DPM Getting Started Guide
Unboxing System
All systems come in very carefully packed boxes. Make sure you keep these boxes temporarily in case of an emergency need for return or repairs.
1. When the box arrives it will have a label on the top. Before opening box follow the unboxing instructions on the label.
If any damage is found externally or internally contact support immediately at 888-621-5558 or support@covertlawenforcement.com.
2. Cut open the box and take the two foam pieces out. Keep these packing materials with the box in case of a return.
You will have an accessort pack and your new system in the box. Set accessory pack aside for now during the system unboxing.
3. Take the DPM out of the box.
4. The DPM is covered in a blue protective wrap. There is a label on this tape that gives an initial setup guide. Cut along the door frame so the knife has room to cut through. Peel back the protective wrap.
5. Acquire the black package in your accessory bag labeled in theh system keys and keyfobs. These are keyed alike for all your DPM Pole Camera systems. The keyfobs are paired individually per system.
6. Unlock the back key latch.
7. Push the top compartment backwards and pull up. (This will separate the components compartment with the shroud)
8. Remove the packing bubbles inside the enclosure.
9. Put the DPM back together and lock the back key latch
Understanding Accessory Components
Here is a list of all the components supplied in your accessory and what they do:
Key Fob Package: This package is in your accessory bag. Opening up the package will reveal two key fobs and two keys. These key fobs should only be used for resetting the system. To learn more about resetting the system go here.
Pole Mount Straps: Used to attach the DPM Pole Camera "pole mount" to the utility pole.
T20 Torx Screw Driver: Use this torx screw for the Axis Camera. (This item is only included in the P5655 camera.)
Pole Mount Bracket. DPM Pole Camera Clevis Pin: Attach this bracket to the Pole Mount Straps then slide the DPM onto this bracket. Lock the bracket to the DPM by putting the clevis pin through both the DPM and the Pole Mount Bracket.
Pole Mount Lag Bolts: Lag bolts can be used to attach the pole mount bracekt to the pole, in case of a more long term deployment.
AC Power Cable: Connect one the wall outlet end to the wall outlet. Connect the three prong CNLINKO end to the DPM to power the device.
Stripped Power Tap Cable: Taps into a powerline with the three open wires and plugs into the DPM with the three pin CNLINKO cable. This cord is only to be used by professionals.
Powering Up The DPM
Powering With AC Power Cable: Plug the CNLINKO three pin cable into the corresponding connection on the DPM. Plug the AC wall outlet connection into the wall outlet to give the system power.
Powering With Stripped Cable:This should only be done by a professional. This cord is used to hard-wire your system into an existing power line on the utility power pole.
Power Through Battery Pack: Plug in one side of the two pin CNLINKO cable into the DPM. Connect the other side to the batter pack. Make sure that battery pack is on. For more information on how to turn on a battery pack go here.

2. Push the top compartment backwards and lift up
3. Flip the compartment upside down and interlock the compartment.
4. Lock the back key latch to keep it from detaching

2. Recordings: Shows all the cameras recordings that are stored on the external SD card
