  The glasses mount has been designed to work with Oakley Flak Jacket® glasses, available through WatchGuard.

The DVR connects to the camera sensor using a cable. Various cables and strain-relief clips are available.

The DVR end of the cable is marked with DVR.

5. Connect the DVR end of the cable to the DVR.

Wear the VISTA XLT DVR and camera sensor where they are most comfortable, convenient, and secure for you. Make sure that the lens is not obstructed and that it is aimed at the horizon.
