Camera Installation

Mount the camera securely at the rear of your vehicle, ensuring a clear, unobstructed view. The camera's robust design and IP69K rating allow for external mounting in various weather conditions.

Wiring Diagram and Connections

The system uses a 4-PIN aviation connector cable for a secure and waterproof connection, transmitting both power and video signals. Follow the diagram carefully for correct wiring:

Connect the camera to the 4-PIN extension cable.
Connect the extension cable to the monitor's input.
Connect the monitor's power cord to a 12V/24V power source in your vehicle.
For automatic activation when reversing, connect the green wire from the monitor's power harness to the vehicle's reversing light circuit.
If you prefer the system to run continuously (not just when reversing), connect the camera to AV1 input and disregard the green reversing wire connection.
