Introduction
Please read all of the installation instructions
carefully before installing the product. Improper
installation will void manufacturer’s warranty.
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 ex-
ists 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 for-
ward of the back of the driver’s seat or in any location that is vis-
ible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the
vehicle.

REAR VIEW SAFETY
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
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 routed,
perform a system function test by temporarily connecting the
system. If the system seems to not be operating properly see
troubleshooting (page 22).

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 cables 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 the 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 & 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.

• Audio works on two ports of
multiplexer and positive
triggers must be triggered for
to operate. These are port

#3 labeled “backup” (blue
trigger) and port #2 labeled
“DVD” (white trig-ger).
• When installing a TWO (2)
camera setup, use ports #3 and
#2 and use positive triggers
Blue and White.
• There is a built-in voltage
regulator for our systems which
can handle 9-32 volts. Real

• 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 When using the postive trig-
ger 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.

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