Rear Camera Wiring Instructions

1. Dash camera
2. Connected to reversing light
3. Outside the car bracket
4. Inside the car bracket

Note:
The rear camera has two wire routing options, both of which conceal the wire along the edges of the door.

1. Connect the rear camera  cable to the mirror
   Plug the rear camera cable into the AV interface of the unit.

2. Rear camera cable routing

   • Route the rear camera cable to the rear of the car, leaving some slack. Insert the cable into the gap in the front windshield and along the upper end of the door using the included tool.
   • If you choose to install the rear camera inside your car, fix it on the rear windshield after routing the wiring.

3. Remove the panel
   Open the trunk and remove the interior panel that covers the other side of the license plate mount area. Use a trim removal tool or other thin device to pry the panel open.

4. Fix the rear camera and connect the cables
   Fix the rear camera near the license plate light with 3M glue, and connect the rear camera cable through the license plate light hole to the rear camera cable.

5. Connect the red wire to the reverse light’s positive terminal
   Find the positive terminal of the reverse light. This is the terminal that has voltage when the car is in reverse gear. To find it, step on the brakes, put the car in reverse gear and measure the voltage at each terminal. The terminal with voltage is the positive terminal. Strip the positive cable and wrap it with the red cable from the camera. Insulate the connection with electrical tape. Test the connection by putting the car in reverse gear and seeing if the dash cam enters reverse mode.

GPS Installation

Position 1:
Install the dash cam in the right corner of the central console and hide the wiring along the edge of the front windshield using double-sided tape.

• Considering the use effect and installation convenience, we usually recommend customers install it at position 1.
• You may also test different locations for the dash cam to find the one that works best for you. Just make sure that the black side is facing up to receive the GPS signal.
• Once the GPS is installed, the GPS icon on the home screen will appear. After the GPS signal has been received, the device’s GPS will show direction and speed.

Trouble Shooting

• Can the Wi-Fi feature be obtained by upgrading the firmware?

  • The G840H Wi-Fi is a hardware upgrade from a previous version, and its Wi-Fi feature cannot be available through a firmware upgrade.

• Can rear camera images be transmitted wirelessly?

  • The G840H Wi-Fi comes with a rear camera cable through which the rear camera video is transmitted. The Wi-Fi feature is only used to connect the phone to the dash cam.

• Is it possible to monitor the vehicle remotely via Wi-Fi on the G840H?
  Considering the limited Wi-Fi range, it is not possible to monitor the vehicle remotely via the App connecting to G840H.

• Rear camera image blurred or not detected?

  • For “Blurred rear image” issue, please make sure that the protective film on the lens is removed and wipe the lens with a cleaner. If the focusing issues are caused by high temperatures, please contact us for support.
