Introduction
Dual-Vision XC4 by Rosco provides HD recording of exterior/interior video, and continuously logs
vehicle travel data. Mounted on the windshield, Dual-Vision XC4’s twin cameras capture wide-angle
views of the forward exterior field of vision and the driver/passenger compartment. Privacy concerns
may be addressed through several means, including disabling of interior audio recording.
Data is recorded in a continuous loop, with oldest video erased by more recent video. The compact
system can hold many hours of data before any over-writing takes place. An internal GPS antenna
enables capture of vehicle location, speed, and direction. Important “Events” such as excessive GForce and speeding are placed in special protected files along with video segments identified by
the driver as being important.
All the data is stored in proprietary files located on a removable SD card. Video, audio, location
information, and G-force data may ONLY be reviewed by accessing the contents of the SD card
using Rosco’s proprietary DV-Pro5 Player software. The software is provided at no additional
cost to the end-user, and there are no follow-up fees for use or updating of the Player by
authorized users. Critical videos may be converted to standard media-player formats for
transmission to legal or administrative offices.
Security: Dual-Vision XC4 is a commercial grade product designed to be used in a variety of
applications. The Security Lock discourages unauthorized removal of the SD card. Installation via
hard-wire connection to a vehicle’s electrical system discourages tampering and provides
recording capability even after the engine has been shut off.
DV-Pro® Fleet Management Software: Dual-Vision XC4 kits are provided with the standard DVPro5 Player software. For more advanced needs, Rosco has developed DV-Pro5-ADS software, an
exclusive fleet management software program for managing multi-vehicle video recordings and
database management.
Contact Rosco Vision Systems or your authorized dealer for more information.

Installation
The complete installation requires a Recorder (equipped with cameras and microphone), a
Recorder Windshield Mount (equipped w power/video/data harness), and a PDC module. The
PDC (Power Data Distribution) Module is connected the vehicle’s power system. The PDC’s role is
to provide regulated power and external video/data connections to the Dual-Vision™ XC4
Recorder. See page 36 for a basic system connection diagram.
- Each vehicle has its own system and features. Please refer to your vehicle’s manual for
details.
- Turn the ignition key off while installing the cables and device.
- Select a secure protected location for the PDC module.
- Make sure to connect Ground wire first!
Power wiring diagram
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR INSTALLER
The DVXC4 Power Data Control Module (PDC) contains three wires—red, black, and yellow. The
yellow wire triggers Parking Surveillance by sensing the moment when the driver shuts the ignition.
Parking Surveillance typically provides recording at a lower frame rate for a pre-configured time
period. Parking Surveillance options are noted in the Configuration menu. In situations where a
manager chooses not to utilize this option, the system must be still wired properly to function. Use
the Configuration choices in DV-Pro5 to disable the Parking Surveillance Mode (see page 21).
Installers must be certain that the yellow wire is secured to the vehicle fuse block at a terminal which
will be at a zero-voltage state when the vehicle ignition key is OFF. A typical location on a fuse block
would be the ACC port for cigarette-lighter power. Please refer to the vehicle manual and fuse block
schematic to identify best locations for DVXC4 power/ignition/ground wire connection points. Zerovoltage state should be verified using a voltmeter prior to installation.
The PDC module includes internal circuit protection against high current or voltage spikes. It is very
important, however, for the professional installer to include appropriate external fuses.

PDC (Power/Data Control) Module Installation
1. Unpack the DVXC4 box and prepare all the parts & tools
necessary for installation.
2. Find the location of the fuse box in the vehicle. Identify the
fuses for connection of the RED POWER wire and the
YELLOW IGNITION wire. Identify appropriate location for
installation of the PDC Module in the vehicle.
3. Identify approximate Dual-Vision™ XC4 Recorder location
on windshield. See page 12.Confirm sufficient cable length
available to connect PDC to the Dual-Vision™ XC4
Recorder. Remove the A-Pillar cover and insert the cable
at the gap between ceiling and windshield.
4. After determining that PDC location is appropriate, trim the
cable length as necessary, and make the following
connections:
a. Connect the BLACK WIRE (GROUND -) with ring
terminal to a chassis ground.
b. Connect the RED wire (POWER +) to a constant –
powered source which will remain live after the
ignition is turned OFF.
c. Connect the YELLOW wire (IGNITION) to an ACC
power source.
EXAMPLE:
Ground Wire Ring
Terminal connected to the
vehicle chassis ground
5. Find a location for the Driver Event Button that can be easily accessed by the driver.
Avoid locations where the button may be inadvertently pressed, such as by the driver’s
knee. Remove the adhesive film and attach the button. Connect the Driver Event Button
plug to the Data Cable Harness attached in the PDC Module. Secure all loose wires and
components with cable ties and reinstall vehicle panels.
12
Installing Mounting Bracket (DV402)
1. IMPORTANT: Installation should only be done when ambient temperature is within 50°F-
100°F (10°C-38°C) to allow proper curing of mounting adhesive pads.
2. Determine the proper Dual-Vision™ XC4 Recorder location on windshield. Typically, the
Recorder is mounted behind and slightly below the mirror.
3. Make sure the interior-facing camera and the LCD display are not obstructed by the mirror.
Different vehicle/windshield combinations allow many other acceptable mounting locations.
The goal is always to minimize forward-viewing obstruction while enabling optimal recorded
images. Dual-Vision™ XC4 Recorder should be level both vertically and horizontally.
4. Clean the windshield glass with commercial glass cleaner. Using the adhesive pad marked
“temporary”, attach Mounting Bracket to windshield and press firmly.
5. After mounting, use the provided Hex Key to loosen the Hex Bolt on the Mounting Bracket.
Adjust Mounting Bracket to a fully vertical position and re-tighten the Hex Bolt.
6. Connect Recorder cable to the PDC Module. For most vehicles, this connection will be
made within the overhead space, and will be covered by the headliner. For additional
security, or for installations on very large windshields, it is advisable to enclose the
connection within a heat shrinkable tube or other protective cover, per your installer’s
suggestion.
