Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing a Rear View Backup Camera System.

With this manual you will be able to properly install and operate the

unit.

The Backup Camera System is intended to be installed as a

supplement aid to your standard rear view mirror that already

exists in your vehicle. The Backup Camera System should not be

used as a substitute for the standard rear view mirror or for any

other mirror that exists in your vehicle.

In some jurisdictions, it is unlawful for a person to drive a

motor vehicle equipped with a TV viewer or screen located

forward of the back of the driver’s seat or in any location that

is visible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the

vehicle.

Please read all of the installation instructions

carefully before installing the product. Improper

installation will void manufacturer’s warranty.

Safety Information

Please read the entire manual and follow the instructions and
warnings carefully. Failure to do so can cause serious damage
and/or injury, including loss of life. Be sure to obey all applica­ble local traffic and motor vehicle regulations as it pertains to
this product. Improper installation will void manufacturer’s

warranty.

USAGE

• The Rear View Camera System

is designed to help the driver
safely detect people and/or
objects helping to avoid
damage or injury. However,
you the driver, must use it
properly. Use of this system is
not a substitute for safe,
proper or legal driving.

• Never back up while looking

at the monitor alone. You
should always check behind
and around the vehicle when
backing up, in the same way
as you would if the vehicle
did not have the Rear View

Camera System. If you back
up while looking only at the
monitor, you may cause
damage or injury. Always
back up slowly.

• The Rear View Camera Sys-

tem is not intended for use
during exstensive back-up
maneuvers or backing into
cross traffic or pedestrian
walkways.

• Please, always remember,

the area displayed by the
Rear View Camera System is
limited. It does not display
the entire panorama that is
behind you.

Before Beginning Installation

Before drilling please check that no cable or wiring is on the
other side of the wall. Please clamp all wires securely to reduce
the possibility of them being damaged while vehicle is in use.
Keep all cables away from hot or moving parts and electrical
noisy components.

We recommend doing a benchmark test before installation
to insure that all components are working properly.

Step 1: Choose the monitor and camera locations.

Step 2: Install all cables in vehicle, when necessary a 0.8 (20mm)
hole should be drilled for passing camera cable through vehicles
walls. Install split grommets where applicable

Step 3: Once all cables and wiring have been properly placed
routed, perform a system function test by temporarily connecting
he system. If the system seems to not be operating properly see
troubleshooting (page 17)

Installation Guide

Camera

1. Attach camera bracket close to rear marker lights, centered
on vehicle (Figure 1.5 number 5).

2. Attach camera to bracket using screws provided and adjust
the angle.

Cable + Quick Connect/Disconnect Kit

1. The cable on this system is split into three parts, two camera

cables that end with Quick Connect terminals and a Pigtail Cable.

2. The first camera cable (26') mounts on the tow vehicle. It runs

from the cab to the back of the tow vehicle where it is mounted
flush to the vehicle (Figure 1.5 number 2).

3. The second cable (66') mounts on the trailer. It runs from the

camera on the back of the trailer up to the front of the trailer
where it is mounted flush to the vehicle (Figure 1.5 number 3).

4. To complete the connection, just connect the Pigtail Cable to

both terminals and the circuit is complete (Figure 1.5 number 4).

Monitor

1. To Attach the Pedestal mount to the dashboard or
to the headliner using self-tapping screws and/or
adhesive pad.

2. Attach monitor to mount, and adjust mounting angle to allow
optimum driver viewing comfort. (see figure 1.1 on page 12)

Tip: Start wiring from the end with the quick connect bracket. In
other words, first install the quick connect bracket and then run
the cabling through the truck or the trailer.

Wiring Camera & Monitor

• When installing a ONE (1)

camera setup, connect camera
extension cable from the rear
view camera to port labeled
“backup” (most systems port #3)
Connect red 12V+ wire to
ignition power source and black
wire 12V- to chassis ground. Do
not use white and brown wires.

• The blue wire is the REVERSE

trigger wire. In typical rear-view
installations, connecting this
wire to the vehicle’s backup
light circuit will activate the
rear-view image whenever the
vehicle shifts into reverse.

• Before drilling, be sure no cable

or wire is on the other side.

• Feed as much cable as possible

into vehicle & clamp securely.
This reduces the possibility of
cable being hooked or snagged.

• Camera: Drill a 20mm (0.8in)

diameter hole into vehicle
body near the camera and
bracket. Insert camera cable into
vehicle (be careful not to kink

cable) and fit grommet into
hole. Apply sealant around
grommet to increase resistance
to water penetration.
Connect camera to the
camera extension cable which
runs inside the vehicle.

• The camera system can be wired

to be powered “ON” the entire
time the vehicle is on. This is
typical in RV and some
commercial applications.

• The camera and monitor

can always be activated by
manually pushing the power
button on monitor. This is in
addition to utilizing the positive
triggers.

Note: If connecting power

directly to battery, the camera

is always ON and therefore can

drain battery. Therefore it is

recommended to connect

power to an ignition switched

accessory power source.

Wiring Camera & Monitor

• Audio works on two ports, ports

2 and 3. The blue trigger for
port 3 must be activated (12V)
for the sound. For port 2 it will
work with no triggers.

• When installing a TWO (2)

camera setup, use ports #3 and
#2 and use positive triggers
Blue and

Brown.

• There is a built-in voltage

regulator for our systems which
can handle 9-32 volts. Real
consumption is 10 to 30 Volts.

• When installing all THREE (3)

cameras, use all three ports and
connect all positive triggers to
appropriate connections.

• To activate grid lines connect

the blue trigger to a power
source. If you want the grid
lines to be on when reversing,
connect the blue trigger to
reverse power. If you want the
grid lines to be on all the time
connect the blue trigger to a
constant power.

F To automatically have camera

and monitor turn ON when
vehicle activates, simply twist
BLUE positive trigger 12V+ to
Red Power line 12V+ and wire
to ignition power which can
be an accessory switch/fuse
line and black wire 12V- to
chassis ground.

F Infrared technology built

into camera IRs are activated
automatically according to the

lighting conditions.

F When using the postive trigger

functions (blue, yellow & white
wires) each trigger function
needs to work on a seperate
12V+ source i.e. the Yellow
and White wires can be wired
to a turn signal circuit etc.

F Grid lines function can be

turned on/off by manually
from menu. (See page 14)
