1 Introduction
1.1 Welcome to Your New SV12
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Gatekeeper Systems SV12.
The 360° Surround Vision Camera System provides real-time and surround view of the vehicle for blindspot detection. With 4 channels 1080P wide-angle cameras and video processor, a high resolution panoramic real-time stitching scene is available on the display monitor. The display monitor is off when the vehicle is moving forward. As the vehicle is reversing or making side turns, the display monitor turns on and provides a split-screen display of a 360° stitching image and a rear, left, or right view. The 360° Surround Vision Camera System is easy to install and calibration is customizable to meet specific vehicle requirements.
To playback the recorded video or search for any sensor alarm triggers, the SV12 utilizes Gatekeeper’s custom video viewing software, “G4 Viewer Plus”. G4 Viewer Plus is an easy to use application that allows users to quickly find the video of interest and save as a clip in MP4 format. G4 Viewer Plus is available as a free download from Gatekeeper System website (www.gatekeeper-systems.com).

Installation Requirements The device has an operating temperature range of -22°F to +155°F (-30°C to +70°C). Please ensure that the device is mounted in an area in which acceptable temperature ranges are experienced.
As part of installation best practices, it is recommended to mount the device in the vehicle cabin area where there is environmental control (i.e. heating and/or air-conditioning). This will extend the device operating life by not exposing it unnecessarily to adverse environmental conditions. Please take a moment to read and understand the following important installation conditions to ensure the Customer Warranty will not be voided.

SV12 User Manual & Install Guide

DO NOT remove any enclosures/covers associated with the device as this will void the warranty. Remove the In-Line Power fuse prior to jump-starting the vehicle. Select a solid ground connection for the device. DO NOT use any third-party accessories, unless approved by Gatekeeper Systems. The device is designed for interior use only. Do not install in areas that are exposed to excessive
moisture. Mount the device in a location that has good airflow and is not subject to excessive heat/cold
variations. Ensure that the device is mounted where it is not easily accessible by non-authorized personnel. Ensure that ALL provided Split Loom are used around exposed cables. Grommets are to be used
as directed by the install sheet. Failure to use provided Split Loom and Grommets will void the
warranty. Gatekeeper Systems provides Tek Screws with which to mount the SV12 ­ these have been
tested and are approved for mounting. DO NOT plug in the cable to the processor until the wires have been connected

Connections
Plug the CAB000469 cable on the back of the device. The sensors on CAB000469 cable will connect to CAB000459.
CAB000470 cable is to connect the cameras and the monitor. On the other end of the cable, you have four standard connectors to connect the four wide angle cameras (included in the package) and the D1 or AHD port to connect to the monitor, DVR, or the mirror display.

GND

(A) (Black)

Connect to the negative terminal of the battery, -12V. Typically, grounds are established in the fuse panel, and installers would need to connect there.

IGNITION

(B) (Yellow)

Connect to the vehicle ignition, +12V, the signal required to activate the device. Ensure that the provided 3 AMP fuse is used. Ignition is obtained from the “cold” side of the solenoid.

POSITIVE

(C) (Red)

CAB000470

Connect to the positive terminal of the battery, +12v. Ensure that the provided 15 AMP inline fuse is used. +12V is obtained from the “hot” side of the solenoid, or the cables that connect directly to the battery from the fuse panel

IR Signal Receiver Mounting the cameras

To receive the signals from IR remote Controller

Make sure that the cameras are mounted perpendicular to the ground. Don’t mount the camera on the curve. Make sure to mount the cameras at the same height on the vehicle. All cables running through holes in sheet metal (ceiling, bulkhead, etc.) must be protected
with grommets.

3.3 Calibration
3.3.1 Board Sheet

1. We need 4 marking mats for the calibration. It is recommended to use a 100 x 100 cm mats.
2. Lay marking mats parallelly around the vehicle and make sure you can see the whole board sheet through the camera. Lay them as close as possible to the vehicle. Place the “A” marked corner closer to the vehicle. (Each camera must be able to fully see two marking mats clearly)

3. The calibration mats may need to be moved so that the mirrors do not block the view of the calibration mats. (Each marking mat must be fully visible to the camera, glare from sunlight on one or more of the mats can cause the camera to fail to properly see the mat). The pattern on the marking mat must be fully visible to the camera.
4. When calibrating the vehicle, it is recommended to have at least 10 feet of clearance around the outside of the vehicle. This is to permit the adjustment of calibration marking mats if required.
5. When calibration is taking place, take into account that different bus types place exterior equipment in different places (E.G., mirrors), the stairwell door open can also pose an obstruction hazard so that the camera will not have a clear line of site to one of the marking mats.
6. Calibrating outdoors, marking mats may be obscured by bright sunlight or dark shadows over one or more of the mats. Reposition the mats or move vehicle to another location.

4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Maintenance Whilst the SV12 is a dependable and robust piece of equipment, it is still a complex electronic device and as such, will require maintenance occasionally. To ensure optimal performance, Gatekeeper Systems strongly recommends that a proper Preventive Maintenance Schedule be set up and adhered to.

Besides that, it is recommended that the following seven basic maintenance steps be performed at least twice a year:

No.

Maintenance Item

Check ()

1

Check that there are no loose mounting screws and that the SV12 is still

securely mounted.

2

Wipe down the SV12 and cameras using a clean microfiber cloth.

3

Check cables on the back of the SV12 to ensure they have not vibrated loose.

Make sure that the cables do not show signs of wear, cracks, etc. If so, contact

your Gatekeeper Systems sales representative to arrange for replacements.

4

Check that the cameras are still positioned properly by playing back the

recorded video.

5

Check the system clock to ensure the proper date and time is shown. Be sure

to check that daylight savings time is set properly and the system time is not

out by an hour.

6

Verify that the settings for the SV12 and the cameras are still set properly.

7

The DVR should provide the time / date when recording and OSD. These

settings should be turned off so it should be the same as the rest of the

cameras on the DVR.
