  3. Connecting the Video Cable:

Operating Instructions

The AWESAFE Rear View Camera is designed for simple, automatic operation:

  1. Automatic Activation:

    When your vehicle is in reverse gear, the camera will automatically power on and transmit video to your connected display. The display will switch to the camera view.

  2. Parking Guidelines:

    The camera provides integrated parking guidelines on the screen to assist you in judging distances and positioning your vehicle while reversing. These lines typically show red for closest, yellow for mid-range, and green for furthest distances.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your camera, follow these simple maintenance tips:

  • Cleaning the Lens: Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or water spots that may obstruct the view. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Checking Connections: Periodically inspect all cable connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion or damage.
  • Waterproof Design: The camera is IP67 waterproof, meaning it is protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. However, avoid high-pressure washing directly on the camera to prevent potential damage over time.
