Physical connection
The AiM loggers built to manage rear cameras are provided with a female metallic 5pins Binder
connector, placed on the device bottom and labelled as “VIDEO IN” (following image).
The Video In connector allows the connection of two different analog cameras, that may be activated as
here down described.
There is a wide number of analog cameras on the market. We have tested one of them, of which the
Amazon Code is: ASIN B01H1RFZYA .
This camera offers a couple of interesting options:
•the possibility to reverse the image
•the possibility to enable or disable the parking overlay view.

Configuration through Race Studio 3
Once the connection has been executed, it is necessary to configure the device, defining a specific event
that causes the camera image displaying. For example, if you wish to turn ON the camera when you
insert the Reverse Gear, these are the steps to follow:
•Open Race Studio 3, connect your system via Wi-Fi or USB and create a new configuration (or modify
an existing one).
•The Gear, of course, is supposed to be one of the available channels. It is possible to obtain it:
oThrough analog sensor, plugging it
into one of the device analog
channels, which must be configured
as expressed on the right (Channels
tab). The “Use reverse gear” box
must be ticked.
oThrough ECU, selecting the
compatible protocol with your
vehicle ECU from the ECU Stream
tab.

Settings through AiM device menu
The camera parameters setting must be executed from the device menu directly, as explained below:
•Press “MENU/<<” button.
•Pressing “PREV and “NEXT”, move on the VIDEO IN icon and press “ENTER”.
•The system offers the possibility to set the image format (PAL or NTSC –according to the camera
technical specs), brightness and contrast for each available input.
If no key is pressed, after 5 seconds the menu disappears, showing the camera image in live streaming,
so that it can be better positioned.
