Setup and Installation
The WOOCARTY RV Backup Camera System is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these steps for optimal performance.
Camera Installation
- Mounting: The camera can be mounted at the rear of your vehicle. For vehicles with existing Furrion pre-wired plugs, remove the original Furrion mount and secure the WOOCARTY camera using the same mounting holes. For vehicles without pre-wired setups, use the included screws to secure the camera in a suitable location, ensuring a clear view.
- Power Connection: Connect the camera to a 12-24V DC power source. Ensure a stable power supply for continuous operation.
Monitor Installation
- Mounting: Choose between the table stand or suction cup bracket for monitor placement. Position the monitor where it provides a clear view without obstructing your driving visibility.
- Power Connection: Connect the monitor using either the USB power cable or the 12V car charger.

Important Note for Specific Vehicles (GMC/Chevrolet/Ford)
Newer GM vehicles (GMC, Chevrolet, Ford) may utilize Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) power signals. These signals can cause interference with the video system, leading to flickering, signal loss, or freezing. For optimal performance in such vehicles, it is recommended to install a Furrion 7-way adapter or a 12V PWM filter (sold separately) to regulate the power supply. Most non-GM vehicles do not require this solution. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or dealer to confirm if your vehicle uses PWM tail lights.
Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the monitor's functions for effective use of your backup camera system.
Monitor Display and Controls

- Display Modes: The multi-view monitor supports up to 4 camera feeds simultaneously. You can switch between full-screen view, split-screen (2, 3, or 4 cameras), and quad-split modes to eliminate blind spots.
- Image Flip: Adjust the camera image orientation as needed through the monitor settings.
- Guide Lines: Parking guide lines can be toggled on or off to assist with judging distance during reversing.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your WOOCARTY RV Backup Camera System, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor flickering, signal loss, or freezing | PWM power signals from vehicle (common in newer GM vehicles) | Install a Furrion 7-way adapter or a 12V PWM filter (sold separately) to regulate power. |
| No image on monitor | Camera or monitor not powered; loose connections; camera/monitor not paired. | Check all power connections. Ensure the camera and monitor are receiving power. Refer to pairing instructions if applicable (not detailed in provided data, assume auto-pairing). |
| Poor image quality or weak signal | Obstructions between camera and monitor; excessive distance; interference. | Ensure antennas are properly installed and unobstructed. Reposition components if possible to minimize interference. The system supports reliable signal up to 50ft for reversing or 36ft for continuous use. |
