if you're looking to install your Blacvue cameras by yourself there's a 15
minute easy way to accomplish this in this video we'll show you how to install
your cameras in one of the most effective positions to help you capture
individual faces, body and clothing of someone vandalizing your car or truck
while it's parked
this position is also great for driving. You'll be able to pick up license plates
and faces of drivers from the side, and front position quite easily. The double camera
position does not require you to remove your car or truck's paneling or rubber
siding like you may have seen in other installation videos your BlackVue
camera system package has everything you need for a cleaned wire hidden install.
First, if you've ordered your camera system from us at HomeRestored.com then
your package probably includes an OBD power adapter with a built-in battery
discharge prevention. The old power management device better known as a PMP
had to be wired into your vehicle's fuse box and if it were connected improperly,
you stood a chance of either damaging the cameras or worse your vehicles
operation. The new OBD power connector is a safe and better alternative which
makes your installation faster and easier.
Now, let's get to the installation. First place the main camera behind the rear view
mirror with the power and the video connection facing right. Second, placed a
smaller secondary camera near the middle of the vehicles dashboard facing inward
about four to five inches above the base of the front window make sure to have
the video cable port facing left. Next, connect the L-shaped OBD power cable and
the L-shaped secondary video cable to the main camera. On the other end of the
OBD power cable, plug in the OBD power connector into the OBD data port located
under or within your driver's side steering wheel skirt. Now you are ready
to tuck both cables along the vehicle's top lip. Every vehicle has enough room
in the interior roof lip to be able to tuck these two cables inside. Don't be
discouraged if the cables pop out momentarily. When you get to the window
divider, it will help you pinch the cables in place. It is perfectly safe to
run the cables over the side cover even if it contains an airbag. Run the cable
across the side airbag or cover and down along the rubber seal on the door way.
Again, there is plenty of room for your cables. Remember to tuck the cable from
the secondary camera between the dashboard and the front window.
This doesn't need much effort since there is a perfect crevice for the
cable already there. Place the cable along the side cover frame at the bottom
of the side dash and frame and meet the cables that are coming down from the
main camera. Finish running the cables further down the seam and you'll get to
the point where all the excess cable along with the loop cable from the
secondary camera hangs all the way to the floor of your vehicle.
Nicely roll and tie wrap the cables and carefully tuck the excess cable out of
the way and your vehicles wheel cavity. Each camera package comes with extra
mounting stickers if you want to correct or change the cameras positioning. If you
already used both mounting stickers that came with your package, you can always
purchase more from our site or pick up 6-pound mounting stickers from your
local Lowe's or Home Depot.
