Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Podofo Wireless Rear View Camera Kit, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No image on the monitor / Blue screen	Loose power connection to monitor or camera. Camera or monitor not receiving power. Wireless signal interference. Camera malfunction.	Check all power cables and connections to ensure they are secure. Verify that the vehicle's power outlet (for monitor) or reverse light circuit (for camera) is active. Ensure antennas are properly connected and unobstructed. Restart the system by disconnecting and reconnecting power. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Camera not turning on (LED light is red)	Insufficient light for the IR sensors.	This is normal for an IR camera. The LED light turns red when ambient light is low or in darkness to activate infrared vision. The camera is functioning as intended.
Flickering or distorted image	Weak wireless signal. Electromagnetic interference from other devices. Loose antenna connection.	Ensure the camera and monitor are within effective range. Check for strong sources of electromagnetic interference near the camera or monitor. Verify antenna connections are tight.
Remote control not working	Dead battery in remote. Obstruction between remote and monitor.	Replace the remote control battery. Ensure a clear line of sight between the remote and the monitor's IR receiver.
