4.1 Camera Placement

The rear view camera is typically mounted at the rear of the vehicle, often near the license plate or on the trunk lid, to provide an unobstructed view. Ensure the camera position allows for a clear 140° wide-angle view of the area behind the vehicle.

3. Connect to DVR: Plug the host connector of the rear view camera cable into the designated rear camera input port on your car DVR (Digital Video Recorder).

5. Operation

Once properly installed and connected to a compatible DVR, the E-ACE Rear View Camera operates automatically:

1. Automatic Activation: When you shift your vehicle into reverse gear, the car DVR will automatically switch its display to show the live feed from the rear view camera. This display typically includes parking lines to assist with maneuvering.
2. Night Vision: The camera features starlight night vision with extra-low illumination (0.1 Lux), providing clear visibility even in low-light conditions.
3. Wide-Angle View: The 140° wide-angle lens helps you observe a broad area behind your vehicle, reducing blind spots and making it easier to avoid obstacles.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your E-ACE Rear View Camera, follow these maintenance guidelines:
