Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Camera Installation

1. Mount the Camera: The camera is designed for rear mounting. Secure it using the provided bracket and screws. Ensure the camera has a clear, unobstructed view of the rear of your vehicle. The camera features 18 infra-red lights for night vision up to 50ft and a 130° wide-angle lens.
2. Route the Cable: Connect the 4-PIN extension cable to the camera. Carefully route the cable from the camera's location to the vehicle's cabin, ensuring it is secured and protected from moving parts, heat, and sharp edges.
3. Connect to Power (Optional for Reversing Trigger): If you intend for the system to activate only when reversing, connect the green wire from the power cord to your vehicle's reversing light circuit. If you prefer the system to run continuously (e.g., as a rearview mirror), connect the camera to AV1 and disregard the green wire.

2. Attach Mounting Bracket:
   • Suction Cup Mount: For windshield mounting, attach the suction cup mount to a clean, smooth surface.
   • Dashboard Adhesive Mount: For dashboard mounting, use the adhesive pad to secure the bracket.
   • U-shaped Bracket: This bracket can be screwed directly to a flat surface.
3. Secure the Monitor: Attach the 7-inch monitor to the chosen mounting bracket. Adjust the angle for optimal viewing.
4. Connect Power: Connect the monitor's power cord to a 12V-24V power source in your vehicle, such as a cigarette lighter adapter or by hardwiring to the vehicle's electrical system.
5. Connect Camera Cable: Plug the 4-PIN extension cable from the camera into the corresponding input on the monitor (e.g., AV2 for backup camera, AV1 for continuous view).
