4.3 Wiring Diagram
Connect the camera to the monitor using the provided 66ft 4-pin extension cable. The 4-pin aviation connector ensures secure and reliable transmission of power, ground, audio, and video signals.
Figure 4.3.1: 4-pin connector configuration.
For continuous operation (e.g., driving), connect the camera to AV1 and ignore the green wire. For reverse-only operation, connect the camera to AV2 and connect the green wire to the reversing light circuit. This will automatically display the camera feed when reversing.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No image on monitor | Loose cable connection, no power to monitor/camera, faulty camera/monitor. | Check all 4-pin connections. Verify power supply to the monitor and camera. Test with another camera/monitor if available. |
| Image is distorted or flickering | Poor cable connection, electromagnetic interference, damaged cable. | Ensure connections are tight. Reroute cables away from strong electrical sources. Inspect cable for damage. |
| Night vision not working | IR LEDs are off, insufficient power. | Ensure camera is receiving adequate power. IR LEDs should activate automatically in low light. |
| Monitor power cycles on/off repeatedly | Unstable power supply, internal fault. | Check vehicle's power source for stability. Ensure proper voltage (12V/24V). If problem persists, contact support. |
| Camera lens is foggy/obscured | Condensation, dirt, water droplets. | Clean the lens. Apply a water-repellent coating. Ensure proper sealing if condensation is internal. |
