Connect the Video Signal Wire:
Route the 5.5M HDMI video signal wire from the rear camera to your compatible 70mai S500 or S410 dash cam. Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the rear camera and the main dash cam unit. Conceal the cable neatly to avoid interference with vehicle operation.
4. Operating Instructions
Once installed and connected to a compatible 70mai dash cam, the RC13 camera operates in conjunction with the main unit to provide enhanced rear visibility.
Real-time Reversing View:
When you shift your vehicle into reverse, the connected dash cam will automatically display a real-time view from the RC13 rear camera. This view includes dynamic parking assist lines to help you maneuver safely into parking spaces. These assist lines can often be tailored via the main dash cam's settings to fit various vehicle types and installation positions.
Wide-Angle Coverage:
The RC13 features a 138° wide-angle lens, providing extensive coverage of the road behind you. This wide field of view helps monitor up to 3 lanes of traffic, enhancing situational awareness. The camera also incorporates glare suppression technology to maintain clear image quality even in challenging lighting conditions.
Night Vision:
Equipped with NightShot Function, the RC13 camera delivers clear images even in low-light conditions, ensuring visibility during nighttime reversing or driving.
5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your 70mai RC13 Rear Camera, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
-
Cleaning the Lens:
Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt or smudges, use a mild lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could scratch the lens.
-
Checking Connections:
Periodically inspect the video signal wire connection to ensure it is secure and free from damage. Loose connections can lead to intermittent video signals.
-
Adhesive Check:
If the camera is mounted using adhesive, occasionally check the adhesion to ensure it remains firmly attached to the vehicle. Reapply or reinforce if necessary.
-
Waterproofing:
The camera is IP67 waterproof, meaning it is protected against dust and temporary immersion in water. However, avoid high-pressure water jets directly on the camera, which could compromise the seal over time.
