1. DVR AND CAMERA PLACEMENT 

 

DVR  

The first step is to determine the most appropriate location for the DVR and cameras. Mounting locations will vary 
depending on the bus style, body manufacturer and bus year. Mounting orientation can be horizontal, vertical, or at 
angles for spatial consideration. Mount the DVR through the affixed mounting base and ensure there is sufficient 
space in front and around the DVR for ventilation, free movement on the mounting plate and for easy removal of the 
hard drive—approximately 7 inches. Recommended installation locations include: inside the front bulkhead, behind 
the driver’s mirror or other locations where moisture and possible tampering will be at a minimum. 
 

CAMERAS 

When mounting the front camera, ensure the camera is centered on the ceiling of the bus, nearest to the front 
bulkhead—or nearest to the ceiling if mounted on the bulkhead—as is convenient to avoid being a headroom hazard 
to occupants. Avoid installing cameras to sections of the ceiling that are exposed to, or are leaking, water.
