4. Configuration et installation

The AUTO-VOX CAM7 offers multiple mounting options and is designed for straightforward installation. Ensure the vehicle's power is off before beginning any wiring.

4.1 options de montage

The camera can be mounted using the included screw (standard or longer stud) or the 3M adhesive pad, providing flexibility for various vehicle surfaces.

Diagram showing three mounting options: longer-stud, standard-stud, and adhesive only.

Les emplacements d'installation courants incluent :

Devant View: Horizontal mount, often near the grille.
Arrière View: Vertical mount, typically above the license plate, near a brake light, or on a 5th wheel.
Côté View: Can be adapted for side mirror or other side-facing applications.

4.2 Schéma de câblage

Follow the wiring diagram carefully to ensure proper functionality. The camera operates on 12 Volts DC.

Wiring diagram showing connections for the backup camera: red wire to power (+12V, often reversing lamp), black wire to ground (GND), and RCA cable to monitor's video input. Also shows trigger wire connection.

Figure 4.3: Wiring Diagram for AUTO-VOX CAM7.

Connectez le Fil rouge to a 12V power source (e.g., reversing lamp for backup camera function, or an accessory fuse for constant power).
Connectez le Fil noir to a reliable ground point (GND) on the vehicle chassis.
Connectez le Câble RCA from the camera to the video input port on your display device (monitor, head unit, etc.).
If your display device has a trigger wire for camera activation (e.g., for reverse gear), connect the camera's trigger wire (often integrated into the RCA cable) to the display's trigger input.

Note on Wire Gauge: Some users have reported that the camera's wires are very thin. When making connections, ensure a secure splice or consider soldering for optimal contact, especially if using standard wire taps.

4.3 Compatibilité des signaux

The CAM7 supports CVBS (default) and AHD video signals. It is primarily designed for PAL TV systems. If your monitor is not compatible with the default CVBS PAL signal, you may need to adjust the camera's settings.

Table detailing video transmission protocols (CVBS, AHD), TV systems (PAL, NTSC), and video resolutions supported by AUTO-VOX CAM7 PRO. Shows that CVBS is default, AHD 1080P 25fps/30fps are supported, and NTSC is not supported.

Figure 4.4: Video Signal Compatibility Table.

To switch to AHD 1080P PAL, select "AHD 1080P PAL" in your monitor's video signal setting, and then cut the green wire on the camera's cable. The CAM7 PRO does not support NTSC TV signals.

4.4 Image Orientation

The camera supports various image orientations (mirror, normal, upright, inverted) which can be configured by manipulating specific wires on the camera cable. Refer to the detailed instructions provided with the camera for specific wire cutting procedures to achieve desired image effects.

5. Mode d'emploi

Once installed and powered, the AUTO-VOX CAM7 camera will transmit video feed to your connected display device. The operation largely depends on how it is integrated with your vehicle's system (e.g., automatically activating when reverse gear is engaged, or manually switched on).

Mise sous tension : The camera receives power from the connected 12V source. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is on if connected to an accessory power source.
Activer l'affichage : The video feed will appear on your monitor when the camera is powered and the display is set to the correct input. For backup camera use, this typically occurs when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.
Qualité d'image: The camera provides a crisp, clear image with a 180° ultra-wide angle. The 0.1 Lux low-light sensitivity ensures visibility even in very dark conditions.

6. Entretien

The AUTO-VOX CAM7 is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance.

Nettoyage: Nettoyez régulièrement l'objectif de l'appareil photo avec un chiffon doux et sec.amp chiffon pour enlever la saleté, la poussière ou les taches d'eau qui pourraient obstruer le viewÉvitez les nettoyants abrasifs.
Inspection: Regularly check the mounting point and wiring connections to ensure they remain secure and free from damage.
Imperméabilisation : The IP69K rating ensures high resistance to water and dust. No special waterproofing maintenance is required under normal use.

7. Dépannage

If you encounter issues with your AUTO-VOX CAM7 camera, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problème	Cause possible	Solution
No image on display / Black screen	La caméra n'est pas alimentée. Connexion RCA lâche Entrée vidéo incorrecte sélectionnée sur le moniteur Incompatible video signal (NTSC vs. PAL/AHD)	Check power connections (red wire to 12V, black wire to ground). Assurez-vous que le câble RCA est correctement connecté aux deux extrémités. Verify the monitor is set to the correct video input. Confirm camera is set to CVBS PAL or AHD PAL as per monitor compatibility. If necessary, cut the green wire to switch to AHD 1080P PAL (refer to Section 4.3).
Image scintillante	Alimentation électrique instable Mauvaise connexion à la terre Interférences électriques	Ensure a stable 12V power source. Verify the ground connection is solid and free of corrosion. Check for any loose wiring or interference from other vehicle electronics.
Distorted or "fisheye" image	Normal wide-angle lens effect Incorrect image orientation setting	The 180° wide-angle lens inherently produces some distortion at the edges; this is normal for wide-angle cameras. If the image is mirrored or inverted unexpectedly, refer to the camera's specific instructions for cutting wires to adjust image orientation (refer to Section 4.4).
Image quality is poor / Blurry	Lentille sale Low resolution setting Display device limitations	Nettoyez l'objectif de la caméra avec un chiffon doux. Ensure the camera is transmitting in AHD 1080P if your monitor supports it (cut green wire). Verify your display device supports the camera's resolution.
Guidelines are incorrect or duplicated	Both camera and display providing guidelines	The camera may have a wire to disable its internal guidelines. Consult the camera's specific instructions for this. Alternatively, disable guidelines on your display unit if it has this option.
