To connect a third-party camera using the standard Samsara Camera Connector, you will need the following materials:
Before you begin installation of the standard Samsara Camera Connector, complete the following tasks:
-
Verify that your third-party camera equipment is compatible with the standard Samsara Camera Connector. For compatible requirements, see Third-Party Camera Requirements.
-
Connect both USB plugs from the ACC-CM-ANLG to two additional USB ports on the VG54-NA.
-
Connect the included isolator to the yellow RCA pin coming from ACC-CM-ANLG.
-
Securely mount VG54-NA and ACC-CM-ANLG using provided fasteners, zip ties, and adhesive. Installation location and style will vary by vehicle depending on available space.
Note
Secure mounting of the VG is required for accelerometer based harsh event detection to function.
-
If the installation uses an RCA connection, connect isolator directly to third-party camera cable.
-
If the installation uses a GX12 connection or has an in-cab monitor, connect the isolator to the included Y-cable, GX12 connections as pictured below.
-
If installation includes multiple cameras and a multiplexer, connect all cameras to the multiplexer, then connect the isolator to
video outon the multiplexer. -
Verify connectivity between the components and that the Samsara dashboard recognizes the camera.
If after verifying the connections, if the camera reports No Signal, this can indicate an issue with the third-party camera.
-
To complete the Camera Connector Setup, proceed to Enable Standard Camera Connector Functionality.
