1. Introduction
This guide describes how to install and use the Bird's Eye View Camera System. The
RVS-77550 provides drivers with a real-time, 360-degree picture of the area around their
vehicle to eliminate blind spots, help improve pedestrian safety, prevent vehicle damage,
and avoid liability costs.
For a description of how the system works, please see section 13 “Using the System” on
page 32.
2. Installation Principles
2.1. Installer Qualifications
Installation of the Bird's Eye View Camera System is for certified personnel only. For more
information, contact Seon Service and Support (please see the back page of this guide for
details).
BIRD'S EYE VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM
The installation process involves drilling into the exterior of a vehicle to mount cameras.
Ensure you read this document carefully, and verify the correct mounting locations prior to
drilling.
Important: The installed system will not operate correctly until it has been calibrated. For
more information, see the Bird's Eye View Camera System Calibration
Guide included with the product Installation and Calibration kit.
Check that you received all system components (for more information, see section 3.1 on
page 6), and inspect the units for any scratches or damage before installing.
2.2. Positive Switch Signals Required
The three signal attachments must be positive switching inputs, the Electronic Control Unit
(ECU) cannot accept a negative switching signal. The signals must be clean and not multipurpose. In many new commercial fleet vehicles the body control module (BCM) decides
when vehicle lighting turns on and off. While this has some efficiency in the scheme of
things, it does alter how we test for the correct wire.
Page 4 of 36
BIRD'S EYE VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM
2.3. Reverse Wiring
The reverse signal is typically straightforward: connect to the wire that shows 12v when the
reverse lever is activated and reverse lights come on.
We highly recommend that a vehicle operator assists whenever testing the reverse signal to
ensure control of the vehicle.
2.4. Turn Signal Wiring
The left and right turn signal wiring can be somewhat different in newer commercial
vehicles. There is no longer a requirement to have the rear turn signals a different color
(amber) than the brake lights (red) - they may all simply be red. This fact, combined with the
addition of a Body Control Module, allows the vehicle manufacturer to use the left and right
turn wires to display a brake signal, simply by activating them both at the same time. This
also allows the use of a single bulb and a single wire to do both. The ECU can detect and
ignore when both left turn and right turn signals are active at the same time, but it cannot
detect either turn signal independently.
Therefore, when applying the brake and activating a turn signal while navigating a turn, the
turn would go undetected, as the brake has already applied 12v to both left turn and right
turn:

5. Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
5.1. ECU Installation Locations
When deciding on a mounting location for the ECU, ensure you take into account that the
calibration process will require access to each side of the unit:
• to insert and remove the SD card
• to plug and unplug the power connector
Install it in a covered, dry, but accessible location. Also consider cable lengths when laying
out the location of the unit.
Keep in mind the length of the monitor cable, as it isn’t shipped with a video cable extension,
and the supplied video cable will need to reach the ECU from the monitor position.
Here are a few ideal locations:

holes in the vehicle.
inView 360 Calibration Guide included with the product Installation and
Calibration kit).
The cameras see a 150 degree range of video. They need to be mounted as high up and as
close to the centers of the vehicle sides as possible for maximum view overlap during the
calibration stage.
Page 16 of 36
BIRD'S EYE VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM
8.2. Installing Side Cameras Below Mirrors
All four cameras in the Seon package are the same, and require 150 degrees of unimpeded
view from a parallel perspective of the vehicle. The view must not include side mirrors.
This is critical in placing the cameras, as shadowing can occur if the camera image that would
typically capture the ground is catching the protruding side mirrors, as in the case shown
below. The effect tends to produce parallel lines (shadow lines) in the calibrated software,
and it gives an undesirable appearance.
The first step in understanding camera placement for a 360-degree view system is to
recognize the range of the cameras being installed: the effective angle range of the inView
360 cameras is 150 degrees parallel to the side of the vehicle.
Imagine inverting a protractor and placing it on top of the vehicle image. This will give a close
estimate to help you choose where to look for an acceptable place to mount the camera.
As a rough template, we recommend you make a simple template similar to the pink version
pictured above, cut it out and simply lay it on an image of the vehicle. If you do not have an
image, you can take a picture on your smart phone.
This isn’t meant to be an exact measurement of where to place the camera to avoid mirrors it is to give you an idea of the areas that should work.
Page 17 of 36
BIRD'S EYE VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM
When working on a new vehicle for the first time, the cameras should be temporarily
attached to the vehicle, and the side images examined to determine if the camera image can
see the side mirrors. The rule of thumb is typically that the shorter a vehicle is, the lower the
cameras may need to be to avoid the mirrors in the image.
Once po

tential areas for side camera placement are established, the next step is to look at

mera locations must be symmetrical to calibrate the system.
The section beyond this door toward back is also unacceptable as a mounting location, as
the door slides over this area, and would likely hit a camera mounted there. Therefore, the
only symmetrical position available would be somewhere on or within the forward green
section, or underneath the mirrors.

eras must be mounted at the furthest point toward the outside of the vehicle
8.2.2. Under Mirror and Door Mount Option
While the under-mirror mount does appear to solve some shadowing issues created by body
panel mounting, it is not for a novice installer.
It requires disassembling the door panel, removing and disassembling mirror housings,
running wiring through the door into the vehicle, and in some cases dealing with moles in
the doors.
Do not attempt the above, unless you are experienced at this level.
This application is not possible in all types of power or standard mirrors: the mirror itself
should meet the criteria below before it is determined that placement is viable:
Page 19 of 36
BIRD'S EYE VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM
• The mirror must have adequate extra space inside the mirror housing.
• The mirror must be flat on the bottom, and have enough surface area to
allow for mounting the cover. A 1 1/8” (28mm) diameter hole is required to
accommodate the camera.
• The mirror housing must have a pathway to run the camera cable wiring.
• Some door wiring is connected at the jam with a large Molex; the customer
must be OK with an alternate (possibly less attractive) routing for this cable.
The first step in installing cameras in mirrors is to remove the glass from the mirrors.
This can be a daunting task, and rarely are two models alike. It is glass that is being
unclipped, and it can be broken care is not taken.
The mirror glass will be attached most often with 4-6 tiny clips, similar to what is
pictured above. These clips are plastic and can be broken easily. It is recommended
that attempting to pry the glass off not be done in a cold environment, as the plastic
is far more brittle at lower temperatures.
8.2.3. Removing Mirror Glass
1. Get under the mirror and tilt the glass all the way in at the top, exposing as much
area as possible; if you can, identify a small rectangular area between the glass
and the round plastic turret that the clips are hanging on to.
2. Using a large flat head screwdriver, slide the tip in the rectangular area and
attempt to gently pry the mirror free. Be sure to hold the mirror as you are doing
this.
Page 20 of 36
BIRD'S EYE VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM
If the
mirror does not pop free easily, do not force it.
3. Examine the mechanism further and consider if a different pry location might be
better.
4. Once the glass has been detached, proceed to removing the interior door panel
and the outside mirror housing.
5. If there is adequate room to drill the hole and mount the camera into the bottom
of the housing without impeding the motor, tilt mechanism, or manual cable,
then proceed with mounting the camera into the mirror.
The camera itself must be parallel to the side of the vehicle.
A common mistake is thinking screw holes in the under-mirror mount are 90
degrees perpendicular to the side of the vehicle – they are not.
8.2.4. Mounting Cameras on Doors
If you determine that under-mirror mounts are not an option and the side cameras must go
on the front door area, the standard industrial shrouds can be used to do this.
A thorough examination of the inside of the door, the window, window travel, and door
mechanism must be made when choosing a location for the side cameras.
An incorrect location can very easily lead to windows being ruined and/or scratched,
mechanisms being impeded, and wires being frayed or just snapped off all together. We
recommend plugging window switches back in and testing the up and down motion with the
door panel off prior to drilling any holes.
Regardless of whether the camera is mounted under the mirrors or in the door body, the
wiring must feed into the vehicle.
Page 21 of 36
BIRD'S EYE VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM
Typically this is done through the existing rubber door boot. While it is typically not easy to
get extra wiring through this boot, it can usually be done. A more significant challenge often
comes at the door side of the boot. Many domestic manufacturers have opted to install a
Molex plug at this end.
Determine if there is enough empty space available in the plug to drill and slide the camera
wiring through. If not, you must find an alternate location to run the wiring into the vehicle.
This could mean drilling a new hole in the door jam to accommodate the wire entry.
It is imperative to find a location to minimize the frequent motion stress this wire will be
under. It is also very important that any wiring entering the vehicle body drop below the
entry point of the vehicle. If the wire strings into the vehicle downward without a ‘drip loop’,
water will follow the wire into the vehicle.
Upon reassembly of the Molex back into the vehicle, ensure all electrical door items are
operational.

9. Connecting to Signals and Power
The inView 360 Around Vehicle Monitoring system requires six electrical connections to the
vehicle:
• Power for ECU and Monitor
• Ignition (switched or accessory) for ECU and Monitor
• Vehicle ground
• Left turn signal
• Right turn signal
• Reverse for ECU and Monitor
All required system inputs are 12v (or 24v) positive inputs.
1. Run wires from the ECU POWER harness to left turn, right turn, and reverse
signals. All signals must be positive.
2. Run wires from the ECU POWER harness to ignition, power, and ground.
BIRD'S EYE VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM
3. Install 3A fuse on the power connection.
4. Install 1A fuse on the ignition connection.
10. Testing and Calibration
Power on the system and check the basic functionality (for details, see section 13,
“Using the System” on page 32:
Note: The 360 view itself will not display correctly until you calibrate the system
(see step 3, below).
1. Test that the monitor comes on and switches views when the turn signals and
reverse gear are engaged.
2. If your system includes the optional remote control, test that the button switches
views.
3. Calibrate the system according to the procedures described in the inView 360
Calibration Guide (included with the Installation and Calibration Kit).
Page 25 of 36
11. Connecting to a DVR (optional)
While the system has a monitor to assist with driving and parking, Seon also offers the ability
to install a DVR and record the viewed image, in the same way that the DVR records a single
camera. An adapter (ARMF MicroFit to composite RCA) is all that is required to do this.
Recording the 360 camera view has some significant advantages: in the case of an accident,
it could provide critical video, and help establish what led to the crash. Center and lanedividing lines are typically visible on the monitor and in the recorded image.
Some DVRs such as the Seon TL-HD have a power output that can be utilized, allowing the
system to continue to record the 360-degree image after the vehicle ignition has been
turned off.
Follow these steps:
1. Connect the ARMF cable`s 2x3 MicroFit to an unused DVR camera socket.
BIRD'S EYE VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM
2. Connect one of the ARMF cable’s RCA connectors to a CVBS cable’s RCA
connector.
3. Connect the CVBS cable to a 2x1 connector on the VIDEO harness, connected to
the ECU.
4. Power on and test that the 360 video is displaying as a DVR camera input.
Page 26 of 36
12. Installing in Fleet Vehicles
In this guide, “fleet vehicles” refers to vehicles of approximately 20-foot length such as
standard size work vans, mini work vans, bucket trucks, etcetera.
The majority of fleet vehicles require the standard Seon commercial kit. There may be some
exceptions to the mount for the front (forward-facing) camera, but the side and rear
cameras should be appropriate.
The side camera images must not capture the side mirrors. There are 150 degrees of
effective parallel view to the side of the vehicle where the side mirrors should not be in the
in the image. This should be tested by taping the camera to the side of the vehicle and
capturing the image.
If the calibration pads are in view with the side camera, and the side mirrors are not, the
image is typically acceptable. It is the goal to have the side cameras as high as possible, while
missing the side mirrors entirely.

BIRD'S EYE VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM
12.1. Conventional School Buses
Installation in most full-size school buses is fairly straightforward. Due to vehicle length, the
side and rear cameras may be installed around the top perimeter. These are typically
standard wire runs when installing surveillance cameras inside the bus.
The front camera may also be installed on top in the transit-style (flat nose) school bus, but
the mirror locations should be assessed prior to determining this.
In the conventional school bus example below, the front camera is installed in the front grill,
to avoid the hood. Regardless, all wire runs in this type of vehicle should be straightforward.
Recommended Shrouds:

Page 28 of 36
BIRD'S EYE VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM
12.2. Conventional Transit Buses
Installing the system in a standard 40-foot transit bus is very similar to the process for a 40foot school bus. The wire runs for this vehicle are fairly standard. We advise testing the front
view prior to mounting the camera up high.
In most cases, public transit vehicles will have fold down bike racks on the front of the
vehicle, limiting the option to install below the windshield.
Typically, the ECU can be installed in the overhead compartment above the operator or radio
cabinet.
The system is not compatible with the negative-switching turn signals found in many full size
transit vehicles: the positive-switching signals must be located. Most modern full size transit
vehicles have multiplex circuitry – this likely requires running a reverse trigger wire to the
back of the vehicle and tapping the output from the node there. There will generally not be
anything useful in the front section.

Page 29 of 36
BIRD'S EYE VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM
12.3. Para Transit or Short School Buses
Installing the system in a cutaway transit vehicle may be more involved than a full size transit
vehicle. Due to the domestic chassis portion of the vehicle being narrower than the rear
body, the cameras must be mounted on the rear body. Due to the length of the vehicle and
the mirrors protruding from the sides, the cameras will most likely require being installed
below the side windows.
Because of the materials used and the way the bus is constructed, to properly mount the
cameras, a hole must usually be drilled from the outside into the vehicle. It is very unlikely
there is a way to wire between these panels after the bus is assembled. Therefore, a flat
conduit is required to shroud the wiring after it enters the cab of the vehicle. This is far from
ideal, and should be discussed with the customer before proceeding. The camera location is
necessary for successful calibration (for more information, see the inView 360 Calibration
Guide, included with the Installation and Calibration kit).

12.4. Fire Trucks
Note: This product is designed for a standard-length fire truck, and is not compatible with
a tractor-trailer version due to the pivot of the forward-facing camera.
Installing the system in a fire truck requires temporary placement of the side cameras prior
to drilling and mounting. Due to the construction of most fire trucks, side cameras will likely
not be mounted in the center of the vehicle, and instead will be more toward the front. We
highly recommend mounting the cameras high enough to see past the rear of the fire truck,
but low enough so as not to see the side mirrors in the image.
Most fire trucks have no access back through the rear portion of the body to wire anything regardless of fire truck type (utility, pumper, or ladder truck). The rear camera and reverse
wiring must be picked up at the rear of the fire truck, and run with the factory wiring
underneath the vehicle, then up into the cab-over section.
All wiring should be covered with convoluted tubing. This is a heavy industrial vehicle,
sometimes used in very harsh conditions. The system must be installed at a facility where a
lift is available, as well as the properly trained people to operate it.
