Ultra-Wide Low-Profile Camera

The Ultra-Wide Low-Profile Interior Camera [PC-1923] is an analog high-definition device with a 180° horizontal and 90° vertical field of view, an adjustable angle, infrared night vision, and a built-in microphone. 

This camera mounts to the vehicle's interior to capture the driver, passenger, and/or cargo areas. 
 

Mounting

The camera is typically installed on a vehicle's ceiling or headliner, but can be mounted on any surface that provides the desired camera view with either of its compatible mounting brackets: 

• Standard Bracket (included) – features two adjustment screws on the sides of the camera to easily align its captured angle. 
• Flush-Mount Bracket (optional) – allows the camera to mount fully flush to the vehicle's surface. 
  • This requires a  4 3/8 in by 1 3/8 in opening to be drilled into the vehicle panel. 
     

Standard Bracket 

1. Select the mounting location. 
   • Verify that there is sufficient clearance on and behind the selected location for the camera and for its cable to be safely routed into the vehicle body. 
   • If possible, connect the camera to a monitor or a camera view tester to verify that the selected mounting area captures the desired view. 
2. Mark the locations for the camera's mounting and A/V cable holes. 
   • Hold the camera's base to the vehicle body and mark the two (2) mounting holes.
   • Between the two mounting holes, 1.2" from the left mounting hole, mark a center A/V cable hole.
3. Drill the camera's A/V cable hole and mounting notches. 
   • Verify that the camera can be safely mounted at the selected location, if not already done. 
   • Use a 7/8” hole saw to drill the A/V Cable hole in the marked location. 
     1. Briefly hold the camera over the cable hole to verify that the mounting holes align.
   • Use a 3/32" bit to drill the two (2) pilot mounting holes. 
4. Mount the camera. 
   • Run the camera's cable through the drilled hole in the vehicle panel.
   • Mount the camera with the two (2) self-tapping screws.
5. Aim the camera's lens.
   • Loosen the two (2) small screws at the camera's sides. 
   • Tilt the camera to capture its desired angle. 
     1. If possible, connect the camera to a monitor or camera view tester to verify its view.
   • Retighten the camera's screws once the desired view is captured. 
6. Route the camera's cable towards its connection device. 
   • This could include a monitor and/or DVR. 
   • Use A/V Extension cables to extend the camera's connection up to 30 m, and an A/V Splitter Cable to split the signal between multiple devices as needed.
   • Follow the vehicle's OEM wiring and paths whenever possible. 
   • Secure the cable to the vehicle's wiring or body.

Flush-Mount Bracket

1. Select the mounting location. 
   • Verify that there is sufficient clearance on and behind the selected location for the camera to be safely inset into the vehicle panel and its cable to be routed. 
   • If possible, connect the camera to a monitor or a camera view tester to verify that the selected mounting area captures the desired view. 
2. Remove the camera from the standard bracket. 
   • Remove the four (4) screws and the plastic plate from the camera's rear.
   • Remove the camera from its housing, and set the standard housing aside. 
3. Install the camera into the flush-mount bracket. 
   • With the Pro-Vision logo at the bottom of the bracket, place the camera into the bracket with its microphone to the right of the lens.
     • This will make it easier to distinguish the top of the lens. 
   • Aim the camera at the desired angle when mounted. 
     • Align the camera's lens to capture the desired view when installed. 
     • If possible, connect the camera to a monitor or camera view tester and hold it at the selected location.
   • Place the plastic plate removed from the standard housing over the camera and use its four (4) screws to secure it. 
4. Prepare the vehicle panel for the camera's mounting. 
   • Verify that the camera can be safely mounted at the selected location, if not already done. 
   • Tape the provided template to the selected area.
   • Using a 1/8" bit, drill all six (6) holes marked on the template. 
     
   • Remove the template. 
   • With a 1 3/8" hole saw, drill the large central holes aligned with the pilot holes. 
   • Connect the two (2) central holes with shears or a grinding tool, creating an oval for the camera to sit in.  
5. Mount the camera. 
   • Run the camera's A/V cable into the vehicle body. 
   • Insert the camera into the opening in the vehicle panel, aligning the bracket with the four (4) mounting holes. 
   • Mount the camera with its four (4) screws. 
6. Route the camera's cable towards its connection device. 
   • This could include a monitor and/or DVR. 
   • Use A/V Extension cables to extend the camera's connection up to 30 m, and an A/V Splitter Cable to split the signal between multiple devices as needed.
   • Follow the vehicle's OEM wiring and paths whenever possible. 
   • Secure the cable to the vehicle's wiring or body.
