HD3S Stop Arm Camera Quick Installation Guide

Installation Kit Contents

1. Choose Camera Location

2. Connect the Camera

TIP: Seal the Camera Mounting Holes

For outdoor installations, if a flat surface is not avail

-

able, carefully seal the mounting holes under the base 

of the camera after installation. Do NOT apply silicone 

or other sealants around the base of the camera.

CAUTION: Cable Compatibility

This camera requires a special Analog High Definition 

(AHD) cable - as indicated by a blue band in front of the 

connectors. A standard cable may appear to work on a 

small analog screen, but the image will be significantly 

degraded during subsequent playback.

1.  Select a flat location to minimize possible moisture 

leakage into the vehicle. Cameras must be installed 

with the cabling running inside the wall panels.

2.  Use the supplied drilling guide template to mark the 

cable (7/8”) and screw (5/32”) holes on the panel.

3.  Use a step-bit to drill the cable hole, and regular 

bits for the screw holes.

Specifications

1.  Connect the camera cable to the 

extension cable through the panel cable 

hole. See Figure 1. Ensure the extension 

cable has a blue band in front of the 

connectors, indicating it is AHD 

 

(Analog High Definition)-compatible.

2.  Connect the extension cable’s 2×3 

Micro-Fit connector into a digital video 

recorder (DVR).

3. Open the Camera

1.  Using the security key supplied with the camera, loosen 

the four captive screws on the housing. See Figure 2.

2.  Lift the housing off of the base.
