TransVu
Introduction
TransVu is a Digital Video Recorder specically designed for transport applications. With a ruggedised
design to withstand the often heavy vibrations generated by vehicles, TransVu is ideal for mobile
surveillance in all types of vehicle – such as taxis, vans, buses, trains and heavy goods vehicles.
Part of the NetVu Connected product range the TransVu is fully network capable and supports the Internet
standard TCP/IP protocol. As the TransVu is a mobile product the unit can be accessed via wireless LAN
or GSM / GPRS / CDPD. Supporting upto eight video inputs, two audio channels, panic alarm handling and
intelligent power handling the TransVu is a powerful transit recorder.
System Documentation
The Installation and Operation of the TransVu are detailed in the manual suite which consists of:
• Quick Start Guide - Initial steps to get the TransVu up an running to basic operation.
• Installation Guide - Full instructions to install the TransVu unit.
• Conguration and Operation Guide - Full conguration documentation for the TransVu.

TransVu
Installation
This section is seperated into Physical Installation (tting the baseplate, shock absorbers etc.) and System
Installation (cable connections, etc.)
Physical Installation
Product Orientation
Although the TransVu can be mounted horizontally or vertically, it is recommended that it should be
mounted horizontally using the supplied mounting kit, with the multipole plug facing the rear of the vehicle.
This ensures the accelerometer gives the correct reading.
It is important that sufcient space be provided for the unit and cable connector.
Installation space required for the TransVu
The TransVu is xed to the vehicle via a mounting plate.
It should be mounted as low as possible within the vehicle, on a secure base free from resonance and
secondary vibrations.
The TransVu is xed to the mounting plate via four shock absorbing xings. This dramatically reduces the
vehicle vibrations and enables the TransVu to operate in harsh shock environments.
Vibration will cause the TransVu to move on the shock mounts. Therefore a reasonable clearance must be
allowed around the unit.
A suggested tment area of 350mm (13fl”) x 380mm (15”) x 140mm (5” ) is recommended.

Care in feeding cables
Ensure the cables feeding the multipole plug are clamped to avoid any vibration being transmitted along
them to the unit. Cable clamp posts are provided on the baseplate. The two clamps (highlighted) must be
used to prevent the cable vibrating loose.

Notes on installation space
Additional space is required around the plug to accomodate the disconnection of the cable from the unit.

TransVu
Mounting the Baseplate
The TransVu baseplate should be secured to the vehicle using appropriate nuts, bolts and shakeproof
washers. The baseplate should be mounted horizontally. Ensure the correct orientation of the TransVu once
it is mounted on the baseplate. The Transvu multipole socket should face the rear of the vehicle, at the top
of the base plate, and the cable clamp should be on the right hand side.
These details cover installation using the Rev B metalwork.
Mounting restriction for correct G-force implementation
If the G force detectors are tted in the TransVu, the baseplate must be correctly orientated within the
vehicle.

Fitting the TransVu to the baseplate
The Transvu multipole socket should face the rear of the vehicle, at the top of the base plate, with the cable
clamp on the right hand side.
Note: The cable clamp is provided to reduce vehicle vibration being transmitted from the cable loom
through to the TransVu. Ensure that the cable loom between the clamp and the multipole socket
does not touch any part of the vehicle.

Connecting vehicle power
TransVu is designed to run on vehicles with a negative earth or negative ground system.
When the unit is running the power input is reflected on the power output pin, being relay contacts switched
under software control.
This allows ancillary equipment such as cameras etc. to be powered down automatically preventing
unnecessary drain on the vehicle battery.

Example wiring - Taxi
This is a simple implementation using two cameras.
Two alarm inputs are wired up, one indicates that the electronic door safety locking is operational and the
other provides a panic button for the driver.
The vehicle ignition sensor will automatically power down the unit shortly after the ignition is switched off.
It also cuts power to the cameras to ensure the vehicle battery is not attened. Recorded images can be
viewed on the TransVu playback station.

TransVu
Example wiring - American Schoolbus
This is a typical schoolbus implementation using four cameras and two microphones. Three cameras and
one microphone are housed in a single dome. The driver camera is in an individual housing. The second
microphone is shown as a single cable type. If the microphone has a powered line amplier, power must be
sourced from the switched power from the Transvu.
Two alarm inputs are wired up, one to give indication that the stop arm is operational and the other to
provide a panic button for the driver.
Vehicle ignition is sensed so the unit will power down shortly after the ignition is switched off.
This will also cut power to the cameras and ancilliary equipment, ensuring the vehicle battery is not
attened.
Speed recognition is via a powered sensor. Recorded images can be viewed on the TransVu playback
station.
