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.

11

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.

13

Mounting the Recorder Unit (DV401)

1. Install the SD Card as shown below. Hook the Recorder onto the top of the bracket and firmly

push the bottom of the Recorder to engage it into the Mount, confirmed by an audible “click”:
(See below)

Properly Assembled Recorder & Mount:

Interior View Left Side View Right Side View

2. Lock the recorder into position by pressing the two side-locks in, prior to turning on Power.

3. Turn the vehicle ignition on, and check that the Recorder LCD display lights up to confirm
proper electrical connection. Confirm that the LCD displays “GPS”, “CH1”, “CH2”, “REC” and

SD CARD

14

time of day. “GPS” might not display if the vehicle is not outdoors. For the first time, it may take
up to 2 minutes for the Recorder to acquire a satellite signal and display “GPS”. (see below)

4. Allow Recorder to run for a few minutes. Turn the vehicle ignition off and confirm the LCD
display dims/blinks slowly, indicating Parking Surveillance Mode. Refer to p.17 to safely

remove the SD card.

5. Review SD card to confirm GPS acquisition and camera views. (See Pages 18-33 for Player
software installation and video playback instructions). Open DV-Pro5 on a PC, then insert the
SD card into the PC’s SD card slot or reader. At that time, the files on the test SD card will pop
up. Click to view test video. If the video recording indicates that Recorder location is not
acceptable, adjust the bracket angle and/or re-position bracket, and test again. If the Recorder
placement is acceptable, proceed to the next step for permanent installation.

6. Use a Nylon Pry Tool to carefully peel off the temporary adhesive pad and remove the
Mounting Bracket. Clean the windshield. Break open the glass primer ampoule and apply a
layer of 3M Primer on the surfaces of both the Windshield Mounting Bracket and the
windshield. Let the primer dry for at least two minutes. Attach the permanent adhesive pad to
the Windshield Mounting Bracket, and then carefully press the assembly onto the windshield,
holding it in place with pressure for about 30 seconds.

7. Do not re-mount Recorder yet. After permanently attaching the Mounting Bracket, allow at
least 2 hours at room temperature to make sure that the adhesive properly cures. Then make
sure there is an appropriate SD card inserted into the back of the Recorder, and proceed to
“clip-in” the Recorder body into the Mounting Bracket. You are now ready to begin recording.

IMPORTANT

Installation of permanent mounting should only be done when windshield is at room
temperature. Allow 2-4 hours for adhesive bond to cure properly before operating vehicle.

15

DVXC4 Operation

Drive Recording

• Your DVXC4 is supplied with an SD card pre-configured with factory default settings (see
page 22-25). Insert the SD card into a PC and add identifying information. Of course, you
may also change the values of any configurable setting as desired. Make sure to “SAVE” as
instructed on page 25.

• After re-inserting the SD card into the back of the Recorder, proceed to “click-in” the
Recorder into the Mounting Bracket as previously described.

• Turn the ignition on. “boot” will appear on the LCD display indicating that the Recorder is
initializing. Approximately 30 seconds after powering on, the LCD will briefly display “F1XX”
indicating the firmware version, and a chime will sound indicating that initialization is
complete. Although GPS still may not be active, recording begins when “REC” is displayed.

• Within two minutes of start (assuming outdoor location), the GPS signal will be acquired, and
the GPS icon will light up. Subsequent vehicle starts will acquire GPS signal significantly
faster than the original start-up. GPS location data will be continuously analyzed, and each
video file will contain embedded location, speed and direction data.

NOTE: When the vehicle is in motion, the LCD displays vehicle speed. When the vehicle comes

to a complete stop, the LCD speed indicator will display the time after a few seconds. The
option to show speed can be disabled by changing the SD card configuration (See Page 22)

16

Continuous and Event Recording

Continuous (Normal) Recording

• When the ignition is OFF, Dual-Vision™ XC4 Recorder remains powered for an additional 5
seconds to finish recording. If Parking Surveillance is ON, LCD Display will show “PARK” icon
on and count-down the parking time in minutes and the LCD will be blinking and dimming
slowly and the recording will be continued until the parking time ends.

• Dual-Vision™ XC4 creates proprietary files (identified as “.nvr” files) which contain video, audio,
and tracking data. Proprietary .nvr files will only playback on DV-Pro5 Player program.

• Continuously recorded .nvr files are NOT protected against overwriting. When the capacity of the
SD Card has been reached, the oldest non-Event files are overwritten.

Event Recording

• Event Recording – When a preconfigured speed or G-sensor values are exceeded, or when
Driver Event Button is pressed, an “EVENT” is created. That is, the .nvr file associated with that

Event is marked and protected against overwriting.

• Event files may be locked or unlocked via the SD Card configuration (See Page 24).

o If Event Locking is enabled, new event files will be created until they fill up about 25%

of the SD card space. Those first event files will never be overwritten and the DVXC4
LCD will display “FULL”. However, the remaining 75% of the card will continue to
record normal continuous video and overwrite as needed. New event files will be
treated as normal continuous video files and will be overwritten by normal continuous
files. In order to remove the locked files, the card will need to be formatted (See page

33).

o By default, Event Locking is disabled in the SD card configuration. New event files

will be created until they fill up about 25% of the SD card space. The newest event files
will then overwrite the oldest files (a FIFO queue, first-in first-out). It is strongly
recommended that event locking is left disabled in order to preserve the newest
event files for the maximum amount of time without user intervention.

Event Settings

This page configures the way videos are flagged as events. All videos flagged as events are
saved to a separate portion of the SD card. This way, they are generally preserved much longer
than regular video files (up to a year depending on how often they are generated). Care must be
taken to adjust these settings for optimal incident or driver behavior reporting.

CONFIGURATION ITEM

DESCRIPTION

Event Settings:

Driver Event Button: enable/disable the driver event button located on the recorder itself. The driver hits
this button to manually flag an event.
External Driver Event Button: enable/disable the button. Same as the above driver event button except
connected via a cable.

Speed Event: enable/disable events automatically triggered by the speed of the vehicle
Speed Threshold: Set the speed at which the speed events are automatically triggered.
Trigger Output: Choose an output in order to send a 12V signal to either the Out 1 or Out 2 white wires

coming from the advanced PDC module whenever that particular event occurs (see page 36). These
outputs are set to off by default.

G-Sensor:

The DVXC4 contains a G-sensor to sense vehicle motion (stopping, acceleration, etc). Adjust these
settings for optimal event flagging based on motion/impacts etc.
Axis Enabled: Enable whether that axis is used at all. X= Left/Right Y= Front/Back Z= Up/Down
1= the force due to gravity, so the Z axis should always be set greater than 1. 0= no force at all.
Basic & Critical: These G-sensor events are triggered while the vehicle is powered and moving. Critical
values should be set higher than basic to denote more intense accelerations.
Parking: G-sensor events while the vehicle is off and the recorder is in parking surveillance mode. Set
these values lower in order to sense disturbances to the vehicle while it’s parked.

Sensor Settings:

Sensor Inputs 1-4 correspond to the 4 yellow wires on the advanced PDC (see page 7). These wires will
sense 12V inputs to trigger Events. Input examples are a seat belt confirmation, a door open switch, etc.

Others:

We strongly recommend leaving the “Lock Event Files” selection unchecked. This is to allow the newest
event files to replace the oldest event files in the case that the event file portion of the SD card is full.

Setting Up and Analyzing G-SENSOR Data

The G-Force sensor detects changes in directional forces affecting the vehicle. The Dual-Vision
XC4 Player displays G-force data in a graphical format, and creates Events when those forces
exceed supervisor-set values. One may interpret the data as follows:

Notes on G-Force Sensor Settings
Note that X & Y axes are 0 when vehicle is stationary. The Z-Axis is at +1 when vehicle is

stationary and on a flat slope, due to the force of gravity. Adjust the g-sensor threshold values in
the DVXC4 configuration with this in mind (see page 24). This is a trial-and-error effort,
since different types of vehicles will react differently under various road conditions. The values
for the Z-Axis must be set above 1, so that it does not record Events while the vehicle is not
moving. Under normal driving conditions for an automobile, settings of X= 0.5 G, Y= 0.5G,
Z = 1.8 G are recommended as being sufficient to identify driver-behavior issues while being high
enough to avoid most unnecessary event-marking caused by potholes or normal braking.

Backing Up Video Files to Your PC (Import)

DV-Pro has a built in “Import” function that creates and automatically organizes a database of
video on your local machine/server, limited only by the data storage resources at your disposal.

Step 1: Insert SD card into Reader slot or Device and open DV-Pro 5. Video file list will populate. You

can choose to import the complete contents of the SD card to the PC or just to import files by Event type,
date/time, or by individually selecting files of interest.
Step 2: Click on the Import icon (

) located at the lower right corner of the player screen next to the
map. A pop-up “Import” window will then appear. NOTE: If “Source” is blank, click “Change Source” to
select the directory of the SD card. Make selections as needed. Click “Import Files” to save the files to the
PC.

Step 3: The window will show save progress. Do not close the window until all selected files imported.
Step 4: When the window confirms “Importing Complete”, click “Close” or click “View Files” button to

confirm the files were saved correctly.
Step 5: Confirm the desired files were saved to the directory chosen in Step 2.

Note: Prior to clicking “Import”, the “cog”
icon on the home screen can also be
clicked to change the import location.

31

Conversion of Video To AVI

This function converts a portion of the recorded data into an .AVI file that can be viewed on
universal video players such as Windows Media Player, VLC Player, etc. This feature allows
sharing of video across multiple platforms via email or any other means of file transfer.

1. In the main player Window, choose the video

file(s) of interest using the Select Checkbox.
Click the Export AVI button ( ),
click “Change” button to select the target
directory, and make the desired selections of
channels and audio (see right).

Note: DV-Pro5 cannot immediately save

the .avi files to external media such as an SD
Card or USB memory stick, but only to your
PC’s hard drive. The AVI file can however be
moved to any external media after initial
export. Click on Start and conversion will take
place.

2. The converter will create AVI files and will

place them in the desired PC directory.
The window will show the progress of file

conversion and confirm with a “Conversion
Complete” message when done. Click
Close, or “View Files” to confirm correct

export.

3. If viewing files, click on the

AVI file to playback video
using a universal player
program such as Windows
Media Player or VLC
Player.

4. You may now move the

new .AVI files to any SD
card or other external
media. You may also
email them as
attachments, upload via
Dropbox or other FTP
service, etc.

32

Vehicle Location Map

The Dual-Vision™ XC4 records GPS data to enable historical review of vehicle location and route.
The map coordinates are automatically synchronized with Google Maps®. You may manually re­sync the map by clicking the “Popout” button on the upper right corner of map.

Additionally, one may select various video files using the check boxes, and then click the “Show Route”

button in the File Menu Tree. A map window will then appear showing the vehicle’s traversed route in

the span of the selected videos, highlighted with a red line.

NOTE: To use any of these functions, the PC must have an internet
connection.

33

Format SD Card using DV-Pro5

IMPORTANT

SD CARD FORMATTING MUST BE DONE USING DV-PRO5

ONLY. USING THE PC’s DEFAULT FORMATTER OR A THIRD

PARTY TOOL WILL RENDER THE SD CARD
UNUSABLE BY THE DVXC4 RECORDER.

1. Open DV-Pro 5. Select the SD CARD using the “Change” button on the

main screen. (NOTE: The SD Card will be automatically recognized if SD
Card is inserted before opening DV-Pro5.)

2. Click the “Format SD” menu button in the bottom right corner of the main

screen.

3. If you want to keep the current configuration, check the box to save it in the formatted SD

card. Otherwise, the contents of the SD card will be completely erased. Click the “Format”
button to format the SD card.

4. When the format is complete, the following screen will appear:

5. If the “Keep configuration” box was checked

prior to format, go to “Computer/Removable

Disk” and confirm “config.txt” file is still there.

You may use the newly formatted card in a
Recorder as-is, or use DV-PRO5 to update
the configuration if needed.

Close DV-Pro 5. USE THE “EJECT” FEATURE ON YOUR PC PRIOR TO REMOVING

THE SD CARD FROM YOUR PC. See page 26. Then see page 14 to re-insert the SD

Card into the Dual-Vision™ XC4 Recorder and into the vehicle.

34

SD Card Maintenance

IMPORTANT

Remember to ALWAYS turn OFF the vehicle prior to removal of SD Card from
Dual-Vision™ XC4 Recorder.

• When parking surveillance mode is OFF, turn ignition off. It is safe to remove the SD card

after the Recorder’s LCD display turns off.

• If parking surveillance mode is ON, turn ignition off and wait for few seconds until the

LCD display begins blinking/dimming. Then press and hold the Drive Event Button for at
least 5 seconds. The LCD will show the message “SHUT” and then turn off after a few
seconds. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS ON PAGE 17 TO UNLOCK THE RECORDER AND

REMOVE THE SD CARD.

Do Not Use SD Card for any other purpose other than recording with the DVXC4. Using this SD Card for

any other purpose or removing the card while the Recorder is powered may cause a fatal error on the SD
Card. You will lose important data if SD card is removed without following proper shutdown procedures.

Recommended: Use the DV-Pro 5 “Import” function to back-up the SD Card’s video files onto your

PC or other mass storage resources.

IMPORTANT: Rosco recommends formatting the SD Card once every six months to a year, using the DV-

Pro5 program, to prevent SD Card errors from accumulating over a long period of time. Periodically
formatting SD card using DV-Pro 5 program not cleans up bad sectors in memory and will decrease the
possibility of losing or corrupting video files.

Note that upon formatting the SD Card, all existing files will be deleted. Be sure to perform a backup of
any important video files and configuration prior to reformatting. After formatting, you may insert the SD
card into Dual-Vision™ XC4. The Recorder will automatically write the previously used recording
Configuration file to the SD card.

The “DV-Pro5” program and User Manual does not automatically re-install onto the SD Card. If desired, it
may be added manually by copying and pasting from another location. New data files will be automatically
created as driving resumes.

Consult Rosco or an Authorized Reseller for SD Card compatibility. Not all SD Cards work with the Dual­Vision XC4 Recorder. The following is a list of approved SD Cards which may be purchased from Rosco.
This list may be periodically updated without notice.
