3. Setup and Installation
The Fookoo system is designed for simple installation, especially for vehicles with Furrion pre-wired mounts. The voltage range for operation is DC 12-24V.
3.1 Camera Installation
- For Furrion Pre-wired RVs: Most RVs are equipped with Furrion pre-wired and mounting locations. The Fookoo camera is designed to fit directly onto these mounts, eliminating the need for extensive drilling. Simply align the camera with the existing mount and secure it with the provided screws from the installation kit.
- For Vehicles Without Pre-wired Mounts: If your vehicle does not have a pre-wired bracket, choose a suitable location at the rear of your vehicle for optimal viewing. Fix the camera securely using the installation kit.
- Power Connection: Connect the camera to your vehicle's power supply (DC 12-24V) using the provided power cord. Ensure a stable power source for continuous operation.

3.2 Monitor Installation
- Mounting: Use the suction cup mount or the U-shaped bracket to secure the 7-inch IPS monitor in a convenient viewing location within your vehicle's cabin. Optional windshield and table mounting options are available.
- Power Connection: Connect the monitor to a 12-24V DC power supply using the provided power cord or car charger.
- Antenna Connection: Attach the antennas to the designated ports on the monitor for optimal wireless signal reception.
3.3 Important Considerations
- Wireless Signal: The system transmits footage wirelessly, but both the camera and monitor require a wired connection to a power source.
- Chevrolet/GMC Owners: For some Chevrolet or GMC vehicles, the taillights and running lights may not provide a constant 12-volt power supply. You may need a 7 Way Vehicle Power Adapter to ensure proper system function. Contact Fookoo support for assistance or a link to purchase this adapter.
- No Cigarette Lighter Socket: If your car lacks a cigarette lighter socket and you prefer not to hardwire, a USB to 12V Cigarette Lighter Socket Cable can be requested from Fookoo support.
