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.

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

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
Reverse With Confidence
™
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 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

REAR VIEW SAFETY
Installation Guide
Camera
1. Attach camera bracket close to rear marker lights, centered
on vehicle.
2. Attach camera to bracket using screws provided and adjust
the angle.
Cable
1. Be sure to position the cable properly. The aviation camera
cable uses aircraft grade connectors which means the camera
cable can be exposed to all weather elements, do not run the
cable over sharp edges, do not kink the cable and keep away
from HOT and rotating parts.
2. Fasten all cable and secure all excess cable.
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)

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 yellow 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 and 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 activated and
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 therefor can
drain battery, therefore its
recommended to connect
power to an ignition switched
accessory power source.

Wiring Camera & Monitor
• Audio works on two ports of
multiplexer and positive triggers
must be triggered for audio to
operate. #3 Port labeled “backup”
(blue trigger) #2 port labeled
“DVD” (white Trigger).
• When installing a TWO (2)
camera setup, use ports #3 and
#2 and use positive triggers
Blue and White.
✦ 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.
✦ Infrared technology built into
camera IRs are activated automatically according to the
lighting conditions.
• 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.
✦ 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.
✦ Grid lines function can be
turned on/off by pushing
MENU 8 times and than select
ON/OFF
