Installation overview
The Mobileview 3012 Series DVR is designed specifically for installation on
public transit vehicles. This logistically assumes that certain mounting and wiring
limitations common to that environment exist. The installation instructions
provided in this chapter are tailored to that expectation.

Locating the DVR
A mobile DVR is normally mounted within the vehicle’s electronics enclosure.
Such enclosures vary in size and location, depending on the vehicle make and
model. In general, the electronics enclosure provides adequate space for the
DVR. For most vehicles, this is located behind the driver, and is typically lockable
and climate-controlled. When deciding where to place the DVR, ensure that the
space adequately protects against liquid and foreign material intrusion, and
provides sufficient ventilation to maintain a 0 to 55°C operating temperature
range.
Mounting the DVR
The Mobileview 3012 Series DVR is designed to resist shock and vibration forces
commonly observed on a transit vehicle. Resistance to specified levels is only
obtained when the DVR is secured to a stationary (with respect to the vehicle),
vibration-resistant, and horizontal surface, as shown in Figure 26 on page 30.
