4.2 Connection Steps

1. Mount the Camera: Replace the existing high-mount brake light with the CAMECHO camera unit. Ensure a secure fit.
2. Connect Power: Connect the camera's red power wire to the vehicle's reversing lamp positive (+) and the black ground wire to a suitable chassis ground (-). This ensures the camera activates when reverse gear is engaged.
3. Connect Video Cable: Run the 10m video extension cable from the camera to your display monitor (e.g., car stereo with screen, dedicated monitor). Connect the yellow RCA connectors.
4. Signal Mode Selection (AHD/CVBS): The camera supports both AHD 720P and CVBS video signals. To switch between modes, locate the green control line on the camera's wiring harness.
   • For CVBS signal: Connect the green control line.
   • For AHD 720P signal: Cut off the green control line.

   Note: Ensure your display monitor supports the selected video signal type (AHD or CVBS). If your monitor does not support AHD, use the CVBS signal.
