4. Installation Guide

4.1 Pre-Installation Check

Before installation, ensure your car monitor is compatible with AHD signals. If your monitor only supports CVBS, you will need to switch the camera's signal format during installation.

4.2 Mounting the Camera

The camera is designed for universal fit and can be mounted on various vehicles such as cars, trucks, caravans, vans, trailers, and campers. Choose a suitable location at the rear of your vehicle that provides a clear, unobstructed view. Secure the camera using its integrated bracket.

4.3 Wiring Connections

1. Connect the camera's power cable to your vehicle's power supply. The red trigger wire should be connected to your reverse light's positive (+) terminal.
2. Connect the video cable from the camera to the video input of your car monitor. Ensure the monitor's reverse-in cable is also connected to the appropriate trigger for automatic display switching when reversing.
3. If your monitor supports an AUX-IN port, you may connect the video cable to this port.

4.4 Adjusting Camera Features via Switcher Cables

The camera comes with three colored wires (Orange, Green, White) that allow you to switch between different features by cutting them. The default settings are AHD signal, Mirror (Rear) view, and Guideline ON.

• Orange Wire: AHD/CVBS Signal Switch
  • Default: AHD signal.
  • To switch to CVBS signal: Cut the orange wire. This is necessary if your monitor does not support AHD.
• Green Wire: Mirror/Front View Switch
  • Default: Mirror view (for rear camera use).
  • To switch to Front view: Cut the green wire.
• White Wire: Guideline ON/OFF Switch
  • Default: Guideline ON (parking assist lines displayed).
  • To switch to Guideline OFF: Cut the white wire.

5. Operation

Once properly installed and configured, the Bileeko AHD 1080P Rear Camera operates automatically:

• When your vehicle is put into reverse gear, the camera will automatically activate and display the rear view on your connected monitor (assuming proper wiring to the reverse light and monitor trigger).
• If you have configured the camera for front view (by cutting the green wire), it will display the front view when activated.
• Parking guidelines will be displayed by default. If you prefer not to have them, cut the white wire during installation.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, damp cloth to ensure a clear view. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the lens.
• Inspection: Periodically check the camera's mounting and cable connections to ensure they are secure and free from damage.
• Environmental Conditions: The camera is designed to operate in a wide temperature range (-40°C to +75°C), but extreme conditions can affect performance.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 No Signal, Black Screen, or No Image

• Signal Format Mismatch: Ensure your camera's signal format (AHD or CVBS) matches your monitor's capabilities. If your monitor cannot handle AHD signals, cut the orange wire to switch the camera to CVBS signal.
• Incorrect Connections: Verify all wiring connections. The red trigger wire must be correctly linked to your vehicle's reverse light, and the monitor's reverse-in cable must be properly connected.
• Monitor Input: If your monitor supports AUX-IN, try connecting the camera to the AUX-IN port.

7.2 Black and White Display

• Incorrect Video Standard: A black and white display often indicates an incorrect video standard (PAL or NTSC) selection.
• Solution: Ensure the correct signal standard is chosen for the camera. The CVBS camera operates on the NTSC standard, while the AHD 1080P camera uses the PAL standard. After adjusting the standard, restart the camera's power.

8. User Tips

• Test Before Final Mounting: It is recommended to test the camera's functionality and desired settings (AHD/CVBS, Mirror/Front, Guidelines) by temporarily connecting it to your monitor before permanently mounting and routing cables.
• Cable Management: When routing cables, ensure they are protected from sharp edges, heat sources, and moving parts to prevent damage. Use cable ties to secure them neatly.
• Monitor Compatibility: Always confirm your monitor's video input capabilities (AHD, CVBS, NTSC, PAL) before installation to avoid compatibility issues.
