3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your K7PRO system.
3.1. Monitor Installation
- Attach the suction cup mount to the monitor.
- Mount the monitor on your vehicle's windshield or dashboard in a position that does not obstruct your view.
- Connect the monitor to the car charger and plug the charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
3.2. Camera Installation
The camera is typically mounted near the license plate. Ensure the camera lens is clean and unobstructed.
- Secure the camera to the vehicle, often using the license plate bracket or an appropriate mounting location. If the license plate and tailgate handle are too close, the camera can be mounted below the license plate.
- Connect the camera's power cable to the vehicle's reverse light (12V) and ground (iron part of the vehicle). This ensures the camera powers on automatically when reversing.
Figure 3.1: The wireless design simplifies installation, eliminating the need for complex wiring between the camera and the monitor. The camera connects to the reverse light for power, and the monitor plugs into the car's cigarette lighter.
4. Operation
Once installed, the system is ready for use.
4.1. Powering On/Off
- The monitor will automatically power on when the vehicle is put into reverse (if wired to the reverse light).
- To manually power on/off the monitor, use the power button located on the side of the monitor.
4.2. Switching Between Cameras (if applicable)
If a second camera is connected, you can switch between CAM1 and CAM2 views.
- Press and hold the button at the bottom of the monitor for 3 seconds to switch between the two camera views.
Figure 4.1: The K7PRO system supports two camera inputs, allowing users to connect an additional camera (sold separately) and switch between views for comprehensive monitoring.
4.3. Image Settings
The K7PRO allows for various image adjustments through the monitor's menu.
- Parking Lines: Select from 6 different auxiliary lines to match your vehicle and preference.
- Mirror/Normal Image: Switch between mirror image (standard for rear view) and normal image (recommended for front camera use).
Figure 4.2: The K7PRO allows users to switch between mirror and normal image views, useful for rear or front camera applications.
- Image Up/Down Adjustment: If the camera is mounted in an inverted position (e.g., below the license plate), the image can be flipped vertically through the menu.
Figure 4.3: The image can be adjusted vertically (up and down) through the menu, providing flexibility for various mounting positions, such as below the license plate.
4.4. Night Vision
The K7PRO camera automatically adjusts to low light conditions, providing a clear image for safe parking at night.
