- Connect the camera's ground wire (black wire) to a suitable chassis ground point.
- Connect the yellow RCA video cable from the camera to the "CAM/Video IN" or "Reverse/Back" input on your car's display unit or monitor.
- Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent short circuits.

Operating Instructions

The ANNE Car Rear View Camera operates automatically when the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear, provided it is correctly wired to the reverse light circuit.

Automatic Activation: When you engage reverse gear, the camera will automatically power on and transmit video to your connected display unit.
Display View: The display will show a live, wide-angle view of the area directly behind your vehicle.
Parking Guidelines: Some display units may overlay dynamic or static parking guidelines on the camera feed. Refer to your display unit's manual for details on these features.
Night Vision: The camera features CCD night vision for improved visibility in low-light conditions.

Important Safety Note:

The rear view camera is an aid for safe reversing and parking. It is not a substitute for direct observation. Always check your surroundings visually and use your mirrors before and during reversing maneuvers.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ANNE Car Rear View Camera, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

Lens Cleaning: 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.
Connection Check: Periodically inspect the wiring connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or looseness. Ensure all connections remain secure and waterproof.
Avoid High-Pressure Washing: While the camera is waterproof (IP66), avoid directing high-pressure water jets directly at the camera lens or housing during car washes, as this could potentially damage the seal.
Temperature Extremes: The camera is designed to withstand typical automotive temperature ranges. However, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures outside normal operating conditions may affect performance.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ANNE Car Rear View Camera, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No image on display when in reverse.	Loose or incorrect power connection. Loose or incorrect video cable connection. Blown fuse in vehicle's reverse light circuit. Display unit not set to correct video input. Faulty camera or cable.	Check all power and ground connections. Ensure the camera is receiving 12V DC. Verify the RCA video cable is securely connected to both the camera and the display unit's video input. Check the vehicle's fuse box for any blown fuses related to the reverse lights. Ensure your display unit is switched to the correct video input channel (e.g., AV1, Camera, etc.). If all connections are correct, the camera or cable may be faulty and require replacement.
Image is blurry or distorted.	Dirty camera lens. Loose video connection. Electrical interference.	Clean the camera lens with a soft, damp cloth. Check the RCA video cable connections for looseness. Ensure video cables are routed away from high-current wires or ignition components that could cause interference.
Image flickers or cuts out intermittently.	Unstable power supply. Loose or damaged wiring.	Verify the power connection to the reverse light is stable. Inspect all cables for damage or kinks. Re-secure any loose connections.
