CCTV system is a supplement to standard rear-view mirror
systems, and will provide additional rear-view vision when
installed and maintained properly.
It is not intended in any way to be a substitute for careful
and cautious driving.
All applicable trafc laws and motor safety regulations must
still be adhered to.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

1. This system operates from 10 volts DC to 32 volts DC,
negative ground.

2. Please install this system according to the instructions
in this manual.

3. Do not disassemble the camera or the monitor. This
voids the warranty. Disassembling the camera will
compromise the waterproof seal.

4. Connect the system to an ignition switched power
source. Connection to a battery source will reduce
battery life.

WARNING

1. To prevent electrical shock, DO NOT OPEN THE
MONITOR CASE.

There are potentially lethal voltages inside the monitor.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. If evidence of
tampering is detected, the warranty will be considered
void.

2. Keep monitor away from leaking water, rain, moisture
etc. It is NOT waterproof. Any moisture inside the
monitor could cause extensive damage.

3. Use the self-tapping screws to mount the monitor to the
dashboard or headliner.

INSTALLATION INSTR UCTIONS

VBV-600C CAMERA

1. Attach camera bracket (see Fig. 1) to upper portion of
vehicle. Attachment point must be sturdy enough to
support camera and bracket.

2. Attach camera to bracket using screws provided. Adjust
angle as indicated in Fig. 2. (Use rear bumper and back
of vehicle as a reference point.)

VBV-650M MONITOR

1. Attach monitor inside vehicle in a location convenient to
the driver (e.g. centre of dash, overhead or in dash).

3.

Adjust mounting angle of the monitor to allow driver to
easily view the screen from all seat positions. (See Fig. 3.)

CABLE

1. The camera to cable connection is waterproof. Be sure
to position the cable properly. The male end attaches to
the camera. The female end attaches to the main power
cable. (See Fig. 4.)

2. Do not run the cable over sharp edges or corners. Do
not kink the cable. Keep the cable away from hot and

rotating parts.

3. Place all excess cable in convoluted tubing.

4. Wire the cable securely.

WIRING CAMERA AND MONITOR

1. See wiring diagram for connections to ignition, ground
and back up circuit. (See Fig. 4.)

2. Wiring camera: Drill a 20mm (0.8in) diameter hole into
vehicle body near the camera and bracket. Connect
camera connector to extension cable in vehicle. Push
extra cable into vehicle (be careful not to kink cable) and
t grommet into hole. Apply sealant around grommet to
increase resistance to water penetration.

3. Wiring the monitor: Insert extension cable into Camera1
reversing camera position; if AV is used be sure to
have the correct cable. DO NOT bundle excess cable
together. Use a cable tie or vinyl tape. This will avoid
possible damage to cable during operation.

4. The red wire is connected to an ignition power source,
the black wire is connected to chassis ground, the
brown wire is connected to the vehicle’s back light
circuit.

5. ONLY PETROLEUM ROAD TANKE RS: All electrical
equipment tted to petroleum vehicles must be tted
via battery master switch and must be isolated from the
battery while the vehicle are loading and unloading.

6. Always consult your dealer when tting any electrical or
electronic equipment to a vehicle tted with a CAN-bus
or multiplex system.

CAUTION

1. DO NOT OPEN THE CAMERA CASE. This will
break the camera’s waterproof seal. If evidence of
tampering is detected, the warranty will be considered
void.

2. We do not recommend mounting the camera near the
lower area of the vehicle (e.g. bumper). This reduces the
view of the camera and increases the chance of physical
damage to the camera.

3. Use only the inner hexagonal screw and washers to
mount the camera.

MAINTENANCE

Remove dust and dirt with a damp soft cloth. Heavier
dirt should be removed with a damp soft cloth and mild
detergent. Do not use strong cleaning agents containing
gasoline, thinner, benzene or alcohol.
These substances may damage the exterior surface of
the monitor.

CAUTION

1. Before drilling, be sure no cable or wire is on the other
side. Be sure to drill a 20mm (0.8in) diameter hole only.

2. Feed as much cable as possible into vehicle and clamp
securely. This reduces the possibility of it being hooked
or snagged.

3. Keep all cables away from HOT, ROTATING and
ELECTRICALLY NOISY components.

4. To increase protection of cable, place all excess wire
and extension cable in convoluted tubing.

5. Do not twist camera cable and do not cut camera pigtail

or cable
