NOTE! Please read all of the installation instructions
carefully before installing the product. Improper
installation will void manufacturer’s warranty.
Congratulations on purchasing a Safety
Camera System!
With this manual you will be able to properly install and
operate the unit.
This system is intended to be installed as a
supplement aid to your standard rear view mirror that already exists
in your vehicle. The 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 aTV viewer or screen located forward of
the back of the driver’s seat or in any location that is visible, directly
or indirectly, to the driver while operating the vehicle.

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
trac and motor vehicle regulations as it pertains to this product.
Improper installation will void manufacturer’s warranty.
•The system is designed to help the
driver safely detect people and/or
objects helping to avoid damage
or injury. However, you the driv-
er, 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 vehi-
cle when backing up, in the same
way as you would if the vehicle did
not have the system. If you back up
while looking only at the monitor,
you may cause damage or injury.
Always back up slowly.
•The system is not intended for use
during extensive back-up maneu-
vers or backing into cross trac or
pedestrian walkways.
•Please, always remember, the area
displayed by the system is limited.
It does not display the entire pan-
orama that is behind you.

SAFETY INFORMATION

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/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.

WIRING
•To power the system connect the power (RED) 12V+ wire to igni-
tion power and the ground (BLACK) wire to chassis ground.
• These are the only wires needed to power the entire system
and all the cameras. Each camera can be seen at any time by simply
pressing the power button and using the V1/2 button to toggle.
• The three positive trigger wires (WHITE-CH1, BROWNCH2, BLUE-
CH3) each represent one channel and will turn on their channel
when the trigger wire is energized with 12V.
• "Camera 3" is the designated backup channel. To have the the
backup camera come on when you go into reverse, connect the
BLUE wire to reverse power (or any power source that comes on
only in reverse).
• The other channels can similarly be triggered (i.e. side cameras
can be triggered by the turn signals etc.)
•To automatically have camera and monitor turn ON when vehicle
activates, simply twist BLUE positive trigger 12V+ to Red Power
line 12V+ and wire to ignition power.
