- Connect the camera's video output (RCA connector) to the video input of your car monitor or display unit using the provided video extension cable.
4.3 Lens Adjustment
The camera features a 360-degree rotatable lens. After mounting, gently rotate the lens to achieve the optimal viewing angle for your application.

5. Operation
5.1 Image Orientation (Positive/Mirror Image)
The camera's default setting is typically a mirror image (suitable for rear view). To switch to a positive image (suitable for front or side view), locate the small white cable loop on the camera's wiring harness. Cut this white cable loop to change the image from mirror to positive. If the cable is already cut, connecting it will revert to a positive image (though typically, cutting is for switching).
5.2 Parking Reference Lines
The camera's default setting may have parking reference lines enabled or disabled. To toggle the parking lines, locate the small green cable loop on the camera's wiring harness. Cut this green cable loop to enable or disable the parking reference lines. If the cable is already cut, connecting it will toggle the state.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, damp cloth to ensure clear image quality. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Connection Check: Periodically inspect all cable connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Mounting Security: Verify that the camera remains firmly attached to its mounting surface.
7. Troubleshooting
- No Image on Monitor:
- Check all power connections to the camera and monitor.
- Ensure the video cable is securely connected to both the camera and the monitor's video input.
- Verify the monitor is set to the correct video input channel.
- Flickering or Distorted Image:
- Check for loose video cable connections.
- Ensure the power supply to the camera is stable (12V).
- Avoid routing video cables near high-voltage wires or sources of electromagnetic interference.
- Incorrect Image Orientation (Mirror/Positive):
- Refer to Section 5.1 and check the status of the white cable loop. Cut or reconnect as needed to achieve the desired image orientation.
- Parking Lines Not Appearing/Disappearing:
- Refer to Section 5.2 and check the status of the green cable loop. Cut or reconnect as needed to toggle the parking lines.
