   • Connect the camera's ground wire (black wire) to a reliable ground point on your vehicle's chassis.
   • Connect the RCA video output cable from the camera to the RCA video input of your monitor or head unit.
   • If your head unit is an Android unit, you may need to connect the head unit's trigger wire (A) to the camera's trigger wire (B) for automatic display switching when reversing.

6. Operating Instructions

The Jansite P35 camera offers several customizable features:

• Changing Image View (Mirror/Original): By default, the camera provides a mirror image (rear view). To switch to an original image (front view), cut the white wire on the camera's cable.
• Enabling/Disabling Parking Lines: Parking lines are ON by default. To turn them OFF, cut the green wire on the camera's cable.

Note: Perform these wire cuts carefully and ensure the camera is powered off before making any changes.
