Mounting & Electrical Installation for Camera System with
Wireless Remote System
Determine the location for the system on your vehicle or boat . Locate the
down arrow on the base of the camera; this is to face forward and orient the
camera for full rotation . The camera will rotate 190˚ to the left and right . Cen-
ter the mounting plate with the vise screw on the mounting plate to the back .
Mark the hole locations for the three mounting screws and drill a pilot hole
for each with a 1/8 inch bit . Prior to mounting the plate, note the center of the
plate and draw a circle for the wiring hole . Wireless systems will require a
¼” hole to accommodate the power & video wiring .
Fasten the stainless steel mounting plate with the included mounting screws;
3 ea . #10-16x3/4 type AB cross recessed pan head tapping screws . Finish the
installation with silicone sealant in each screw hole before tightening down
the mounting plate . Install the provided grommet in the ¼” hole . Bring the
power and video control cords through the grommet allowing for 1” of slack
under the light . It is suggested that the grommet hole is then sealed with a
marine grade silicone sealant to prevent leakage .
Note: Manufacturer is not liable for any leakage due to installation of the
Helios .
It is recommended that the 12V power wire input be joined to the leads of the
camera using the appropriate automotive or marine grade wire attachments .
Each camera needs to be wired on a single dedicated circuit and the power
be fused at a minimum of 5 amps . It is also recommended that the power wire
be connected to an ignition circuit or a separate on/off toggle between the
camera and power source .
The 25’ BNC Cable includes a BNC to RCA adapter for adaptation to a wide
variety of displays . The BNC cable needs to be attached and locked into the
camera’s BNC jack and then run to the display that is used . *Note: If a display
is included, please see the instructions for mounting and wiring the display .
Display and Camera must be wired to separate power circuits for proper
installation .
Attaching the camera to the mounting plate
To attach the camera to the mounting plate, lift up the back of the gasket
slightly to show the hole for the vise screw . Do not try to completely remove
the gasket or it may tear out of the gasket mounting points . Wet the mounting
surface with a small amount of water or lubricant for easier installation, then
place the camera over the mounting plate by sliding the front of the camera
