Page 3: Standard Features
Dakota Micro, Inc. Thank you for purchasing the AgCam®. The AgCam® is a durable, reliable surveillance system with the innovative ability to be quickly moved from one application to the next. Training videos are available on the Dakota Micro website at www.dakotamicro.com. 2. STANDARD FEATURES a. Camera Waterproof, shockproof, suitable for nearly any use. Minimum focal distance of 5”. Built‐in, high quality CCD camera with high performance infrared (IR) illuminator modules. IR has effective range of 45’+ in complete darkness. In‐line conditioner and surge suppressor prevents over/under powering of unit, preventing damage. Built‐in CDS light‐source sensor can automatically turn on/off the IR’s by detecting the light intensity of the environment. Our exclusive Photogray camera body lens darkens in bright conditions and becomes completely transparent under low light conditions. This lens is also transparent of infrared light, allowing the LED’s to penetrate even when it is darkened. Standard lens features 92° field of view (3.6mm). Optional lenses available include: 6mm, 12mm & 16mm. (A complete lens guide is available on our website at www.dakotamicro.com. Function plugs on Elite AgCam® versions allow for IR ON/OFF and switching of Forward/Reverse image. Removable/Replaceable camera tail. ... -

User Manual DMAC-QC-9M-7M 3. INSTALLATION & MOUNTING See DM Website for Installation Training Videos a. Camera Installation & Mounting Camera Body *IR Function Plug (Elite Only) *MIR Function Plug (Elite Only) Retaining Screw (x3) Camera Tail Input Camera bracket Fiber Washer (x2) Magnet Magnet Nut b. Function Plugs (Elite Models Only) There are two function plugs on the bottom of each Elite Dakota Micro camera, near the camera tail. They will look like two additional screws at a slight angle recessed into the camera body. The function plugs utilize a polarized magnet to change camera functionality. 1) IR ON/OFF. This function plug requires a magnet to allow for the IR LED’s to function in low light conditions. If you remove the polarized magnet, the IR LED’s will NOT come on. 2) MIR/FOR. This function requires a magnet to activate/deactivate the mirror/forward function of the camera. Elite cameras are shipped from the factory with the MIR magnet installed. Temporary Mounting: For temporary mounting, it is recommended that you use the supplied 65# pull magnet. If using magnetic mount, fasten camera cable with a zip tie or other style fastener. This will act as a “safety wire” in the event your camera is knocked loose for some reason. When selecting a location, make ... -
Page 5: Cable Installation & Mounting
Dakota Micro, Inc. Permanent Mounting: For permanent mounting, it is recommended that you remove the magnet and attach to any solid surface with two (2) screws. After camera is securely mounted, plug power/video input into AgCam® extension power/video cable. Make sure they are securely attached and locked (¼ turn will lock the cables together). Suggestions for Mounting Camera: When determining the location for the camera it is always best to use a solid surface to minimize vibration. Ladders are not good mounting choices due to lack of stability. If you will be using your AgCam® for assisting in visibility for towing, you will want to position the camera so you can see the desired area and a portion of the vehicle/trailer in tow; this will give you some reference to distance. You will also want to use the mirrored setting in the monitor menu or remove the magnet in the MIR function plug on the camera so as to accurately represent left and right. This will give you the effect of looking in a rear view mirror. Camera Warnings NEVER RELY ON YOUR AGCAM®AS A SAFETY FEATURE. It is up to your discretion to keep your road travel and other operations safe. Your AgCam® will provide you with information only based on what it sees. Operation of machinery safety guidelines still apply. The AgCam® is equipped with an array of infrared light emitters which are invisible to the human eye. This feature will aid in low light conditions but has limitations. The effective range of the night vision feature is 1 to 45+ feet and will produce a monochrome image only. Do not attempt to drive machinery using this feature. c. Cable Installation & Mounting There are two (2) lengths of cable with your camera system: One (1) 20’ and one (1) 60’. If you would like to purchase different or additional cable lengths, please contact your dealer where you purchased your AgCam®. Cable Warnings Cable routing is important. Where you choose to run the cables should not interfere with the normal ... -

Trigger Event Operations: Camera selection Event trigger wires are as follows: Camera 1 – Green Camera 2 – Purple Camera 3 – Gray Camera 4 – White Event trigger wires can be attached to any 12v positive event. This will cause the monitor to change to that camera, regardless of the state of the monitor (i.e. ON/OFF or channel selection). The most recent event will be the primary display, so if two video channels (AV1 & AV2) are attached to an event output, the one that happens last will change the monitor to its respective camera view. The wires can be attached to any positive output 10.5v to 16.9v switch or supply to cause the monitor to automatically switch the unit to its respective channel camera.

Page 14: Warnings
User Manual DMAC-QC-9M-7M 7. WARNINGS 1) To avoid electrical shock and maintain optimal functionality, do not open the enclosures. High voltage may be present and there are no user serviceable parts inside. All warranties will be void should any enclosures be tampered with in any way. 2) Do not use any harsh chemical solvents, cleaning agents or corrosive detergent to clean away dirt on the surface of the screen or lens. 3) Our photo‐chromic camera lenses have been made impact‐resistant and have been drop‐ball tested according to Sec. 3.84,21 CRF BUT ARE NOT UNBREAKABLE. Because they have been hardened chemically, they show no stress pattern. Inspect your lenses frequently. Chipped or scratched surfaces will reduce protection. Such lenses should be replaced only by the manufacturer. 4) This camera uses a special coated optic lens with photo chromatic properties; if the lens needs to be replaced we require that it be returned to the factory. 5) Power to cameras is not interrupted by turning off monitor; 12v power source must be terminated when not in use to avoid battery drain. To avoid this problem be sure when hard wiring a unit, use a fused circuit. 6) Do not use your Dakota Micro camera system for anything other than legal surveillance and observation uses. Dakota Micro, Inc. is not liable for any illegal or nefarious usage. Page 14 of 16 Rev: 3/17/14 ... -
