- Page 2 Stop Arm Cameras Installation Guide One of the most important issues when installing a SP-210 system is the placement of the cameras and the subsequent aiming. The SP-210 should be mounted to the side of a bus and aimed as per the diagrams below.
- Page 3 Once the position is determined then a vehicle should be parked in the target position while the camera is being aimed. See Figure 3. Place masking tape on the ground 22 feet back from the location of the SP-210 and 6 feet out ...

- Page 5 Before drilling any holes in the bus it is strongly recommended that the cameras be held against the side of the bus and aimed. By connecting a monitor to the “video out” connector of the Gatekeeper Systems N404 DVR a live image can be viewed. The positioning of the SP-210 camera is critical. ...
- Page 6 The SP-210 has 2 knobs at the bottom to zoom and focus the camera. Loosen the two protruding screws on the SP-210, one screw adjusts the zoom level and the other adjusts the focus. Note: these two adjustments interact with each other so the focus must to be reset when zoom level is changed.
- Page 7 (back to front and front to back). Locating and aiming a second, front facing SP-210 is very similar to aiming the rear facing SP- The front facing SP210 should be located behind the stop arm so that it has a clear view of the target vehicle when the stop arm is deployed and the target vehicle is 22 feet and 6 feet away from the SP-210 camera.
- Page 8 Therefore mount the SP-100 facing the rear of the Bus. The orientation of the image can be changed in the SP-210. This is required whether the camera is aimed forwards or backwards. The camera cylinder (inside the SP-210) has a collar secured around the camera.
- Page 9 For the last two passes the vehicle should be driven so that it hugs the shoulder of the adjacent lane. Review the video and then fine tune the aiming of the SP-210 and SP-100. In most cases the SP-100 will not have to adjusted however in Gatekeepers Systems experience the SP-210 usually needs to be fine tuned (with respect to aiming) to capture the license plates of the passing vehicle.
