Setup and Installation
This section provides instructions for installing your Jansite Backup Camera. Ensure your vehicle's power is off before beginning installation.
1. Choosing an Installation Position
The camera can be installed in various positions, typically near the license plate or on the rear bumper, to provide a clear view of the area behind the vehicle. Consider both rear view and front view mounting options based on your dash cam's capabilities and your preference.

2. Wiring the Camera
The camera connects to your dash cam or mirror dash cam using the provided 4-pin extension cable. The red wire typically connects to the vehicle's reverse light power source (12V) to activate the reversing line when the vehicle is in reverse gear.
- Connect the camera's 4-pin connector to one end of the 8m extension cable.
- Route the extension cable from the camera's mounting location to your dash cam/mirror dash cam. Ensure the cable is securely tucked away and not exposed to moving parts or excessive heat.
- Connect the red power wire from the camera's harness to the positive (+) terminal of your vehicle's reverse light. This allows the camera to receive power and trigger the reversing display when backing up.
- Connect the other end of the 4-pin extension cable to the corresponding 4-pin input on your dash cam or mirror dash cam.

Note: If your dash cam supports it, you may be able to cut the white wire on the camera's harness to disable the reversing line display. Refer to your dash cam's manual for specific instructions.
Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Jansite Backup Camera operates in conjunction with your compatible dash cam or mirror dash cam.
1. Automatic Reversing Display

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Jansite Backup Camera.
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or water spots that may obstruct the view. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically check the extension cable and connections for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Secure any loose cables to prevent interference or damage.
- Waterproof Integrity: While the camera is IP68 waterproof, avoid directing high-pressure water jets directly at the camera during car washes, as this could potentially compromise the seal over time.
- Environmental Factors: The camera is designed to withstand various weather conditions. However, extreme temperatures or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may affect its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Jansite Backup Camera, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No image on screen when reversing. | Loose cable connection; Incorrect power wiring; Incompatible dash cam. | Check all 4-pin connections and ensure they are secure. Verify the red power wire is correctly connected to the reverse light's positive terminal. Confirm your dash cam supports a 4-pin input and the camera's video signal type. |
| Image is blurry or unclear. | Dirty lens; Condensation inside lens; Low resolution setting on dash cam. | Clean the camera lens. If condensation persists, ensure the camera is properly sealed. Check your dash cam's settings to ensure it is set to display at 1080P resolution. |
| Reversing line not appearing/disappearing. | White wire cut/not cut; Dash cam setting. | If you want the reversing line, ensure the white wire on the camera harness is intact. If you don't want it, cut the white wire. Some dash cams also have settings to enable/disable parking lines. |
| Camera not working in low light. | Lens obstruction; Extreme darkness. | Ensure the lens is clean. While the camera has excellent night vision, in absolute darkness without any ambient light, visibility will be limited. |
If the problem persists after trying these solutions, please contact Jansite customer support for further assistance.
