CAN bus signal transmission can cause faint ghosting on DVR recording, monitors, and even in some cases, audio devices. We have designed technologies to prevent this issue in the DVR. It is recommended to follow the chassis manufacturer’s wiring suggestions. These can be found by searching the chassis manufacturer’s up-fitter guidelines. Use the designated grounding post. For a professional installation, a simple black and red wire search under the dashboard may not work.
Optional IR extender Control Panel ABOUT US Verity does not just buy systems off the shelf overseas, put our logo on them, and ship them out. We work with engineers, some at our location in Mishawaka, Indiana to design camera systems to meet the safety needs of several industries. Where some companies just fall for the latest trend and bring untested safety equipment to the market, we perform the needed testing and often help factories make a better product for which we employ the ODM (original design manufacturing) method. We employ global engineers who help us offer the latest technologies. One aspect of every project we do is: “How will we defend it in court?” By doing extensive testing, we know our products are the best. We make our products “Verity Safe™”. 3
4 THINK SAFETY FIRST Verity products are intended to be installed as a supplement, and our observation systems and/or products are not intended to be a substitute for mirrors or other standard motor vehicle equipment which may be required by law. Verity products promote improving vehicle/driver operations. Our products are no substitute for proper driving techniques, observance of traffic laws, and motor vehicle safety regulations. Installation Location Before installing the MDVR, be sure you are not drilling into any objects, such as wires, vents, airbags, etc., when drilling the mounting holes. If not using the optional ADD02CP IR extender, the MDVR face plate must be installed in straight line sight of the remote. DO NOT OPEN ANY COMPONENT. There are no serviceable parts inside any Verity product. Opening the product will break the tamper indicators and void the warranty. If a problem should arise, please contact our technical support at 574-807-6004. For faster resolution, fill out a service ticket found on our website. www.veritysafe.com
5 WARNING Do not pull cables tightly and add tension to them. A drip loop is required where applicable. Do not place cables where they can be crushed in any manner. CAUTION To avoid damage to the electronic circuit, stop using this product while doing welding work to the vehicle and/or trailers. When cleaning monitors, cameras, and DVRs, use a damp, lint-free cloth only. Connect this unit only to other compatible Verity components. Although our products have built-in surge and cross-polarity protection, ensure all cables are connected properly. Improper cable connections may damage the DVR. Cables should not be allowed to touch hot or rotating parts, such as the engine or exhaust. Do not locate the DVR near heat-generating vents or devices. Turn off power to the DVR when connecting the camera(s).
6 COMPONENTS DVR Back Plate Dimensions 170 x 142 x 50mm Including security cover 170 x187 x 50mm Power Cable GND | Ground DC IN+ | Power Wire ACC | Ignition Hot GND | Ground wire needs to go to a chassis ground post or proper grounding location suggested by the truck OEM. DC IN+ | 12v. Power Wire. This wire needs to be connected to constant power. The DVR can be set to run past the ignition being turned off. (See the operation manual to find directions on how to set this option.) ACC wire is an ignition hot wire. This is used to activate recording.
7 Placement The remote is an IR remote and the DVR needs to be in straight line sight of the DVR. If you install the DVR behind a wall or in a cabinet, the IR remote will not work. For these applications, our IR extender will allow you to place the DVR hidden behind a wall and use our ADD02CP. This IR/LED panel has a 16-foot extended cable. This panel provides feedback on the operation of the DVR. Never miss another recording due to issues that may occur over the years.

12 REC03U DVR with Optional GPS The installation of the REC03U has one added step. The GPS antenna needs to be installed. REC03U with GPS
13 Antenna Location The location of antenna is key to successful operations. Although, many say the “magnetic style” GPS antennas, which are the industry standard are waterproof, they are not truly waterproof in many ways. Most are only IP65 rated. FYI: IP65 (waterproof rating) is tested at 4 psi of water pressure. Hard rain may fall at pressures of 5-7 PSI. Drive-through vehicle wash facilities use approx. 1500 psi. It is recommended to use an antenna rated for external use. We do include the magnetic-style antenna as standard with our systems. Most often, the antenna can simply be mounted on the truck’s dashboard, near the base of the windshield. This location allows the antenna clear and unobstructed access to the sky. Most windshield glass should not significantly hinder reception from GPS satellites. However, a small percent of chassis the OEMs are using have glass with coatings which may inhibit the signal.
14 Acceptable GPS Signal When Do I Need an External GPS Antenna? When the windshield angle prevents an upward or outward path to the satellite in the sky, some bullet proof/protective glass may also impede signals.
