Installation Guide

This is a wired system designed for stable signal transmission. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Test the System: Before permanent installation, connect all components temporarily to ensure they function correctly.
2. Mount the Monitor: Choose a suitable location in your vehicle's cabin for the 7-inch monitor. Use either the fixed bracket or the suction cup mount to secure it.
3. Mount the Cameras: Install the cameras in desired locations (rear, sides, front). Ensure they have a clear line of sight and are securely fastened. The cameras are IP69 waterproof and designed for outdoor use.
4. Wiring the Power:
   • Connect the Red wire to ACC (Accessory power).
   • Connect the Yellow wire to the positive terminal of the battery.
   • Connect the Black wire to a metal ground point on the vehicle chassis.
5. Connecting Cameras: Connect the 4-pin extension cables from each camera to the corresponding inputs on the monitor. Ensure the notches in the connectors are aligned to prevent damage to the pins.
6. Trigger Wires (Optional): The monitor has trigger wires (Brown for CH1, Green for CH2, Blue for CH3, Grey for CH4). These can be connected to specific vehicle signals (e.g., reverse light, turn signals) to automatically switch camera views.
7. Cable Management: Route all cables neatly and securely throughout your vehicle, avoiding moving parts or heat sources.

Quick Connection/Disconnection for Trailers

If using with a trailer, you can run extra cables to allow for easy disconnection when the trailer is not in use. This avoids the need for rewiring each time.

Operating Instructions

Monitor Controls

The monitor features several buttons for control:

• POWER: Turns the monitor on/off.
• CH (Channel): Cycles through camera views or split-screen modes.
• MENU: Accesses the monitor's settings menu.
• SEL (Select): Confirms selections within the menu.

Split Screen Modes

The monitor supports various display modes to suit your needs:

• Full Screen: Displays a single camera view.
• Dual Split Screen: Shows two camera views simultaneously.
• Triple Split Screen: Displays three camera views.
• Quad Split Screen: Shows all four camera views at once.

Use the CH button to cycle through these modes. The remote control can also be used for easier navigation.

Examples of the various split-screen configurations available on the monitor.

Loop Recording (DVR Function)

The system includes a built-in DVR function that records video footage to an SD card (up to 128GB supported). When the SD card is full, the system automatically overwrites the oldest video segments, ensuring continuous recording. This feature provides valuable video evidence in case of incidents.

The monitor's recording function provides continuous video proof.

Parking Lines

Adjustable parking lines are displayed on the monitor to assist with parking and reversing maneuvers. These lines provide a visual guide for distance and trajectory, making it easier to navigate tight spaces.

Parking lines assist in safe and accurate reversing.

Image Flip

The system allows for image flipping (horizontal/vertical) to correct the orientation of the camera view, ensuring the image displayed on the monitor matches your perspective.

Camera Features

High-Quality and Durable Cameras

The cameras are equipped with CCD sensors for clear color images and feature an IP69 waterproof rating, making them resistant to dust and high-pressure water jets. They are designed to operate reliably in extreme temperatures, from -4°F to 198°F, ensuring performance in various weather conditions.

Fookoo cameras are built for durability and performance in harsh environments.

Enhanced Night Vision

Fookoo cameras feature upgraded technology to provide clear, colored images even in low-light conditions. Unlike older IR systems that might flash, these cameras offer consistent visibility at night with minimal ambient light.

Wide Angle and Adjustable Views

Each camera offers a 120-degree wide-angle view, minimizing blind spots. The cameras are also adjustable, allowing for optimal positioning to cover critical areas around your vehicle.

Multiple cameras provide comprehensive coverage to eliminate blind spots.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Fookoo backup camera system, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the camera lenses and monitor screen with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch surfaces.
• Check Connections: Regularly inspect all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion. Secure any loose connections.
• Cable Integrity: Ensure all cables are properly secured and not exposed to excessive friction, heat, or sharp edges that could cause damage.
• Software Updates: Check the Fookoo website or contact customer support for any available firmware updates for your monitor.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Image on Monitor:
  • Check all power connections (Red to ACC, Yellow to battery positive, Black to ground) to ensure they are secure and receiving power.
  • Verify that camera cables are correctly connected to the monitor and that the 4-pin connectors are aligned.
  • Ensure the monitor is powered on.
• Flickering or Unstable Image:
  • Inspect video cables for damage or loose connections.
  • Ensure adequate power supply. If using long power/accessory wires, consider using a thicker gauge wire (e.g., 16 gauge instead of 20 gauge) to prevent voltage drop, especially when the engine is running.
  • As a wired system, signal stability is generally high. If issues persist, check for electromagnetic interference from other vehicle electronics.
  

  Wired systems offer superior signal stability compared to wireless alternatives.

• Turn Signal Triggers Not Working or Delayed:
  • The monitor may not have a built-in delay mechanism for flashing turn signal triggers. This can cause the camera view to not switch properly.
  • Advanced Solution: Consider installing a time delay relay or a voltage stabilizing circuit for the trigger wires. A simple circuit can be constructed using a diode, a 320 ohm resistor, a 10 µF capacitor, and a 100 k ohm resistor. The diode is crucial to prevent turn signals from staying on steadily. This circuit stabilizes the voltage at the trigger input, allowing the monitor to respond correctly to flashing signals.
• Recording Issues:
  • Ensure an SD card (up to 128GB) is properly inserted into the monitor.
  • Format the SD card through the monitor's menu settings.
  • If recording stops, the SD card might be full (though loop recording should prevent this) or corrupted. Try a new SD card.
