4. Wiring:
   • Connect the camera's power cable to your vehicle's reverse light power supply (typically 12V) or a constant 12V-24V power source if using for continuous monitoring.
   • Connect the video cable (RCA connector) from the camera to your compatible display unit (e.g., car stereo, aftermarket LCD/TFT screen).
   • Important Compatibility Note: This camera is compatible ONLY with car stereos, head units, OEM navigation systems, stereo displays, DVD players, or rearview mirror monitors that accept standard RCA input. It is NOT suitable for dash cams or mirror dash cams due to different connector and PIN definitions.

Operating Instructions

The camera features three control modes activated by cutting specific wires on the video cable. Perform these modifications before final installation if needed.

1. Guideline ON/OFF:
   • Default: Parking guidelines are ON.
   • To turn guidelines OFF: Cut the green wire loop.
2. Video Signal Output (AHD 1080P / CVBS):
   • Default: AHD 1080P (25FPS). This is suitable for AHD-compatible displays.
   • To switch to CVBS signal: Cut the orange wire loop. CVBS is compatible with most older or non-AHD displays.
3. Front/Rear View Switching (Mirror Image / Positive Image):
   • Default: Mirror Image (Rear View).
   • To switch to Positive Image (Front View): Cut the white wire loop. This is useful if installing the camera as a front camera.

Troubleshooting

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

• No Image on Display:
  • Check all cable connections (power, video) are secure.
  • Ensure the camera is receiving power (e.g., reverse lights are on).
  • Verify your display unit is set to the correct video input.
  • Confirm the video signal type (AHD/CVBS) matches your display and the camera's wire-cut configuration.
• Fuzzy or Distorted Image:
  • Clean the camera lens.
  • Check video cable for damage or kinks.
  • Ensure the video signal type (AHD/CVBS) is correctly configured for your display.
  • Verify the display unit's resolution settings.
• Incorrect View (Mirror/Front):
  • Check the white wire loop on the camera cable. Cut it if you need front view, leave it intact for rear view.
• No Parking Guidelines:
  • Check the green wire loop on the camera cable. Cut it if you want guidelines OFF, leave it intact for guidelines ON.
• Interference/Signal Noise:
  • Ensure the double-shielded video cable is used and routed away from strong electrical interference sources.
  • Verify power connections are stable and free from fluctuations.
