5. Setup and Installation
5.1 Mounting the Camera
The camera offers flexible mounting options due to its 360° rotatable body and two types of back covers. You can choose between a bolt-on cover or a metal adhesive cover for drilling-free installation.

5.2 Wiring Diagram
Follow the wiring instructions carefully to ensure proper functionality.
Image: A detailed wiring diagram for the backup camera. It illustrates how to connect the camera to a head unit (trigger wire A to trigger wire B for Android monitors), the black wire to GND (ground), and the red wire to the reversing light's positive terminal. Important notices regarding compatibility with various display types are also included.
5.3 Important Compatibility Notices
This backup camera is compatible with built-in screens or monitors with an RCA connection. It is not compatible with sucked-type dash cams or mirror dash cams, as these devices have different connectors and PIN definitions.
Image: This image displays important notices regarding the compatibility of the reverse camera. It explicitly states that the camera is only compatible with stereo/head units, factory OEM navigation, stereo displays, DVD players, and rear-view mirror monitors. It also shows examples of incompatible devices, such as sucked-type dash cams and mirror dash cams, due to their differing connectors and PIN definitions.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Camera Configuration
The camera offers several configurable options by cutting specific cables. Always reconnect the power supply after cutting any cable.
Image: This diagram illustrates three control modes for the backup camera. It shows how to switch between AHD 1080P (default) and CVBS video signals by cutting the orange cable, how to switch between Mirror Image (default) and Original Image (non-mirror) by cutting the white cable, and how to turn the guide line ON (default) or OFF by cutting the green cable.
- AHD 1080P / CVBS Signal Switching: Cut the orange cable to switch between AHD 1080P (default) and CVBS video signals.
- Mirror Image / Non-Mirror Image: Cut the white cable to switch from mirror image (rear view, default) to non-mirror image (front view).
- Guide Line ON / OFF: Cut the green cable to turn off the parking guide lines.
6.2 Setting the Rear Lens on Your Monitor
For optimal display, ensure your monitor settings are correctly configured for the camera's signal type.
Image: This image provides instructions on how to set the rear lens display settings on a compatible monitor. It shows a three-step process: Step 1 involves selecting the reversing system, Step 2 shows the reversing system selection menu where AHD 720p 25fps is highlighted, and Step 3 displays the final camera view with guide lines, indicating that AHD 1080p 25fps is an available option. It notes that CVBS video signals are available for all monitors, but AHD lenses are only for AHD monitors.
- Access your monitor's settings menu.
- Navigate to the 'Reverse' or 'Reversing system selection' option.
- Select the appropriate video signal (e.g., AHD 1080P 25fps) that matches your camera's output. If your setup is not working, try connecting the camera and re-checking these settings.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning the Lens: Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the lens.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically check all cables and connections for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Secure any loose wiring.
- Weather Protection: While the camera is IP69K waterproof, extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy ice buildup) can temporarily impair performance. Ensure the lens is clear before driving.
8. Troubleshooting
- No Signal or Black Screen:
- Ensure all connections are secure and correctly wired (power, ground, video signal).
- Verify that the orange cable is cut correctly if you need to switch between AHD and CVBS modes.
- Check your monitor's input settings to ensure it's configured for the correct video signal (AHD or CVBS).
- If the screen turns black when reversing, a rectifier might be needed to stabilize the power supply. Contact customer support for assistance.
- Image is Not Clear/Distorted:
- Clean the camera lens.
- Ensure the camera is securely mounted and not vibrating.
- Verify that the monitor's resolution settings match the camera's output (1080P AHD or standard CVBS).
- No Guide Lines:
- Check if the green cable has been cut. If you want guide lines, the green cable should remain intact.
- Some monitors have their own guide line settings; ensure they are enabled if you prefer the monitor's lines.
- Image is Mirrored (Front View):
- If the image is mirrored when you intend a front view, ensure the white cable is cut. If it's a rear view and mirrored, the white cable should be intact.
- Connection Issues with RCA:
- Ensure your head unit or monitor explicitly supports RCA video input.
- This camera is not compatible with 4-pin camera inputs or non-standard video inputs found on some dash cams or mirror dash cams.
