Mini Side Camera
Small Wedge Camera With an Infrared Array
- Smaller footprint for vans and light commercials
- Infrared array for night and tunnel work
- Same wedge geometry as the full size side camera
Product Overview
Mini Side Camera at a Glance
A reduced size version of the wedge side camera, carrying a ring of infrared LEDs around the lens for night use. The smaller footprint suits vans and light commercials where a full size wedge housing looks heavy on the panel.
It is specified where a fleet wants side vision on a mixed fleet and needs one camera that looks right on both a panel van and a small rigid.

Use Guide
Installation and Use Guide
A short fitting sequence. The full installation guide is available in the Download Center.
- 01
Confirm the Mounting Position
Hold the mini side camera where it will be fitted and confirm the view or the screen position works before anything is drilled or fixed.
- 02
Check the Cable Reaches
Route the full cable from the unit to the head end and confirm it reaches with slack to spare, away from exhaust heat and moving parts.
- 03
Fix the Unit
Fit the bracket, collar or stand and seal any panel entry point. Leave a drip loop below an exterior entry so water runs away from the hole.
- 04
Connect Power and Video
Make the video and power connections in dry positions, supported so no joint carries the weight of the loom.
- 05
Set and Test
Power up, set the angle or the screen position from the driver's seat, and test again after dark and with the vehicle wet.
