Operating Instructions

The WeiVision 360° Bird's Eye View Camera System provides various views to assist with driving and parking maneuvers.

Driving Modes:

• Normal Driving: In normal driving conditions, the system displays a bird's eye view of the vehicle's surroundings, along with a front-facing camera view. This helps in checking the immediate surroundings.
• Turn Signal Engagement: When the vehicle's left or right turn indicator is engaged, the display automatically switches to show the corresponding side view along with the bird's eye view, assisting with lane changes and turns.
• Reverse Gear Engagement: When the reverse gear is engaged, the system automatically displays the rear camera view along with the bird's eye view, providing comprehensive visibility for backing up.

Recording Functionality:

The system features 4-channel 1080P recording from all four cameras. When the vehicle ignition is switched ON, the system automatically begins recording. It supports loop recording, typically storing about 4 hours of footage on a 16GB card. An USB interface is available for connecting to a PC to copy data from the disk.

Night Vision:

The system incorporates Super HD Night Vision without requiring additional light. Utilizing a Sony sensor and a full 6-glass lens, it features strong light suppression and noise reduction, enabling clear visibility in low-light conditions, making night appear similar to daytime.

• Control Box: Keep the control box free from dust and moisture. Ensure it is mounted in a location where it is not exposed to extreme temperatures or direct water.
• Software Updates: If available, update the system's firmware as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure the latest features and bug fixes. Contact WeiVision service for update files.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with the WeiVision 360 Degree Bird View System.

• No Image on Monitor:
  • Check all power connections to the control box and monitor.
  • Ensure the monitor is correctly connected to the control box via the LVDS signal cable. Note that this system is only compatible with WeiVision special monitors.
  • Verify that the vehicle ignition is ON.
• Distorted or Incomplete Bird's Eye View:
  • Perform a system calibration using the provided calibration cloths. Ensure the cloths are placed correctly as per the diagram.
  • Check if any camera lenses are dirty or obstructed.
  • Verify that all four cameras are securely connected and functioning. If a camera is disconnected, it may result in missing segments of the view.
• Poor Image Quality (e.g., washed out by sunlight):
  • Ensure the monitor is not exposed to direct, strong sunlight. Consider installing a sunshade for the monitor if glare is an issue.
  • Clean camera lenses to ensure maximum clarity.

• System Not Responding to Remote Control:
  • Check the batteries in the remote control.
  • Ensure the IR receiver is properly connected and not obstructed.
