5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your backup camera, refer to the following common solutions:
- No Video Signal: Ensure all connections are secure. Check if your radio/monitor supports the camera's signal type (CVBS). Some cameras default to AHD and require a wire to be cut to switch to CVBS.
- IR Lights Not Visible: The infrared (IR) LED lights are not visible to the human eye. If the camera is functioning and providing night vision, this is normal.
- Fuzzy or Distorted Image: Check all cable connections for looseness or damage. Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions.
5.1. Resolving Signal Compatibility (AHD to CVBS)
If your radio or monitor only supports CVBS signals and the camera is defaulting to AHD, you may need to cut a specific wire to change the signal type. The following video demonstrates this procedure:
