5. Setup and Installation

Careful installation is crucial for optimal performance. Follow these steps for proper setup.

5.1 Camera Placement and Mounting

The TTXSCAM-E02 camera offers flexible placement options for front, rear, or side views, and can be installed using either bracket mounting or flush mounting.

Figure 5.1: Examples of camera installation positions: front view (e.g., on grille), rear view (e.g., above license plate), and side view (e.g., near side mirror).

Figure 5.2: Illustration of the two primary mounting methods: horizontal mounting (e.g., under a lip) and vertical mounting (e.g., flush into a surface).

5.2 Camera Angle Adjustment

The camera body is designed for 360-degree rotation, and the lens can be adjusted 45 degrees left/right and 45 degrees up/down using the provided hex wrench. This allows for precise aiming to achieve the desired field of view.

5.3 Wiring Diagram

The camera connects to your vehicle's power system and display unit. There are two primary wiring configurations depending on whether your head unit has a dedicated trigger wire.

Figure 5.4: Detailed wiring diagrams. Wire Program 1 shows connection with a head unit's trigger wire (A connects to B, C connects to reversing/brake/turning light positive or ACC). Wire Program 2 shows connection to a monitor without a trigger wire, where the camera's power is supplied directly from the vehicle's reversing light positive, brake light positive, turning light positive, or ACC.

• Wire Program 1 (with Head Unit Trigger Wire): Connect the camera's trigger wire (B) to the head unit's trigger wire (A). Connect the camera's power (Red wire) to the reversing light positive, brake light positive, turning light positive, or ACC. Connect the camera's ground (Black wire) to GND.
• Wire Program 2 (without Head Unit Trigger Wire): If your monitor does not have a trigger wire, connect the camera's power (Red wire) directly to the reversing light positive, brake light positive, turning light positive, or ACC. Connect the camera's ground (Black wire) to GND.
• Important: Always test the backup camera before routing the video cable permanently. Start the vehicle and engage reverse gear to test the camera's functionality.

5.4 Signal and Feature Configuration (Switcher Cables)

The camera features three switcher loop cables (white, orange, green) that allow you to customize its functionality. After cutting any cable, remember to reconnect the power supply to apply the change. You can also reconnect the cut cable if you wish to revert the setting.

Figure 5.5: Diagram illustrating the function of the three switcher cables: white for mirror/non-mirror image, orange for AHD/CVBS video signal, and green for enabling/disabling guidelines.

• White Cable: Cut this cable to switch from mirror image (rear view default) to non-mirror image (front view).
• Orange Cable: Cut this cable to switch from AHD video signal to CVBS video signal. This is necessary if your monitor does not support AHD 1080P 25HZ (PAL) video settings. The camera is designed to produce CVBS video signal by default.
• Green Cable: Cut this cable to disable the parking guideline.

5.5 Compatibility Note

This camera has an RCA video output plug. It must work with monitors that support RCA video input. It is not compatible with dash cams, mirror cams, or GPS units that do not support RCA video input.

Figure 5.6: An important note indicating that the camera uses an RCA video output and is not suitable for direct connection to dash cams, GPS units, or mirror cams that lack RCA input.

6. Operating Instructions

Once properly installed and configured, the TTXSCAM-E02 camera operates automatically.

• Rear View Operation: When connected to the vehicle's reversing light circuit, the camera will automatically activate and display the rear view on your connected monitor when the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear.
• Front/Side View Operation: If configured for front or side view and connected to an ACC (Accessory) power source or a dedicated switch, the camera can be activated manually or automatically depending on your vehicle's setup.
• Viewing Guidelines: If the green switcher cable is intact, parking guidelines will appear on the screen to assist with parking maneuvers.

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your TTXSCAM-E02 camera, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or water spots that may obscure the view. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Periodically check the camera's mounting and cable connections to ensure they are secure and free from damage.
• Waterproof Integrity: While the camera is IP68 rated, avoid directing high-pressure water jets directly at the camera for extended periods, especially during car washes.
