Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the monitor controls and remote control for optimal use of the system's features.
Monitor Viewing Modes
The 9-inch IPS monitor supports various display configurations:
- Full View: Displays the feed from a single camera across the entire screen.
- Split View: Divides the screen to show feeds from two cameras simultaneously.
- Triple View: Displays feeds from three cameras.
- Quadruple View: Shows feeds from four cameras (if additional cameras are connected).
Use the 'CH' button on the monitor or remote control to cycle through connected cameras or viewing modes.

Reversing Lines and Mirroring
- Reversing Lines: The monitor can display adjustable reversing guidelines to assist with parking and maneuvering. These can be toggled ON/OFF via the monitor settings.
- Mirroring Function: The camera image can be mirrored or flipped (horizontally/vertically) to suit your preference and installation orientation, ensuring the view matches your expectations.

Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
The integrated BSD system actively monitors the vehicle's blind spots. When an object is detected in a blind spot, an audible or visual warning will be provided on the monitor to alert the driver.

Loop Recording
The system supports continuous loop recording. When the memory card (not included) is full, the oldest footage will automatically be overwritten by new recordings. This ensures that you always have recent driving footage available.
Night Vision
The camera features enhanced night vision, providing clear images even in very low light conditions, improving safety during nighttime operation.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your camera system.
- Cleaning the Camera Lens: Periodically clean the camera lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or water spots that may obstruct the view. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Monitor Screen: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for electronic screens to clean the monitor. Do not spray cleaning solutions directly onto the screen.
- Check Connections: Regularly inspect all power connections and antenna connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Waterproof Rating: The camera has an IP68 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against dust and can withstand immersion in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. However, avoid high-pressure washing directly on the camera.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Hodozzy camera system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No image on monitor | No power to monitor or camera; Loose connections; Camera or monitor not paired. | Check power connections to both monitor and camera. Ensure all cables are securely connected. If applicable, re-pair the camera and monitor according to the full user manual. |
| Image flickering or unstable | Weak wireless signal; Interference from other devices; Damaged antenna. | Ensure antennas are securely attached and unobstructed. Reposition antennas for better signal. Move away from strong electromagnetic interference sources. |
| Blurry or unclear image | Dirty camera lens; Condensation on lens; Incorrect camera focus (if adjustable). | Clean the camera lens. Allow time for condensation to dissipate. Ensure camera is correctly focused. |
| Recording not working | No memory card inserted; Memory card full or corrupted; Recording function disabled. | Insert a compatible memory card. Format the memory card (this will erase all data). Check monitor settings to ensure recording is enabled. |
| Blind Spot Detection not alerting | Sensor obstructed; BSD feature disabled in settings. | Ensure the camera's view is unobstructed. Check monitor settings to confirm BSD is enabled. |
