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.
