Part 3| Cameras and Running Wires
-
Determine the desired locations for the four cameras. About 10% of the screen view should be the vehicle at the bottom part of the field of view.
Front Camera = Top of the grille
Left & Right Camera = Top of the vehicle at the length midpoint Rear Camera = Top center of the vehicle -
Run camera extension wires through the vehicle from each camera to the 360 Housing location.
Red Connector = Left Camera
Blue Connector = Right Camera
Yellow Connector = Rear Camera Black Connector = Front Camera -
Drill 1/4in hole in the vehicle at each proposed camera location to run the wire. Note: Check to ensure there is nothing behind your drill location and you can access the other side.
-
Run the camera wire through the drilled hole and assemble the camera & housing.
Note: The camera has an angle adapter plate.
To angle the camera farther down or up if needed, please place the angle adapter plate between the gasket and the camera body. -
Mark and pre-drill the screws that will attach the camera to the vehicle body.
-
Fasten self screws through the camera body and into the mounting surface (not provided).
-
Connect each camera extension wire to Camera Harness according to color.

Calibration
Part 1 | Preparing for Calibration |
---|
- Use either the calibration mats, or create your own by cutting four 5’ x 5’ squares in a color that contrasts the floor.
- Place a square in each corner of the vehicle about 2’ from front/back and 11’ apart.
- It is required to have the mats lay flat during the calibration process to ensure an accurate reading.
- This number is a starting baseline and is not an exact requirement.
- They can be adjusted as needed in later steps.
- It is important that they are in line and parallel with the vehicle.
|
Part 2| Calibration Setup
- Tap on the rightmost arrow icon to show the gear icon.
- Tap the gear to enter settings.
- In the calibration menu, tap edit.
- Tap the leftmost option showing the four squares in the corners of the vehicle.
- Make sure you can clearly see all four corners of the squares for both squares in each camera.
- If you cant see all the corners, move the square until you can see them. Make sure you move them uniformly.
- Tap [Continue] when all squares are clearly visible.
|
Part 3| Vehicle Dimensions
-
Measure the vehicle length and width in cm.
Enter those values into the appropriate boxes.
If the length greater than 610 centimeters, divide the length and width by 1.5 and enter those values. (Length ÷ 1.5 = New Value) and (Width ÷ 1.5 = New Value) -
Tap [Calibration]
-
You will now see a loading indicator for 20 seconds or less
-
The system will try to find the squares. It may fail if there is not enough contrast or the background is too busy. This is okay you can manually correct it.
-
Tap [OK]
-
Drag each + in the corners of the squares, making sure you follow the pattern:
Upper Left, Upper Right, Lower Left, and Lower Right. -
Repeat for each of the squares on screen to improve calibration.
|
Part 4| Image Adjustments
- You may see some distortion of straight lines along the left and right side of the vehicle.
- Tap [Advance]
- Tap on the side of the vehicle you would like to modify (left shown above)
- Adjust the Vertical Centerpoint until the lines straighten out.
- Do this for left and right sides.
- To straighten the front, tap on the front of the truck and adjust L-gap and R-gap to align
- The same can be done for the rear
- When you have a calibration you are satisfied with, tap [Save Quit]
- Tap [Ok]
- The system has been calibrated
