Gator GT17SD Surface Mount Heavy Duty Ball Camera With Loop System
Gator GT17SD Heavy Duty Surface Mount Ball Camera, IP68, Loop System
A heavy duty ball camera for trucks, mining loaders, and industrial vehicles IP68 rated, 120-degree CMOS, 6 infrared LEDs, rotating ball head, loop system for parking gridlines and PAL/NTSC switching, PROLINK II connector.
Product Overview
The Gator GT17SD is a heavy duty surface mount ball camera from the Gator GT range with a rotating ball head for flexible angle adjustment particularly suited for side mounting on trucks and machinery where the camera angle needs to be finely adjusted after installation.
IP68 rated for water and debris protection. Six infrared LEDs provide 0 lux night vision. A loop system during installation allows parking gridlines and PAL/NTSC to be configured.
Please note: The supplier specification lists "Switchable PAL" but the product description references PAL/NTSC switching. Loop colour codes for this camera are not confirmed in the available supplier data contact the F.A.E. team to confirm the loop system configuration before installation.
Features & Benefits
- Rotating ball head — adjustable camera angle post-installation
- IP68 rated — waterproof, mud, and debris resistant
- 120-degree wide-angle CMOS lens — eliminates blind spots
- 6 infrared LEDs — 0 lux night vision
- Loop system for gridlines and PAL/NTSC switching
- Adjustable sunshade included
- PROLINK II connector
- PAL video standard (switchable — confirm with F.A.E.)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of a ball head design?
A ball head allows the camera to be rotated and tilted in multiple axes after mounting — providing a much wider range of angle adjustment than a fixed or U-bracket camera. This is particularly useful for side-mounting on trucks or machinery where the ideal camera angle needs to be dialled in precisely after the bracket is fixed to the vehicle.
What is the difference between the GT17SD and the GT18AHD?
Both are heavy duty ball cameras with rotating heads and loop systems. The GT17SD is IP68 (water submersion), 6 IR LEDs, standard PAL RCA/PROLINK output. The GT18AHD is IP69K (high-pressure wash), 6 IR LEDs, and outputs AHD 720P — requiring an AHD-compatible monitor. The GT17SD is the standard camera option; the GT18AHD is the premium AHD/IP69K option.
Are the loop codes for this camera confirmed?
Loop colour codes for the GT17SD are not explicitly confirmed in the available supplier data. Contact the F.A.E. team to confirm the correct loop cuts for gridlines and PAL/NTSC before installation.
Does this camera have parking gridlines?
Parking gridlines are selectable via the loop system. The default setting and the loop colour code to enable or disable them should be confirmed with the F.A.E. team.
Does this camera need an extension cable?
Yes. The native cable is 400mm — a short pigtail. A PROLINK II extension cable (PLC3, PLC5, PLC10 etc.) is required for virtually all installations.
