Setup
The Haloview CA613 camera is designed for easy integration with your existing Haloview RD7 system. Ensure all components are present and undamaged before beginning installation.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove the CA613 camera from its packaging. Verify that all listed components are included.
- Choose Mounting Location: Select a suitable location for the camera, typically at the rear of the vehicle, ensuring a clear line of sight and protection from direct impact. The surface mount design allows for flexible positioning.
- Secure the Camera: Use appropriate screws and mounting hardware (not included unless specified by Haloview) to securely attach the camera bracket to the chosen surface. Ensure the camera is oriented correctly for the desired viewing angle.
- Connect Power: Connect the camera's power cable to a 12-volt DC power source. This is typically the vehicle's reverse light circuit for backup cameras, or a constant power source for continuous monitoring. Ensure proper polarity.
- Pair with RD7 System: Refer to your Haloview RD7 System manual for specific instructions on pairing new cameras. Generally, this involves putting the monitor into pairing mode and then activating the camera. The camera uses Wi-Fi for wireless communication.
- Test Functionality: After installation and pairing, test the camera's video feed on your RD7 monitor to confirm proper operation and adjust the viewing angle if necessary.
Operating Instructions
Once the CA613 camera is successfully installed and paired with your Haloview RD7 monitor, its operation is largely managed through the monitor unit.
- Power On/Off: The camera powers on automatically when it receives 12V power.
- Viewing Feed: The video feed from the CA613 camera will appear on your RD7 monitor when the system is active and the camera is selected or triggered (e.g., by engaging reverse gear if wired to reverse lights).
- Adjustments: Any image adjustments (brightness, contrast, etc.) are typically performed via the RD7 monitor's menu system. Consult the RD7 monitor's user manual for detailed instructions on these settings.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, damp cloth to ensure a clear image. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically check all cable connections for wear, corrosion, or damage. Ensure they are securely fastened.
- Mounting Security: Verify that the camera remains securely mounted to its surface. Tighten any loose screws if necessary.
- Software Updates: While the camera itself may not have user-updatable firmware, ensure your RD7 monitor system is kept up-to-date as per Haloview's recommendations.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No image on monitor | Camera not powered Camera not paired Loose cable connection | Check power connection to the camera. Ensure 12V supply. Re-pair the camera with the RD7 monitor according to the monitor's manual. Inspect all cable connections for security. |
| Image is blurry or unclear | Dirty lens Incorrect focus (unlikely for fixed lens) | Clean the camera lens with a soft cloth. Ensure the camera is securely mounted and not vibrating. |
| Intermittent signal | Interference Distance/Obstruction | Ensure no strong Wi-Fi or radio interference sources are near the camera or monitor. Reduce distance between camera and monitor, or clear obstructions. |
| Image is dark at night | IR illuminators not active | Ensure the camera is receiving sufficient power. The IR LEDs should activate automatically in low light. |
