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

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 17).

Installation Guide
Camera Installation
1. Attach camera bracket close to rear marker lights, centered on vehicle.
2. 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.
3. eed as much cable as possible into vehicle & clamp securely. This reduces the pos-
sibility of cable being hooked or snagged. The aviation camera cable uses aircraft
grade connectors which means the camera cable can be exposed to all weather ele-
ments.
4. Attach camera to bracket using screws provided and adjust the angle.
Wiring Camera
5. The power harness on this unit has 4 camera ports (BLUE-BACKUP, YELLOW-LE T,
BROWN-RIGHT, and BLACK- RONT.)
6. Each camera should be connected to its corresponding port. All that is needed for
the system to work is to connect the POWER (red) to 12V and the GROUND (black).
7. 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.
8. As you may have noticed, there are also 3 multi-colored wires (blue, brown, yellow).
These are trigger wires, and when they are energized (12V) they will turn on their cor-
responding channel. The Blue wire will also turn on gridlines and sound.
9. 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.

Installation Guide
FInfrared technology built
into camera IRs are activated
automatically according to the
lighting conditions.
FWhen 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.
FGrid lines function can be
turned on/off by manually
from menu. (See page 13)
Monitor
1. To Attach the Pedestal mount to the dashboard or to the headliner use 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 11)
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.
