Operating Instructions

The GreenYi AHD 720P camera features three switcher cables to customize its functionality:

• White Cable: Cut the white cable to switch from mirror image (default for rear view) to non-mirror image (for front view).
• Orange Cable: Cut the orange cable to switch from CVBS video signal to AHD video signal. This option is available if your monitor supports AHD 720P 30HZ (NTSC) video settings.
• Green Cable: Cut the green cable to turn off the parking guide lines.

Note: After cutting any cable, you must reconnect the power supply to apply the changes. Cables can be reconnected if the original setting is desired.
