| 4 | Install the SharpZ3 cameras on the vehicle. | Depending on the hardware ordered, systems can support either two or four SharpZ3 cameras. | |
| 5 | Align the SharpZ3 cameras. | You must align your SharpZ3 cameras using the AutoVu Installation Kit so they can read plates accurately. | |
| 6 | Install and configure the in-vehicle computer. | The in-vehicle computer must be powered through the base unit's auxiliary 8A Max relay. | |
