2. Wiring Connections

1. Connect the camera's video output to your vehicle's display unit (monitor or original screen with RCA connector) using the provided 26.2ft double-shielded video cable. Ensure a secure connection to prevent signal issues.
2. Connect the camera's power cable to the vehicle's reverse light power supply (12V DC). This ensures the camera activates automatically when the vehicle is put into reverse.
3. For some vehicle models, a 12V DC power adapter filter rectifier may be necessary to stabilize the current and prevent issues like streaks or flickering. This is not included and may need to be purchased separately if required.
4. Route all cables neatly and securely, using the provided zip ties to prevent interference or damage.
