Insane IACAM2 User manual
IACAM2 is a universal, rugged, waterproof camera that can
be used either as a front-facing camera for rocks/obstacles or
as a reverse assist camera, when mounted to the rear of your
vehicle.
While this product is designed specifically for Insane Audio’s
head units, it will work in other applications. This Installation
Guide will focus only on Installation with Insane Audio’s
JK1001.
Installation is fairly straightforward. However, if you are not
entirely sure how to properly install this item, we highly
recommend consulting a professional installation technician.
Your JK1001 has an accessory pigtail with a number of
different connections available. This pigtail plugs directly into
the rear of your JK1001. Note the VIDEO IN and CAM IN ports
below.
IACAM2 can be mounted just about anywhere you’d like on
your vehicle but is designed to be flush mounted on a flat
surface such as in a bumper. Your IACAM2 should have come
with a special drill bit to assist in mounting properly.
Wherever you decide to mount it, we recommend placing the
camera in your desired location and checking the viewing
angle on your JK1001 before permanently mounting.
1. Place the camera in the desired location.
(If you plan on using the included hole saw and
mounting hardware to flush mount the camera, please
temporarily affix the camera where you plan on
mounting it, to ensure a good viewing angle first.)
2. Tap in to your reverse light circuit for power.
3. Run the video extension cable from your IACAM2 to
the CAM IN port on your JK1001
4. Seal all connections with waterproof tape or wire
connectors
5. Test your camera by placing your vehicle in reverse,
adjust the viewing angle as necessary. Mount camera
to vehicle when proper angle is reached.
Insane Audio’s JK1001 is pre-wired to automatically work with
a reverse camera and your camera should automatically
display when the vehicle is in reverse.
If your IACAM2 is plugged into the CAM IN port (for backup
camera applications) then there are a few options in the
settings menu that you might want to know about.
ReversingX-Mirror –This allows you to reverse images on
your backup camera so it looks the same as an image in your
rearview mirror.
Rear volume –This adjusts the volume of any music playing
while you are backing up. For safety reasons, the default
setting for this is to stop all music when you are backing up.
Rear view ruler –This turns on or off parking guidelines
1. Place the camera in the desired location.
(If you plan on using the included hole saw and
mounting hardware to flush mount the camera, please
temporarily affix the camera where you plan on
mounting it.)
2. Power your camera from a switched 12V source.
3. Run the video extension cable from your IACAM2 to
the VIDEO IN port on your JK1001
4. Seal all connections with waterproof tape or wire
connectors
You can access your front camera through the AVIN app.
Insane Audio’s JK1001 is pre-wired to automatically work with
a reverse camera and your camera should automatically
display when the vehicle is in reverse.
Once everything is properly connected, if you place your
vehicle in reverse and you see a “No Signal” warning, then
that means that you aren’t getting a clear signal to the CAM IN
port. Be sure to double-check that your power and video
connections are solid.
If everything is properly connected and you are still unable to
see images from the camera when in reverse, be sure that the
CAMERA wire on your JK1001 is properly connected.
The IACAM2 comes with an 18.5mm hole saw bit for a power drill.
This bit can be used to flush-mount your IACAM2 in to your vehicle.
To do this:
1. Ensure the area you want to install your camera has been
tested for viewing angles on your JK1001.
2. Be sure that there are no wires or hoses in the area that the
hole will be drilled.
3. Mark the center of your hole to be drilled.
4. After installing the hole saw properly in to a power drill,
place the protruding drill bit on to the center you just
marked.
5. Drill through the area you want, making sure the hole saw
goes all the way through the area you are drilling.
6. Unscrew the mounting collar from the front of the camera.
7. Place the camera and metal tension collar in the hole, from
the back, so that the lens is facing the desired direction.
8. Screw the mounting collar on to the camera from the front
of the hole.
9. Verify that your viewing angles are still correct and make
any needed adjustments, then tighten mounting collar on
camera completely.
