3. Setup and Installation
The Yada App View Camera offers flexible installation options. Ensure the camera is fully charged before initial use by connecting it to a USB power source using the provided Micro USB cable.
3.1 Charging the Camera
Before first use, fully charge the camera's internal battery. Connect the supplied Micro USB charging cable to the camera's charging port and to a standard USB power adapter (not included). A full charge typically takes several hours. The solar panel will maintain the charge during daylight hours once installed.
3.2 Mounting the Camera
Choose a mounting location that provides a clear view of the rear of your vehicle and allows the solar panel to receive adequate sunlight. Common locations include above the license plate or on the rear bumper.
Option A: Screw Mount (Recommended for secure installation)
- Position the camera bracket at the desired location.
- Mark the drilling points through the bracket holes.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary, then secure the bracket using the provided screws.
- Attach the camera to the secured bracket.
Option B: Adhesive Mount (For flat, clean surfaces)
- Clean the mounting surface thoroughly with rubbing alcohol and allow it to dry completely.
- Peel the protective backing from the adhesive pad.
- Press the camera firmly onto the prepared surface for at least 30 seconds. Ensure a strong bond.
Note: For optimal solar charging, ensure the solar panel faces upwards and is not obstructed.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Downloading the Yada Drive App
The Yada App View Camera operates exclusively with the Yada Drive app. Download the app from your smartphone's app store (Apple App Store for iOS or Google Play Store for Android).
Note: Replace "Link Placeholder" with actual app store links if available.
4.2 Pairing the Camera with Your Smartphone
- Ensure your smartphone's Wi-Fi is enabled.
- Open the Yada Drive app.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to add a new device. The app will guide you through connecting to the camera's Wi-Fi network. The camera's Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password can typically be found on a sticker on the camera itself or in the Quick Install Guide.
- Once connected, the app will display the live rearview video feed.
Important: The camera creates its own Wi-Fi network for direct connection to your smartphone. Your phone will temporarily disconnect from other Wi-Fi networks while connected to the camera.
4.3 Using the Camera for Reversing
To use the backup camera:
- Ensure the camera is powered on (it activates automatically when motion is detected or when the vehicle is put into reverse, depending on installation).
- Open the Yada Drive app on your smartphone. You may need to confirm location/photo access permissions each time, depending on your phone's operating system and app settings.
- The live video feed will appear, allowing you to safely reverse your vehicle.
- For hands-free operation, you can use voice commands like "Hey Siri, Open Yada Drive app" on compatible iOS devices.
Note: The camera is designed for short-duration use during reversing. Continuous streaming may drain the battery faster than solar charging can replenish it.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Yada App View Camera.
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lens and solar panel with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surfaces.
- Solar Panel Exposure: Ensure the solar panel remains unobstructed and exposed to direct sunlight as much as possible to maintain battery charge.
- Battery Health: If the camera is stored for an extended period, periodically charge it via the Micro USB cable to prevent deep discharge, which can reduce battery life.
