- Method 2: Press the [PAIR button] on the monitor first ➡️, and then press the [Power button] on the camera (the camera is turned off). After successful pairing, the monitor will display the image captured by the camera.
Note: To realize remote power on/off, the camera must be paired on the channel of CAM4.
Automatic Standby
Unplug the charger when charging; the camera will automatically enter standby mode after 5 minutes. Under normal working conditions, if the monitor is turned off or the camera loses signal for over 1 minute, the camera will automatically enter standby mode.
Indicators
Indicator Status | Description |
---|---|
Indicators OFF | The standby current of the camera after manually entering deep sleep state is 60uA, and the camera can be stored for a long time while the battery is fully charged. Note: If you need to store the camera for a long time, please disconnect the solar panel, otherwise the solar panel will automatically recharge under certain conditions, prompting the camera to exit the deep sleep state. |
Red Indicator ON | Reverse positive and negative polarity. |
1st Indicator ON and 4th Indicator Blinking | The battery temperature is greater than 65°C/149°F. The camera will stop charging and working. The camera will resume charging and working automatically when the battery temperature returns to normal. Note: If the temperature is often too high, please keep the product away from heat sources. |
Second and Third Indicators Blinking | Load short-circuit. |
Second Indicator Blinking and 4th Indicator ON | Charging voltage is higher than 16V (every 10 seconds the second indicator flashes and 4th indicator lights up for 2 seconds). |
Charging and Discharging
Method | Details |
---|---|
Charging by DC Adaptor | Supports DC 5-16V, battery can be fully charged in 5.5 hours with DC 12V. |
Charging by Solar Panel | The 9V 8W solar panel can fully charge the camera battery in 48 hours when there is enough light and the camera is not working. |
Discharging when Solar Panel Disconnected | The camera can work for 14 hours with a fully charged battery (at 25°C/77°F with night light turned off). |
Discharging when Solar Panel Connected | If the camera works for 4 hours a day, the solar panel can keep the camera working continuously (abundant sunlight and 25°C/77°F). |
8 Wiring Instruction
Camera and Solar Panel Wiring Method:
The camera connects to the solar panel using a magnetic mount. Ensure the magnetic part is attached to the metal plate for secure connection.
Monitor Wiring:
Connect the monitor to the cigarette lighter power adapter. Power the monitor through the vehicle's 12V cigarette lighter or USB Type-C.
For more cameras, extra cameras can be paired separately to CAM1/CAM2/CAM3/CAM4. Please refer to page 18 PAIRING.
Solar Panel Extension Cord: If the solar panel is mounted close to the camera, it can be used without connecting the solar panel extension cord.
9 Installation
Please find best signal reception position before installation
The metal body of the vehicle can attenuate wireless signal strength sharply. It is necessary to test the signal strength before installation.
1. Connect Monitor and Camera: Connect the monitor and camera as shown in the diagrams.
2. Pairing the Camera: Pair the camera to the monitor. Refer to page 19 PAIRING. 4 cameras can be paired separately to CAM1/CAM2/CAM3/CAM4.
3. Test Signal Strength: Place the monitor and the camera at the intended position to test signal strength.
Signal Strength Indicators:
- Good signal: Display shows strong signal bars.
- Poor signal: Display shows weak signal bars.
If the signal strength of the planned installation position is under 2 bars, please change to another position, or mount the camera higher to ensure the antenna is at the highest point without being blocked. Refer to the following pictures for guidance.
Installation Position 1:
Mount the camera higher than your vehicle's roof, keeping the antenna vertical.
Installation Position 2:
Mount the camera lower but as close as possible to the vehicle's roof, and move the antenna outward 15-30 degrees. The antennas' proximity to any metal surfaces on the vehicle may affect signal strength.
❗ Special Notice: After position adjustment, you can start installation if your signal strength is still above 2 bars.
Image freezing may occur when the vehicle is 42-65ft long and the antenna is mounted in a poor location (the antenna is not placed on the roof of the vehicle or there is obstruction around the antenna). In this case, it is recommended to purchase the Haloview 10M or 12M antenna extension cable and place it on the roof without any obstacles.
Antenna Placement Advice:
- It is recommended to choose an antenna length that is 2-3ft longer than the length of the RV.
- To achieve better signal, it is recommended to purchase the Haloview antenna extension cable and place it in front of the RV, near the roof, without any obstacles.
If you get poor signal reception, or signal cannot reach at least 2 bars, please keep the antennas perpendicular and adjust the angle of the antenna to find the best signal reception position.

10 Troubleshooting
The symptoms described below do not necessarily mean a failure within the display. Please check the following items before you initiate a request for repair.
Symptoms | Possible Causes/Solutions |
---|---|
No picture | Improper connection of automobile adapter. Use of unauthorized power supply. Power switch is OFF. Please re-pairing the system. Refer to page 19 PAIRING. |
No sound | Check whether the camera is powered on. Please check whether antennas are plugged on both monitor and camera. Please check the angle of the antenna. Please check whether metal obstacles are near the antenna. Please re-pairing the system. Refer to page 19 PAIRING. |
No sound | Check whether the sound volume is turned off or set too low. |
Dark picture | Check whether brightness and contrast are adjusted correctly. |
No color | Adjust the HUE settings. |
