Video Intelligence Owner’s Manual
April 26, 2018
Product Description
The purpose of Video Intelligence is to provide the customer safety, liability, and litigation support. The
primary camera faces forward of the truck with a 150 degree angle of view in order to capture any safety
or traffic events. The DVR will trigger when an On-Board Event (OER) takes place, recording the period
before and just after the event to provide a clear picture of what happened. The DVR captures this video
and transmits it to the customer portal for review.
Side cameras can also be added to the system, providing a clear view down each side of the cab and
trailer. Video from these cameras will be recorded and broadcast along with the video from the forwardfacing camera.
Forward-Facing System Overview
Forward-Facing Camera
Screw the RAM mount into the threaded hole on the camera top and tighten it with a wrench.
Activate the vehicle’s windshield wipers and note the path across the center of the windshield. The
camera should be placed so that it sits just below the wiper line and as close to the windshield center as
possible.
NOTE: The camera should be no more than 2 inches below the wiper line. If the camera must be
mounted far to one side of the windshield due to the wiper path or obstructions, mount the camera
towards the passenger’s side of the windshield.
Clean the windshield around the intended camera mount area using an alcohol swab and a paper towel
(do NOT use a shop rag). Remove the tape covering from the RAM mount. Align the camera/RAM
assembly for the chosen location; press gently and hold for 10 seconds.
Camera Targeting
Swivel the RAM mount forward so the camera is close to, but not touching, the windshield. Aim the
camera at a point 10 meters in front of the hood center point. Level the camera then tilt it down 5 degrees
to make sure the side mirrors are visible. Tighten the RAM using the lock key from the kit.
Route the camera extension cable from the intended DVR location to the headliner above the camera.
Connect the camera cable to the extension making sure to align the notch and key as shown below.
Slide the sleeve over the connection, and secure the camera cable in the headliner so that it cannot fall
into the windshield area and is safely away from any mounting screws.
Power/Ignition/Ground Cable and Connections
The DVR power, ignition, and ground feeds should be connected to the vehicle per the PeopleNet
recommendations available on the Support Center (www.peoplenet.custhelp.com). If these connections
are paired with a PeopleNet OBC and/or Enhanced Display make sure that the fuses are stepped
appropriately so that the DVR input power is fused at 3 amps, the OBC/PMG at 5 amps, and the
Enhanced Display at 10 amps, with the DVR ignition at 3 amps and the PeopleNet ignition at 5 amps.
Route the power cable to the intended DVR location making sure to avoid potential hazards.
Antenna
Mount the DVR antenna in the cab with a clear view of the sky and away from cab structures and cabling.
The best locations are on the dash or just under the dash plastic. Verify the side labeled “Up” faces the
sky and attach with two-sided tape.
Route the antenna cables to the intended DVR location making sure to avoid potential hazards.
DVR Mount Locations
The DVR should be placed in a location away from moisture and protected from damage.
NOTE: The DVR case is connected to ground: avoid contact with any vehicle wiring, as this could cause
an electrical short.
Sample locations are below.
Kenworth T680
Freightliner Cascadia
DVR Connections and LEDs
Connect the Power, Antenna, and Camera cables to the DVR. Secure the cables to avoid stress on the
connections and bundle any spare cabling away from harm. Attach the DVR to the vehicle with the LEDs
visible. Turn the vehicle ignition ON.

Side Camera Installation Guidelines
The side cameras will replace the vehicle’s existing spot mirrors with poles that combine the camera and
an adjustable mirror. The exact orientation and mounting method are somewhat flexible, but below are
several general principles to guide mounting decisions.
•
The camera and mirror should be as far forward and as far up on the hood
as is practical.
•
The mount should employ existing holes whenever possible. In some
cases this will be all existing holes. Holes that are not used should be
capped, either with original hardware or inserts, to avoid noise and leakage.
•
The mirror position should match the vehicle’s original mirror position as
much as practical.
•
As shown below, wedge gaskets are provided and should be used to level
the pole. The goal is to have the pole arm parallel to the ground.
•
The base should be as close to vertical as possible, allowing the arm to
swivel to the desired position without changing the vertical angle.
Exceptions include cases when the original spot mirror was on a sharp
angle such as an aerodynamic base.
•
The cables should be routed into the cab following the path of existing
vehicle electrical lines, such as headlight wires, whenever possible.
Always route up the driver’s side to avoid the exhaust system. Always be
aware of the path of the hood and other moving parts.
Side Camera Installation
Before drilling, any holes check the inside of hood to make sure there are no obstructions and the
mounting studs will be accessible.
Refer to the Camera Arm Matrix at the end of this document for the appropriate arm and gasket
configuration for your vehicle.
1. Note the vehicle’s spot mirror locations for later targeting of the replacement mirror.
2. Open the hood and remove the vehicle’s spot mirrors.
3. Determine the best mounting position using the guidelines above. In most cases those will
involve using at least one existing hole.
4. Identify whether a wedge gasket will be needed based on the slope of the hood and the guide in
the appendix. The goal is to make the arm base vertical, leaving the arm parallel to the ground.
17
5. Hold the gasket to the hood, level it, and mark the four mounting holes and the center hole for
drilling.
6. Drill the four mounting holes using a 5/16” or 8mm drill bit. Drill the center hole using a 1”
holesaw or step-bit.
7. Insert the camera cable through the gasket and the hood center hole, making sure that the
lettering on the gasket faces away from the cab.
8. Orient the wedge gasket according to the instructions in the Appendix and slide the four mounting
bolts through the gasket and into the hood.
9. On the inside of the hood, slip the backing plate or straps over the bolts then attach the camera
arm with the four locknuts provided, making sure the nuts are securely tightened.
**NOTE there are two sizes of nut in the kit. Verify that you have the correct nuts before tightening**
10. Cover the camera cable with ¼” split-loom tubing for protection, attach it to the hood side with a
cable clamp, and route it to the forward frame-rail making sure to avoid any possible rub areas.
Example 1 - Volvo
18
Example 2 – Kenworth T300
11. Repeat the process on the opposite side of the cab.
12. In a protected space around the forward frame-rail, connect the camera extension cables to each
camera cable, making sure to align the key and notch as shown. Cover the connection points
with electrical tape and cover the extension cables with enough protective loom to reach the
firewall.
19
13. Route the passenger’s side camera cable across to the driver’s side following either the headlight
power lines or the forward frame rail, making sure to avoid moving parts. The cable should be
secured with a clamp or tie at least every 12 inches.
14. Route the cables up the driver’s side frame rail avoiding movable parts, major heat sources, and
any exposure to the wheel well.
20
15. Pass through the firewall using an existing opening if available. If none is available drill a 1” hole
in a safe space, route the cables through, then seal it with a grommet and silicone sealant.
16. Route the cables across the dash to the DVR, then remove the loom from the final 12” of cable,
allowing the cable to flex more easily.
17. Connect the passenger’s side camera to the DVR CH2 position and the driver’s side camera to
the CH4 position.
21
Targeting the Side Cameras
1. Adjust the camera arms as shown below for the initial test.
2. Run the “Configuring DVR” process until you reach the “Test Camera” step.
3. Verify in the snapshot that the “Driver camera” and “Passenger camera” fields show the correct
camera.
4. Adjust the cameras as needed to get a clear view down the trailer, with the only the edge of the
cab visible. The driver compartment should not be visible.
5. Press the “TEST CAMERAS” button after each adjustment to confirm success.
6. Once targeting is complete, use the adjustment nut on the spot mirror to approximate the original
position for the driver, then rotate the mirror so the drip hole is on the bottom.
