Figure 16: Mark the mounting holes and cable entry hole positions
Tip: Multiple installations may be made more efficient and consistent if you
create a template to mark the mounting surface using plexiglass or similar
material. Use the provided mounting bracket template or the rubber base
gasket to create the template.
3.
Cut the clearance hole for the video/power cable connectors (typically 9/16” to
1”) using a drill bit or hole saw as shown in Figure 17.
4. Drill the four mounting holes with an appropriate bit for the metal or fiberglass
vehicle surface.
5. Use appropriate hardware (See Figure 17) to secure camera tightly to the
surface.
• Install stainless steel rivnuts in any holes through fiberglass.
• Use stainless steel self-tapping screws in any holes through metal.
• Screws must be tight enough to compress the rubber gasket.
Note: In some installations, it may be necessary to use a backing plate for
stability.
Tip: Use of stainless steel rivnuts in all holes, even metal when possible, may
provide more leak resistance and consistency. Self-tapping screws should be
sealed with caulk and tightened as much as the rivnut screws.
