Setup and Installation

The DVKNM Wireless RV Backup Camera System is designed for easy installation, supporting both Furrion pre-wired RVs and universal 12-36V vehicles.

Camera Installation

  1. For Furrion Pre-Wired RVs: The camera can be installed directly into the existing Furrion pre-wired mounting location. Connect the camera's power cable to the pre-wired connector. No drilling is required.
  2. For Universal 12-36V Vehicles: For vehicles not equipped with Furrion pre-wiring, connect the camera to a 12-36V DC power source. A 12V power cable is included for this purpose. Ensure proper polarity (+ to + and - to -).

Monitor Installation

  1. Attach the fan-shaped bracket or suction cup bracket to the 7-inch IPS touchscreen monitor.
  2. Mount the monitor in a suitable location within your vehicle that provides a clear view without obstructing your driving.
  3. Connect the monitor to power using the provided car charger or USB power cable.
  4. Attach the two monitor antennas to the designated ports on the monitor.

Note: For some Chevrolet or GMC vehicle owners, a 7-way vehicle power adapter may be required. This is because the taillights and running lights may not provide a stable 12-volt power supply, which can affect system performance. Contact customer support for more details or to purchase the adapter if needed.

Operating Instructions

Powering On and Basic Operation

  • Once powered, the monitor will automatically connect to the camera.
  • The 7-inch IPS touchscreen allows for easy navigation and control of system features.
  • The system provides real-time 1080P FHD views for safe parking, lane changes, and maneuvering.

Split-Screen Display

The monitor supports split-screen display, allowing you to view feeds from up to 4 cameras simultaneously (additional cameras sold separately). Access split-screen modes through the touchscreen menu for enhanced driving safety.

Loop Recording

Insert an SD card (not included) into the monitor to activate the loop recording function. This feature saves footage continuously, similar to a dash cam. Critical moments can be rewound and replayed directly on the monitor. Ensure the SD card is formatted correctly before use.
