3. Key Features
- 5-inch HD1080P High-Resolution & HDR Night Vision: The W12 supports 1920x1080P HD imaging, clearly displaying vehicles and obstacles. Equipped with an improved JX-H65 image sensor and 0.1LUX optical night vision chip, HDR image correction technology ensures clear images day and night, even in tunnels or underground parking.
- 2.4GHz Digital Signal & Stable Wireless Transmission: Adopting the latest frequency hopping technology, it achieves real-time image transmission via a 2.4GHz digital signal. This reduces electromagnetic interference from navigation, ETC, and Bluetooth, preventing image distortion and noise while driving. It offers stable communication up to 100m outdoors and approximately 10m (35 feet) inside a vehicle, suitable for trucks, SUVs, RVs, and trailers.
- 2-Camera Support & Blind Spot Reduction: The 5-inch monitor supports an additional wireless camera (sold separately), allowing simultaneous monitoring of front/side views in addition to the rear. This improves blind spot visibility for safer parking and lane changes, ideal for large vehicles like trucks, pickups, camping cars, and trailers.
- Adjustable Guidelines & Multi-functional Display Settings: Parking guidelines can be finely adjusted for width, height, and left/right position to suit various vehicle types and parking environments. Image settings such as brightness, contrast, color, and hue are also adjustable. The display supports up/down and left/right rotation, as well as normal/mirror image switching, making it versatile for front or side camera applications.
- IP69K Waterproof & Dustproof & Easy Installation: With IP69K waterproof and dustproof specifications, the camera operates stably in harsh weather conditions like heavy rain, snow, or car washes. It withstands temperatures from -20℃ to 65℃. The monitor connects to the cigarette lighter, and the camera wires to the reverse light, making installation simple. Beginners can set it up in about 30 minutes using the manual or instructional videos.
4. Setup and Installation
