Vehicle Preparation & Protection
CAUTION
Consult your vehicle owner’s manual to disconnect the battery. Do not
disconnect ANY airbag connectors or indicators. Doing so may result in
activating a diagnostic code. These codes will require the dealer to perform
the reset procedure which may incur a reset fee. If you are unsure of any
vehicle trim removal process consult the OEM service manual.
Removing vehicle trim panels in extremely hot and/or cold climates could
result in damage. Use care when removing all vehicle trims. Using painter’s
blue tape on the vehicle trim panels can help limit any scratches and/or
marring. Use a nylon trim panel removal tool whenever possible.
NOTE
Consult the Vehicle owner’s guide before disconnecting the negative battery
cable
WARNING
DO NOT TOUCH the positive terminal with any tool when removing the negative

Camera/Video Interface Layout
EMUBCAMKIT
Universal Quad View Camera Kit
Step 1
Select a location for the Camera/Video Interface. Behind the glove box or
below the radio are both good locations. Ideally, the location should be
within two feet of the monitor being used. Run the USB extension to the
desired position to access the USB port for DVR recordings. Once all the
connections are made, the two-sided tape can be used to secure the module or
you can secure it with screws.
Step 2
Select a location for the Display Mode Switch and IR Receiver. The Display
Mode Switch should be easily reached by the driver. The IR Receiver should be
in the general area of where the IR Remote Control will be used. Mount both
the switch and the IR Receiver. Route the wire harness to the video interface
and plug it in the appropriate port.
Step 3
Positioning The Cameras:
The cameras can be placed anywhere; wheel wells, frames, bumpers, and axles.
Facing in any direction; forward, rearward, sideways.
Note: The cameras come with a mounting bracket at the top of the camera
(FIG A). If your application requires mounting cameras with the bracket at the
bottom of the camera (FIG B), the mounting bracket will need to be moved from
the top holes in the camera housing to the bottom holes so the camera image is
not upside-down.
A good idea is to temporarily position the cameras in the areas you would like
to view (FIG C), route the camera cables to the video interface, wire up the
system, and view the camera views on the monitor. With the help of another
person, you can fine-tune the camera view before permanently mounting the
cameras.
Mounting The Cameras:
The cameras should be mounted in positions that will not come in contact with
the terrain or moving parts of the vehicle. The cameras must be mounted using
both the two-sided tape and then screws or zip ties. Clean the mounting area
before adhering the camera in place.
Step 4
Routing The Camera Cables:
Attach a Camera Extension Cable to each camera and route the camera cables to
the video interface inside the vehicle. Follow the factory wiring harnesses
whenever possible.
Secure with zip ties. Most vehicles will have rubber grommets located in the
floor that will allow the cables to be safely passed from the outside to the
inside.
NOTE
Adding a piece tape and notating the camera position on the ends of the Camera
Extension Cables will make identification inside the vehicle
easier.
Step 5
For each camera; plug in a Camera Input
Adapter (1) into the video interface camera input. Align the arrows on the
Camera Input
Adapter and Camera Extension Cable (2) and connect the cables.
Step 6
DIP switches 1-2-3-4 on the side of the module correspond to Camera Inputs
1-2-3-4. For any camera that is facing toward the rear of the vehicle, set the
DIP switch to the ON (UP) position. This will “mirror” the video so it is
viewed correctly on the monitor.
DIP switch 5 and 6 set the Video Output Type: See page 15 for setting video
output once the unit is installed.
Wiring Guide
There are several different ways to connect the video interface to your
monitor source. We have included several Wiring Diagrams. NOTE: If you are
connecting to an after-market radio, you may need to remove the radio or refer
to the radio owner’s manual to determine how to wire the video interface.
All installations require the power/ground connections in Step 1 below. After
that, proceed to the Wiring Diagram that best matches your installation.
Step 1
On the 8-pin Power/Trigger plug:
A- Connect the Black wire to Ground
B- Connect the Red wire to Accessory +12V. (A source that turns ON-OFF with
the key)
C- Connect the Yellow Wire to Constant +12V
NOTE
If installed in a vehicle with an after-market radio, the power/ground
connections can be made behind the radio.
Wiring Guide 1
Follow these instructions if you are connecting to:
- Stand-alone monitor
- After-market radio with Rear camera input, No rear camera installed, and On-screen option to turn on camera.
- After-market Radio with two or more camera inputs (with one of them not being used) and an On-screen option to turn on the camera.
Step 1
Plug the Video Output Harness into the video interface.
Step 2
Connect either the CVBS or AHD RCA to the Video IN on the monitor. If the
monitor does not specifically say Analog High Definition, use CVBS. Insulate the
red and blue wires.
OR
Connect either the CVBS or AHD RCA to the Rear Camera IN on the After-market
radio. If the radio does not specifically say Analog High Definition, use CVBS.
Insulate the red and blue wires.
Test Set DIP switch 5 to the OFF (DOWN) position. Turn the key on. Power up
the monitor or radio. Select the correct input on the monitor, or select the
correct camera on the radio. See page 15 for setting video output.
Wiring Guide 2
Follow these instructions if you are connecting to:
- After-market radio with Rear camera input, a rear camera installed, and an On-screen option to turn on the camera
- Factory radio with a camera interface that can turn on the camera input manually.
This type of installation requires using the Power Switch and the PAC AVS-21 to switch the video signal between the rear camera and the video interface.
Step 1
Connect the Brown wire on the Power Switch to the Ground.
Step 2
Connect the Blue wire on the Power Switch to the Black wire on the AVS-21
harness.
Step 3
Connect the Red wire on the AVS-21 to Accessory +12V.
Note
The Power Switch needs to be reachable to switch the video signal from the
rear camera to the video interface.
Step 4
Plug the Video Output Harness into the video interface.
Step 5
Connect either the CVBS or AHD RCA to the AV2 IN on the AVS-21. If the radio
does not specifically say Analog High
Definition, use CVBS. Insulate the red and blue wires when not using.
Step 6
Unplug the rear camera RCA from the radios camera input and plug it into AV1
IN on the AVS-21.
Step 7
Plug the Yellow AV OUT RCA on the AVS-21 into the radio’s rear camera input.
Note
None of the white or red RCA’s on the AVS- 21 will be used.
Test
Set DIP switch 5 to the OFF (DOWN) position. Turn the key on. Power up the
radio. Select the rear camera on the radio. You should see either the rear
camera or the video interface. See page
15 for setting video output. Use the Power Switch to switch between the two
Setting the Video Output
The video interface can output four different video signals: AHD 30 fps, AHD 25 fps, CVBS NTSC, and CVBS PAL. The default setting on the initial power-up is CVBS NTSC. To change the default video signal adjust the Dip switches to the chart on the right.
Trigger Wires
The four trigger wires on the 8-pin Power/Trigger plug can be used to manually
activate each of the four cameras. When a trigger wire receives +12V, the
corresponding camera will be displayed.
These can be connected to switches to instantly turn on a selected camera.
