
This manual provides installation and operation
information. To use this document, you must have the
following minimum qualification:
• A basic knowledge of CCTV systems and
components; and
• A basic knowledge of electrical wiring and lowvoltage electrical hookups.
Installation
You can mount the camera from above or from below
(inverted). Some mounting surface might need to be
reinforced to minimize the vibration of the camera. In
these installations, place a tapping plate behind the
mounting surface.
To mount the camera, do the following:
1. Push the rubber boot onto the camera cover (Figure
1).
2. Position the unit on the mounting surface so that the
lens points toward the area you want to view.
Note: Consider the camera’s (with the boot
attached) proximity to the vehicle’s windshield, close
enough to prevent glare and far enough away to not
vibrate the windshield (about 3/4 inch
recommended).
3. Use the provided template (Figure 12 on page 4) to
mark the positions of the mounting and cable entry
holes on the mounting surface.
4. While following your local codes, cut the cable entry
hole and drill and prepare the mounting holes for the
type of surface and fasteners (not provided) being
used.
Note: We recommend attaching rivnuts and running
10/32 screws to mount the camera.
5. If you are hanging the unit from above, attach the
unit with fasteners (not provided) that are
