Unpack Everything

Make sure you have everything you need before you begin the installation:

2

Install the HTR4 Recorder

1.

Choose a location and mounting option that provides convenient access, is not subject to 
high vibration or heat, and cannot be interfered with by unauthorized personnel.

2.

Attach the U-shaped bracket to the pre-drilled mounting surface using the sheet metal 
screws. Secure the recorder to the bracket with the machine screws (hardware included).

3.

Connect the 24-pin Interface connector of the wiring harness to the recorder. Wire the 
triggers and alarms to the vehicle electrical system. Connect the power cables to the 
vehicle battery. Connect the GPS cabling to the HTR4GPS module, if installed.  

4.

Install up to four cameras. The primary camera is typically installed at the front interior of the 
vehicle looking towards the back. Other cameras might be installed on the ceiling halfway 
down the aisle and on the bulkhead looking towards the driver and/or front door. For more 
information, refer to the 

Installation Guide

 that came with your camera.

5.

Connect the camera(s) to the power, audio and video ports on the recorder’s rear panel. 

6.

If you are not using the HTENCLHTR security enclosure, attach the optional front lid and 
rear cable cover. Slide the front lid into its two slots at a 45° angle. Leave a 1/2 inch 
clearance between the cable cover and the rear chassis.

7.

Install the BusView software on a PC or laptop that you will use to connect to the HTR4 
Recorder. You must be logged into a Microsoft® Windows® 2000 (Service Pack 4), XP® 
(Professional and Home Edition Service Pack 2), or Windows Vista (Home Premium and 
Business editions) operating system with administrator privileges to install the software. 

a.

Close all running Windows applications. 

b.

Ensure that all other users are logged off.

c.

Remove any existing BusView applications.

d.

Insert the CD-ROM disc in the CD drive and then follow the Installation Wizard.

8.

With Windows running, connect your PC or laptop to the COMPUTER port on the front of 
the recorder or on the dash panel unit (HTRDP) using a CAT5 Ethernet crossover cable.
