4. Installation Guide
This section outlines the general steps for installing your Weuaste backup camera. Installation may vary slightly depending on your vehicle and monitor type.
4.1 Wiring Diagram
Refer to the diagram below for connecting the camera to your vehicle's head unit or monitor.
Image 4.1: Detailed wiring diagram showing connections for a head unit with a trigger wire and a monitor without a trigger wire.
Connection to a Head Unit (with Trigger Wire)
- Connect the camera's 4-pin connector to the 20FT Video Cable.
- Connect the black wire (01) from the camera's power cable to a ground (GND) point on your vehicle.
- Connect the red wire (02) from the camera's power cable to the positive terminal of your vehicle's reversing light.
- Connect the yellow RCA video output from the 20FT Video Cable to the 'BACK' video input on your head unit.
- Connect the red trigger wire (A) from the 20FT Video Cable to the head unit's trigger wire (B). This signals the head unit to switch to the backup camera view when reverse gear is engaged.
Connection to a Monitor (without Trigger Wire)
- Connect the camera's 4-pin connector to the 20FT Video Cable.
- Connect the black wire (01) from the camera's power cable to a ground (GND) point on your vehicle.
- Connect the red wire (02) from the camera's power cable to the positive terminal of your vehicle's reversing light.
- Connect the yellow RCA video output from the 20FT Video Cable directly to the video input on your monitor. The monitor will display the camera feed when it receives power from the reversing light circuit.
4.2 Mounting the Camera
The camera's compact design allows for flexible mounting. Use the provided M8 304 stainless nut and double tape for secure attachment. Consider locations such as:
- Under/to your side mirror
- Front bumper or grille
- Rear decklid, fender, or tailgate handle
- Trunk lid (for SUVs)
Ensure the camera has a clear line of sight and is securely fastened to prevent movement.
5. Operation
5.1 Multi-functional Settings
The camera features customizable settings accessible via specific wires. These wires can be cut to change the camera's behavior. Perform these modifications before final installation and ensure proper insulation of cut wires with electrical tape.
Image 5.1: Visual guide for modifying camera functions by cutting specific wires.
- Blue Wire (Video Output Mode): By default, the camera outputs AHD video. To switch to CVBS video output, cut the blue wire.
- White Wire (Parking Guidelines): By default, parking guidelines are displayed on the screen. To turn off the parking guidelines, cut the white wire.
- Green Wire (View Direction): By default, the camera provides a rear view. To switch to a front view, cut the green wire.
5.2 Adjusting Viewing Angle with Gaskets
The included gaskets allow for fine-tuning the camera's viewing angle to best suit your vehicle and mounting position. Select the appropriate gasket (5mm, 8mm, or 10mm) to achieve the desired tilt.

6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Distorted or No Image After Installation
If your screen displays a distorted image or no image at all after installation, particularly a blue, static-like screen when reversing, it may indicate an incompatibility with the video output format (AHD vs. CVBS).
Image 6.1: Example of a distorted screen and the solution to cut the blue wire to switch to CVBS mode.
Solution: Cut the blue wire on the camera's cable. This will switch the video output from AHD to CVBS mode, which is compatible with a wider range of monitors and head units. After cutting the wire, insulate it properly with electrical tape and test the camera again by engaging reverse gear.
