After the SharpZ3 camera is installed on the patrol vehicle, you can connect the camera cable.

What you should know

  • The camera cable uses an M12 X-coded connector.
  • No tools are required when connecting the camera cable.

Procedure

  1. Remove the plastic protector cap from the camera.
  2. Apply a small amount of dielectric compound (included) on the cable connector threads.
    IMPORTANT: Do not let the dielectric compound come in contact with the inside of the cable connector.
  3. Align the notch on the cable connector with the notch on the camera port.
  4. Connect the cable to the camera and tighten by hand until you feel resistance, then tighten an additional ¼ turn by hand.
    As you turn the connector ring clockwise, jiggle the connector up and down to make sure that the cable connection is tight enough.
    WARNING:
    • Do not overtighten the connector.
    • Only tighten the front of the connector. Tightening the back of the connector will break the camera.
