1. Product/Service Description
1.1 Product Context
A battery powered wireless camera product that is specifically designed for tractor trailer
vehicles and/or unmarried vehicles on the road. This camera system will provide a
removable (magnetic) camera and monitoring solution to better assist drivers overcome
the blind spots around their tractors and trailers.
1.2. UserCharacteristics
Tractor Trailers are among the largest vehicles on the road. Because of their size and the amount of
deliveries they make, they are often times found required to maneuver in very tight spaces at the delivery
destinations, along our highways or parking structures. Currently, because the tractor and trailer are not
permanently connected to each other, there is no way to run cables to and from the cab of the tractor back
to the trailer, especially since the tractor usually operates different trailers. This solution is using wireless
RF technology and a combination of specially designed magnetics, cameras, and rechargeable batteries.
Most trailers (93%+) do not have power being sent from the tractor to the trailer. A battery powered
wireless solution addresses this need in the automotive industry.Solution: This wireless camera system can
be attached to any trailer, in a nonpermanent manner, using magnets and batteries enclosed in a single
housing where the camera is located. Today, while the driver is backing into a loading dock or driving in a
“populated” parking lot/structure, he is often required to have a spotter and turn on his flashers and use his
mirrors. This magnetic, rechargeable, wireless camera can now be attached to any part of the trailer and
provide immediate infrared, night vision, video to the cab through an existing or one of our proprietary
monitors. The camera will NOT “crosstalk” with any other cameras as it is individually paired with a
monitor/receiver at any given time. Following product generations will add a solar panel and permanently
mounted camera, recharged using photovoltaic cells.
1.3.Operation
This wireless backup camera system is designed to be used temporarily for difficult
tractor/trailer maneuvers; it is NOT A PERMANENT SYSTEM FOR DRIVING ON
THE ROAD.
WARNING: The driver must insure that the unit is removed from the back of the
trailer before continuing driving.
The monitor unit has a secondary Red LED indication that pairing was interrupted.
2. Precautions
● Storage and keeping
1. Do not expose the monitor to excessive heat or cold. The storage temperature of
this device is -20 ~+65Ԩ, and the operating temperature is -10 ~+65Ԩ. The
Humidity is Rh90%.
2. Never use this device near a bathtub, wash basin, kitchen, damp basement,
swimming pool or similar place.
3. Never use this device in environments with excessive moisture, dust or smoke.

4. Avoid dropping or striking this device.
5. Avoid using this device in enclosed spaces, areas with excessive vibration or
subject to severe impacts.
6. Never puncture, scratch or use abrasive cleaning materials on this device.
7. Do not place cables where they may be pinched or stepped on.
8. Leave at least a 2”space between the unit and walls, or other objects to allow
adequate air circulation around the unit.
9. The wireless camera must be removed and stored back in the driver cabin before
continuing driving.
● Operating Precautions
1. The device has a Lithium Ion battery. Charging can be powered by a 12 volt
automotive battery or vehicle electrical system.
2. For monitor/Receiver and Charger, make sure all cables are connected properly
observe polarity. Improper cable connections may damage the system. Remove
the power cable connections when you do not intend to use the unit.

SDRAM controller, USB OTG controller, DMA controller and smart power saving
mechanism to be a very powerful SOC platform. Some interfaces like video capture,
LCD controller, TV encoder with 1-channel DA, audio AD/DA with digital filters, I2S,
SPI are very suitable for audio / video applications.
Product Overview 6763 chip (Richwave)
RTC6763 is a 2.4GHz ISM band HDR (high data rate) FH (frequency hopping)
transceiver. The device is a single chip solution with integrated MAC, BBP and RF for
wireless application operating in 2.4GHz band. It provides three types of digital
modulation 16QAM/QPSK/BPSK, and on-air data rate support 12Mbps/6Mbps/3Mbps.
It provide 80 overlay channels, and each channel can be independently enable or disable
with hopping table. Just enabling one channel with hopping table setting RTC6763 can
operate at fixed frequency, or enabling several channels with hopping table setting
RTC6763 can operate as FH transceiver to reduce co-channel interference. Using smart
interference detection algorithm hopping table can be updated by SPI digital interface,
and this feature allows RTC6763 to avoid other interferences in 2.4 GHz band.
RTC6763 with TDD (Time Division Duplex) functionality creates a centralized network
with one master to coordinate up to four slaves. The system can operate in single mode (1
master with 1 salve) or multiple display mode (1 master with up to 4 slaves). Mode
switching can be performed on the fly. It is available in a 40-pin QFN 6mmX6mm
package and RoHS certificate.
