Wiring Instruction

Power on the camera by connecting the Red positive wire to 10 – 32 VDC power source, Black to Negative/Ground source, and connecting the camera plug.

PLEASE MAKE SURE GREEN WIRES UNCONNECTED

Camera Wiring Method 2:

Notice: Button invalid when triggering function activated. If you use the camera for long-hour observation, please do not follow Camera Wiring Method 2.
Connecting the camera plug and Green wires. Connecting the red and green wire to 10-32VDC power source, connect the Black wire to Negative/Ground source.
This wiring method can achieve camera triggering function. For example, if the green camera triggering wire is connected to the left turn signal light, the monitor will switch to this camera every time the left turn signal light is turned on.
For multi cameras, triggering function can help switch the screen display automatically without manually switching channels of cameras to avoid diverting the driver’s attention during driving.

Monitor Wiring:
Connect the monitor to the cigarette lighter power adapter. Power the monitor through the vehicle’s 12V cigarette lighter.

For additional cameras, cameras can be paired separately to CAM1 /CAM2/CAM3/CAM4.
Please refer to page 20 PAIRING.

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. Please connect monitor and camera as below picture
   

2. Pairing the camera to the monitor, please refer to page 20 PAIRING. 4 cameras can be paired separately to CAM1/CAM2/CAM3/CAM4.

3. Put the monitor and the camera at the intended position to test signal strength.
   

If signal strength of the position that you planned to install a camera is under 3 bars, please change to another position, or mount the camera higher to make sure the antenna highest of the top without being blocked.

Please refer to below pictures:

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 vehicle’s roof, and move the antenna outward 15-30 degree.
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 3 bars.

Installation

1. Antennas should be vertically lined to the ground. Make sure there is no obstacle around antennas.
   

2. Magnet based extension antenna should be attached on the top of the vehicle. Make sure there is no obstacle around.
   

If you get poor signal reception, or signal cannot reach at least 2 bars, keep the antennas perpendicular and adjust the angle of antenna to find the best signal reception position.
