4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Camera Activation
The camera automatically activates when the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear, provided it is correctly wired to the reversing lamp power supply. The video feed will appear on your connected display monitor.
4.2 Video Format Switching (CVBS / AHD 720P)
This camera supports two video output formats: CVBS PAL (with backup lines) and AHD 720P PAL (without backup lines). The format can be switched using the white control wire integrated into the camera's power cable.
- To select CVBS PAL: Ensure the white control wire is connected (loop closed). This mode typically displays dynamic parking guidelines.
- To select AHD 720P PAL: Cut the white control wire (loop open). This mode provides a higher definition image without parking guidelines.
Note: Ensure your display monitor is compatible with the selected video format (AHD or CVBS).
