The VBOX Video HD2 is designed to disperse heat from internal components through the lid of the box, as such the unit will become hot to the touch when running.
The enclosure is designed to use airflow to cool the unit down, so do ensure that the top of the HD2 is left open to the air.
If VBOX Video HD2 is being used in extreme ambient temperatures (cabin temperature exceeding 50°C), the Harsh Environment Fan Accessory can reduce the temperature of the unit.
IMPORTANT
If the HD2 is being used in conjunction with a driver communication radio system, ensure that there is a minimum separation distance of 20 cm between the radio system and the camera units and cables to avoid any video interference problems.

If two solid green LEDs are shown, the system is ready to record.
If the system is permanently fitted to a vehicle, it should be possible to view the front panel when it is mounted. A brief overview of the LED behaviour is below.

There is a fourth LED on the rear of the system. If the mounting solution only allows the back panel to be visible, this status LED works on a simple ‘traffic light’ style system.
