4.2. Wiring Connections
Refer to the wiring diagram (Image 3.1) and the following steps:
- Power Connection:
- Connect the red wire (ACC cable) of the power cable to the positive (+) terminal of your car's reverse light.
- Connect the black wire (Ground) to a suitable ground point on the vehicle chassis.
- Video Signal Connection:
- Connect the yellow RCA output terminal of the camera to the video input terminal of your car navigation system or monitor.
- If your monitor has a reverse trigger input, connect the red trigger wire from the video cable to this input. If your monitor does not have a reverse trigger input, this wire can be left unconnected.
- Cable Routing: Route all cables securely, avoiding sharp edges, moving parts, and heat sources. The video cable is approximately 6 meters long. If additional length is required, a backup camera extension cable must be purchased separately. Secure any unused cables to prevent interference.

5. Operating Instructions
The EONON A0119J Backup Camera operates automatically when the vehicle is put into reverse gear, provided it is correctly installed.
5.1. Automatic Activation
When you shift your vehicle into reverse, the camera will automatically power on and transmit video to your connected monitor or car navigation system.
5.2. Guideline Display
The camera features an integrated guideline display on the video feed to assist with parking and judging distance. These guidelines are fixed and cannot be disabled.

5.3. Mirror Image Function
The camera outputs a mirror image by default, which is standard for rear-view applications. Depending on your car navigation system or monitor, it may be possible to switch to a normal (non-mirror) image if desired.
5.4. Wide Angle View
The camera provides a wide-angle view (120° horizontal, 170° wide angle) to minimize blind spots behind the vehicle, helping to prevent collisions with objects or structures.

6. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your EONON A0119J Backup Camera, follow these maintenance guidelines:

- Inspection: Periodically check the camera's mounting and wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from damage.
- Waterproof/Dustproof: The camera is rated IP68 for dust and water resistance, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. However, avoid high-pressure washing directly on the camera.
