5. Setup and Installation
The E-ACE rear view camera features a snap-in design for relatively easy installation. However, due to the electrical connections involved, professional installation is strongly recommended.
Installation Steps:
- Camera Placement: Mount the rear view camera in a suitable position at the back of your vehicle, typically near the license plate or integrated into the vehicle's existing structure.
- Connect to Reverse Light: Locate your car's reverse lamp wiring. Connect the red cable wire of the rear camera to the positive pole (+) of your car's reverse lamp. This connection enables the automatic switching function when reverse gear is engaged.
- Connect to DVR: Plug the camera's 2.5mm 4-pin connector into the corresponding input port on your E-ACE Car DVR.
- Power the DVR: Ensure your car DVR is powered, typically by plugging its car charger into the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
- Test Functionality: With the DVR powered on, engage reverse gear in your vehicle. The DVR should automatically switch to display the rear camera image with parking lines.
Warning: In strict accordance with the instructions to install, prevent the recorder burn. Recommended professional master installation. This method is for reference only and may vary based on vehicle model.

- Parking Lines: The camera feed will include dynamic parking lines (if supported by your DVR) to assist you in judging distances and maneuvering into parking spaces.

7. Maintenance
- Lens Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, damp cloth to ensure a clear and unobstructed view. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the lens.
- Connection Check: Periodically inspect all cable connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion.
- Waterproof Care: While the camera is IP68 waterproof, avoid directing high-pressure water jets directly at the camera during car washes to prolong its lifespan.
IP68 Waterproof rating ensures durability against water and dust.
8. Troubleshooting
- No Image on DVR:
- Ensure the camera's 4-pin connector is securely plugged into the DVR.
- Verify that the DVR itself is powered on and functioning correctly.
- Check the red cable connection to the car's reverse light for proper contact and polarity.
- Confirm compatibility: This camera is designed for E-ACE DVRs. If using a different brand, compatibility issues may arise due to varying image sensors.
- Poor Image Quality:
- Clean the camera lens for any dirt, dust, or water spots.
- Ensure the cable connections are tight and free from damage.
- Verify that your DVR supports 1080P resolution for optimal display.
- Parking Lines Not Appearing:
- Confirm that the red cable from the camera is correctly connected to the positive (+) terminal of your car's reverse lamp. This signal triggers the parking line display.
- Check your DVR settings; some DVRs may have an option to enable/disable parking lines.
