5. Operation
Adjustable Angle:
The camera features a 360° rotation and 45° up/down image angle adjustment. This allows you to fine-tune the viewing angle to compensate for installation location offsets or to achieve your desired field of view. Use the included corner wrench to loosen the screw, adjust the angle, and then tighten the screw to secure it.
Wide Angle View:
The 170° fisheye lens provides a broad perspective, significantly reducing blind spots and enhancing safety during reversing or maneuvering.
Night Vision:
Equipped with Top Starlight Night Vision, the camera delivers clear images even in very low light conditions, with a visible distance greater than 10 meters. It features Automatic Gain Control, Auto White Balance, and Auto Backlight Compensation for optimized night vision performance.
6. Maintenance
Waterproof Design:
The camera is IP69K-rated waterproof, meaning it is highly resistant to dust and high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. This ensures reliable operation in harsh weather conditions and during vehicle washing.
General Care:
- Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, damp cloth to ensure clear image quality. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure all cable connections are secure and free from corrosion.
- Periodically check the mounting hardware for tightness to prevent vibration or displacement.
7. Troubleshooting
No Image on Monitor:
- Check all cable connections between the camera, extension cord, and monitor. Ensure they are securely plugged in.
- Verify that the camera is receiving power (e.g., check the connection to the backup light).
- Confirm that your monitor is set to the correct input source for the camera.
- Ensure your monitor is compatible with AHD signals. This camera requires an AHD-compatible monitor.
Poor Image Quality:
- Clean the camera lens. Dirt, dust, or moisture can obscure the view.
- Check for any obstructions in the camera's field of view.
- Ensure the power supply is stable (DC 12V~24V). Fluctuations can affect image quality.
- If using an AHD camera with a non-AHD monitor, the image may not display correctly or at all.
Image Offset or Angle Deviation:
- Use the included angle adjustment wrench to loosen the camera's screw, adjust the camera's rotation or tilt, and then re-tighten the screw.
8. User Tips
- DVR Compatibility: This camera can be used as a second camera with a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) if your DVR system supports AHD input. Always verify your DVR's specifications for compatibility.
- Cable Management: When installing, ensure cables are routed safely away from moving parts, heat sources, and sharp edges to prevent damage.
- Testing Before Final Mounting: It is recommended to test the camera's functionality and adjust its angle before fully securing all components and reinstalling vehicle panels.
