- For continuous operation (running lights): Connect the camera's positive wire to the positive wire of your vehicle's running lights. Connect the camera's negative wire to a suitable ground point on the vehicle chassis.
- For reverse-only operation (reversing lights): Connect the camera's positive wire to the positive wire of your vehicle's reversing lights. Connect the camera's negative wire to a suitable ground point on the vehicle chassis.
- Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent short circuits and water damage.
3.4 Connecting to Monitor
The camera transmits video wirelessly to a compatible monitor (sold separately). Ensure your monitor is powered on and set to the correct input channel to receive the camera's signal. The camera uses an RCA connector type for video output, which is wirelessly transmitted.

Once installed and powered, the camera will automatically transmit video to your paired monitor.
4.1 Basic Operation
- If connected to reverse lights, the camera will activate automatically when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.
- If connected to running lights, the camera will be active whenever the vehicle's running lights are on.
- Adjust your monitor's settings (brightness, contrast, color) for optimal viewing.
4.2 Camera Pairing (for multiple cameras)
If you are adding an extra camera to your system, pairing may be required. Refer to your monitor's instruction manual for specific pairing procedures. Typically, this involves selecting an available channel (CH1 or CH2) on your monitor and initiating a pairing process while the camera is powered on.
