4.2 Wiring Connection

Connect the camera using the provided RCA video cable and power cable. The camera supports 12V-24V power input. Ensure all connections are secure.

• Connect the camera's power cable to the vehicle's reverse light power supply (red wire to positive, black wire to ground).
• Connect the RCA video cable from the camera to the RCA video input on your head unit or display.

4.3 Signal Switching (AHD/CVBS)

The camera supports both AHD and CVBS video signals. By default, the camera may be set to AHD. If your monitor only supports CVBS, you may need to switch the signal type.

• To switch from AHD to CVBS, locate the small orange wire loop near the camera connector. Cut this loop to change the signal output to CVBS.

4.4 Setting Rear Lens on Monitor

For optimal display, ensure your monitor's settings match the camera's output. Lenses with CVBS video signals are compatible with all monitors, but AHD lenses require AHD-compatible monitors.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Image Orientation (Mirror/Normal)

The camera supports switching between mirror image (for rear view) and original image (for front view). This is typically controlled by cutting a specific wire loop on the camera cable.

• To switch between mirror and normal image, locate the small white wire loop near the camera connector. Cut this loop to toggle the image orientation.

5.2 Parking Guidelines (ON/OFF)

The camera can display parking guidelines on the screen to assist with parking maneuvers. These guidelines can be turned on or off as needed.

• To toggle parking guidelines, locate the small green wire loop near the camera connector. Cut this loop to turn the guidelines on or off.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 No Display or Poor Image Quality

• Check Wiring: Ensure the red part of the camera's power cable is correctly connected to the reverse light's positive (+) terminal.
• RCA Connection: Verify that the RCA interface is properly connected to the AUX video input of your head unit. If issues persist, try removing and re-inserting the RCA interface into the CVBS input.
• Signal Format: If the screen is still not displayed after checking connections, you may need to enter your device's settings to change the video format to AHD 1080P 25fps. If the video is not displayed, try cutting the orange coil wire to switch to CVBS mode, then restart the device and set the video format to CVBS NTSC.
• Power Source: The rear camera is powered by the reversing light and will only display an image when the vehicle is in reverse.

7.2 Compatibility with Dash Cams/DVRs

Important Note: Jansite backup cameras are designed with standard RCA connections and are primarily intended for use with head units or aftermarket LCD/TFT displays that have RCA video input. They are generally not compatible with dash cams or mirror dash cams due to different connection types and pin definitions. If your host device has a record function, it may not be compatible.

Image: Clearly states that the camera is not directly compatible with monitors, DVRs, or dashcams that do not support RCA video input due to differing pin definitions.
