4. Installation Guide

Professional installation is recommended. Ensure the vehicle's power is off before beginning installation.

4.1 Choosing an Installation Location

For rear view, the camera is typically installed above the license plate or near the trunk handle. For front view, it can be mounted on the front bumper or grille. Choose a location that provides a clear, unobstructed view and allows for easy cable routing.

4.2 Drilling the Mounting Hole

1. Carefully mark the desired installation spot.
2. Use the provided 22.5mm drill bit to create a precise hole for the camera. Ensure no vital wires or components are behind the drilling area.
3. Clean any debris from the drilled hole.

4.3 Wiring Connections

1. Camera Power Connection: Connect the camera's power cable (red wire) to the vehicle's 12V power source. For rear view, this is typically the reverse light power wire, so the camera activates when reversing. For front view, it can be connected to an accessory power source that turns on with the ignition. Connect the ground wire (black wire) to a suitable chassis ground point.
2. Video Signal Connection: Connect the 6-meter video cable (yellow RCA connector) from the camera to your car's display unit (e.g., car stereo with a video input, dedicated monitor).
3. Optional Control Wires: The camera may have small control wires (e.g., white/green) near the video cable.
   • One wire (often white) may control the parking lines. Cutting or connecting this wire can enable or disable the parking guidelines on the display.
   • Another wire (often green) may control the mirror image. Cutting or connecting this wire can switch between normal and mirror image, useful for front or rear camera applications. Refer to Figure 2.1 for visual reference.
4. Secure Cables: Route all cables neatly and securely, away from moving parts or heat sources, using cable ties or clips.

4.4 Testing the Installation

After all connections are made, turn on the vehicle's ignition and test the camera. For a rear camera, engage reverse gear to check if the image appears on your display. For a front camera, ensure it activates as intended.

5. Operation

The HSB012 camera is designed for simple, automatic operation once correctly installed.

5.1 Rear View Camera Operation

When connected to the vehicle's reverse light power, the camera will automatically activate and display the rear view on your connected monitor as soon as you shift the vehicle into reverse gear. The parking guidelines (if enabled via the control wire) will assist you in judging distance and alignment.

5.2 Front View Camera Operation

If installed as a front camera and connected to an ignition-switched power source, the camera will provide a continuous front view or activate based on your display unit's settings (e.g., manual activation, speed-based activation). Ensure the mirror image setting is correct for front view (usually normal image).

5.3 Night Vision

The camera features HD night vision capabilities, providing clear images even in low-light conditions. This enhances safety during nighttime parking and maneuvering.

• Checking Connections: Occasionally inspect all cable connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion or damage.
• Environmental Protection: While the camera is IP68 waterproof, avoid directing high-pressure water jets directly at the camera during car washes.
