Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and safety. It is recommended to have this product installed by a qualified professional to ensure correct wiring and secure mounting.

Mounting the Mirror Monitor

1. Thoroughly clean the designated area on your windshield where the mirror will be mounted.
2. Attach the universal mirror mount to the windshield using the provided adhesive plate. Apply firm pressure and allow sufficient time for the adhesive to cure as per the manufacturer's instructions (typically 24 hours).
3. Once the mount is securely fixed, carefully attach the ACV mirror monitor to the installed mount. Ensure it clicks into place or is tightened securely.

Wiring Connections

Connect the wiring harness according to your vehicle's electrical system and the cameras you intend to use. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with the product for detailed connections.

• Power Connection: Connect the red wire to a switched 12V DC power source and the black wire to a reliable ground point in your vehicle.
• Video Inputs: Connect your standard video sources (e.g., front camera, side cameras) to the designated video input ports (typically RCA connectors).
• AHD Camera Input: If you are using an AHD (Analog High Definition) camera, connect it to the specific AHD input port for optimal image quality.
• Trigger Wires: Connect the trigger wires (e.g., to the reverse light circuit) to enable automatic camera switching when certain vehicle actions occur (e.g., shifting into reverse).

Route all cables carefully to prevent interference with vehicle operation, avoid pinching, and protect them from heat or sharp edges. Secure loose cables with cable ties to maintain a tidy and safe installation.

Operating Instructions

Familiarize yourself with the monitor's controls and functions for effective use.

Powering On/Off

• Manual Operation: Press the power button located on the bottom of the mirror or on the remote control to turn the monitor on or off.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ACV Mirror Car Camera.

• Cleaning the Mirror: Use a soft, lint-free, dry cloth to gently wipe the mirror surface. For more stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the display coating.

• Temperature Management: Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures outside its specified operating range (-20 °C to +75 °C) for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight in a parked vehicle can also generate excessive heat.

  • Ensure all camera connections are properly seated and secure.
  • Verify that the connected cameras are powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Confirm that the correct video input source is selected on the monitor (manual switch or remote control).
• Flickering or Distorted Image:
  • Ensure a stable 12V DC power supply to the monitor and cameras.
  • Check the video system settings (PAL/NTSC) in the monitor's menu to ensure it matches your camera's output.
  • Inspect video cables for damage or loose connections.
• Incorrect or Missing Guide Lines:
  • Access the monitor's OSD menu via the remote control.
