Theory of Operations  
1
THEORY OF OPERATIONS  
BusSecureÒ is an industry-specific security camera system developed to help solve problems  
experienced by fleet operators. It is a digital video recording system that can support up to four cameras  
in a mobile environment and store captured images in a vehicle-mounted digital video recorder (DVR).  
Images can then be viewed and examined later.  
1.1 DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDING  
The central component of the BusSecure system is a high-quality DVR, which records images from up to  
four cameras (monochrome or color, NTSC or PAL) with single-channel audio and information such as  
the time, date, and vehicle number. Image storage capacity can be adjusted by recording speed, selected  
resolution, and drive size.  
The DVR begins capturing images as soon as the vehicle’s engine is started and continues to record as  
long as the vehicle is running. When the available storage capacity is full, the DVR will automatically  
purge the oldest image data to make room for new image data. Tagged images (images recorded  
because of alarm activation) can be protected from being overwritten for a user-designated period of time  
(the default setting is 30 days) or can be protected from being over written at all.  
1.2 VIEWING AND RETRIEVING IMAGES  
The captured digital images are stored as monochrome or color files, and are taken from the DVR and  
downloaded to a computer with the BusSecure WaveReaderTM software. The DVR connects through an  
Ethernet connection to a standard desktop PC or Laptop installed with a Windows 98/2000/NT/XP  
operating system. When the DVR is connected to a PC or Laptop with the WaveReader software, images  
can be viewed and transferred to long-term storage media such as DAT tapes, floppy disks, or recordable  
CDs.

2.2 DETERMINING A SYSTEM LAYOUT  
Figure 2 is an example camera layout for a bus application.  
Note: For installation of these cameras, see their respective manuals.  
Note: Camera layout and fields of view will vary from vehicle to vehicle, and each customer will determine camera names or  
descriptions. Camera types, fields of view, and cable lengths will be determined by the customer-specific system layout.  
The Front Door camera is located at the front of the bus over the driver’s head, looking at the front  
passenger entry.  
The Forward Facing camera is located in the front of the bus, looking in front of the bus.  
The Front to Rear camera is located in the front of the bus, looking down the center aisle to the rear of the bus.

2.3 RUNNING CAMERA CABLES  
CAUTION  
When installing cables, follow these guidelines:  
Avoid excessive lengths of cable at the control and device end. Excess cable should be pulled back to a  
duct area where it can be folded and secured. Leave a service loop as directed for specific devices.  
Cables should not come into contact with bare metal edges, light ballasts, or magnetic speaker coils. If  
ballasts and speaker coils cannot be avoided, cross them perpendicularly.  
Cables that are secured with cable-ties should not be tightened to the extent that the cable is  
compressed or damaged. The cables should not be crimped, crushed, or severely bent.  
When passing cables through tapping plates or metal side walls of the vehicle, insert grommets in the  
holes to protect the cable, if possible This may not be feasible in a retrofit situation. If it is not feasible,  
make sure that the protective outer CL2 jacket is maintained when passing cable through hole.  
When pulling cable through the conduit, do not jerk or over-pull the cables. These actions will stretch  
and damage the cable. Attach a pull-line to the cable jacket, not to the connectors.  
1) Route cables from each camera location to the DVR location as determined by your customer-  
specific system layout. Figure 3 shows an example system layout.  
2) If cables must be pulled through vehicle walls with limited access or conduit, attach pull lines to the  
cables jackets, and gently pull cables through the appropriate routing paths.  
3) After reaching camera locations, leave enough cable for a 6-inch service loop at each location.  
4) Pull any excess cable back into the duct area where it can be folded and secured.

2.4 INSTALLING CAMERA ASSEMBLIES  
The BusSecure system will support up to four cameras (color and/or monochrome). Cameras supported  
by the BusSecure system can provide a 1.0 V pk-pk composite analog video signal, either NTSC or PAL,  
at 75 ohm (CCTV standard).  
2.4.1 INSTALLING SURFACE-MOUNT CAMERA ASSEMBLIES  
Surface-mount camera housings are typically mounted to the ceiling, but can be mounted to any flat  
vehicle surface.  
Note: In some installations, it is necessary to use a metal tapping plate behind the mounting surface. If a tapping plate is used,  
prepare it in the same way as the mounting surface (i.e., drill a cable entry hole and mounting holes in the appropriate locations).  
1) Use the template in Appendix A to mark the location of the  
cable-entry hole and two mounting holes. See Figure 4.  
2) Using a 3/16-inch (5 mm) (drill bit, drill the two mounting  
holes.  
3) Using a 1-inch (25.4 mm) drill bit, drill the cable entry hole.  
4) Install a 3/4-inch (20 mm) (interior diameter) grommet on  
the cable entry hole, or where feasible.  
5) Connect the video and power cables to the camera,  
and feed the excess cable into the vehicle’s duct area.  
6) Mount the camera and mounting plate to the vehicle  
surface (and tapping plate, if used). See Figure 5.  
Cable entry hole  
7) Refer to section 2.4.3 to align the camera’s field of  
view to the appropriate angle.

2.4.2 INSTALLING FLUSH-MOUNT CAMERA ASSEMBLIES  
There are two types of flush-mount cameras—square and angled. Flush-mount camera assemblies are  
mounted flush with the side panels of the vehicle.  
Note: The square bezel that holds the glass camera cover has countersunk holes in the back side that cover the two housing  
screws. The housing and bezel screws are separate to allow access to the camera for focusing and adjusting while the housing is  
held firmly in place.  
1) Verify that there is at least 6 inches (153 mm) of clearance behind the mounting location.  
2) Cut a 3.4- by 3.4-inch (81 mm) hole in the appropriate location on the mounting surface.  
3) Using the housing as a template, mark the location of the mounting holes.  
4) Using a 3/16-inch (5 mm) drill bit, drill the mounting holes.  
5) Connect the video and power cables to the camera assembly.  
6) Mount the camera assembly to the vehicle surface using two fasteners screwed into panel nuts.  
See Figure 7 or 8 (depending on the type of camera assembly being installed).

OPTIONAL STATUS LIGHTS:  
The status lights will alert you to the status of the DVR. DVR status lights should not be confused with  
DVR LEDs. The LEDs are located on the front of the removable DVR unit. The term status lights is used  
to refer to any lights or LEDs connected to the two outputs from the DVR, such as the BusSecure Panic  
Button. Status lights can be mounted anywhere depending upon the installation and are optional devices.  
Note: Some properties customize the DVR status outputs and use another device (such as an IO or PLC) to control the lights.  
Output 1 corresponds to Check System and Output 2 corresponds to Normal.  
Output 2: the DVR is running and capturing images.  
Output 1 and 2: the DVR is running and capturing images with an exception (e.g., loss of signal  
from a camera). Check the Recorder Log of the DVR to investigate further.  
Output 1: the DVR has encountered an error and is not capturing images.  
No lights: the DVR is not running.

TroubleShooting  
BusSecure User Manual  
REMOVABLE DVR: LEDS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT  
: Processor is writing to the hard drive (flashing  
green).  
: 12-V power supply present (solid green).  
Figure 32. Front Panel LEDs  
BUSSECURE UNIT DOES NOT START UP WITH VEHICLE IGNITION  
To test input voltage: remove the 4-pin Molex connector from the connection box of the DVR. Verify that  
when the ignition is off, the only voltage present is 12 VDC continuous (pin #1).  
Verify that when the engine is started, there is 12 VDC continuous (pin 1) and 12 VDC vehicle running  
voltages are present (pin 4). The DVR will not start without both power sources.  
Visually verify that the pins of the 4-pin Molex connector are properly crimped and inserted in the  
connector.  
BUSSECURE UNIT STARTS UP BUT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE CAPTURING IMAGES  
LED LIGHTS  
AND  
ON THE FRONT OF THE DVR ARE NOT ALTERNATELY FLASHING  
1) The DVR will not capture images if the key lock of the unit is open or unlocked. Close and lock the  
door, then turn off the vehicle. After the vehicle has shut down, restart the engine.  
2) Shortly after the DVR restarts, image capture can be verified by the green status light (or  
combination of green and red status lights).  
BUSSECURE OPERATING NORMALLY BUT STATUS LIGHTS ARE NOT ILLUMINATING  
All status lights will be turned off after the DVR has shutdown completely.  
The status lights are supplied with 12 VDC continuous power from the vehicle. Verity that continuous  
voltage is present at the status light.  
The ground for the status lights is supplied by the DVR connection box. To check the ground output with  
a voltage meter, perform the following:  
1) Place the positive meter probe onto an unused 12 VDC DVR output on the P1 or P2 terminal block  
(see Figure 21).  
2) Place the negative meter probe into terminal 13 of the P2 terminal block.

BusSecure User Manual  
Troubleshooting  
3) Terminal 13 of the P2 terminal block is the normal operation output. Voltage should be observable  
on the meter when the BusSecure is recording normally.  
Note: Voltage may vary from +5 VDC to +12 VDC, depending on the type of status indicator installed.  
4) If voltage is not present, remove any wires that are connected to terminal 13 and repeat steps 1  
through 4.  
5) Repeat steps 1 through 5 for terminal 15 of the P2 terminal block. On terminal 15, voltage will only  
be present under a fault condition and at startup.  
6) If the vehicle power and the DVR’s output of ground are both present at the light, but the light is not  
illuminating, it may be necessary to troubleshoot the vehicle wiring or replace the status light.  
LOSS OF VIDEO (IN CAPTURED IMAGES)  
CHECK FOR VIDEO AT THE BUSSECURE CONNECTION BOX AND THE CAMERA  
1) If there is no video displayed, verify on the two-pin Molex camera power connector that 12 VDC is  
present.  
2) Verify that the power connection on the camera is intact.  
3) Verify that the power connection on the P1 terminal strip is correct.  
4) Check the integrity of the coaxial cable and the BNC connectors.  
5) Ensure that the BNC connectors at the DVR and camera have not been damaged or pulled apart.  
CHECK THE INTEGRITY OF THE COAXIAL CABLE  
1) Disconnect the coaxial cable from the camera and DVR connection box.  
2) Meter the coaxial cable by placing a jumper from the center conductor (video) of the BNC to the  
outer part of the BNC (ground).  
3) Use a meter on the other end of the coaxial cable to check for resistance by placing one probe on  
the center conductor and the other probe on the outer part of the BNC.  
4) Remove the jumper and meter one end of the disconnected coaxial cable. There should be no  
resistance.
