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 ex-
ists 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 vis-
ible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the
vehicle.
Please read all of the installation instructions
carefully before installing the product. Improper
installation will void manufacturer’s warranty.

Camera System. If you back
up while looking only at the
monitor, you may cause
damage or injury. Always
back up slowly.
•The Rear View Camera Sys-
tem is not intended for use
during exstensive back-up
maneuvers or backing into
cross traffic or pedestrian
walkways.
•Please, always remember,
the area displayed by the
Rear View Camera System is
limited. It does not display
the entire panorama that is
behind you.

Before You Begin 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 22).

Installation Guide
Camera
1. Attach camera bracket close to rear marker lights, centered
on vehicle.
2. Attach camera to bracket using screws provided and adjust
the angle.
Cable
1. Be sure to position the cable properly. The aviation camera
cable uses aircraft grade connectors which means the camera
cable can be exposed to all weather elements, do not run the
cable over sharp edges, do not kink the cable and keep away
from HOT and rotating parts.
2. asten all cable and secure all excess cable.
Monitor
1. The Mirror Monitor attaches to the existing rear view mirror in
vehicle with the pressurized clips on the back of the monitor.
2. Attach monitor to existing mirror, and adjust mounting angle
to allow optimum driver viewing comfort. (see figure 1.1 on
page 12).

Wiring Camera & Monitor
REAR VIEW SAFETY
•When installing a ONE (1)
camera setup, connect camera
extension cable from the rear
view camera to port labeled
“backup” (most systems port #3)
Connect red 12V+ wire to
ignition power source and black
wire 12V- to chassis ground. Do
not use white and yellow wires.
•The blue wire is the REVERSE
trigger wire. In typical rear-view
installations, connecting this
wire to the vehicle’s backup
light circuit will activate the
rear-view image whenever the
vehicle shifts into reverse.
•Before drilling, be sure no cable
or wire is on the other side.
•eed as much cable as possible
into vehicle & clamp securely.
This reduces the possibility of
cable being hooked or snagged.
•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.
•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.
•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.
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.

Reverse Wi h Confidence™
Wiring Camera & Monitor
•Audio works on two ports of
multiplexer and positive triggers
must be triggered for audio to
operate. These are port #3 labeled
“backup” (blue trigger) and port
#2 labeled “DVD” (white
trigger).
•When installing a TWO (2)
camera setup, use ports #3 and
#2 and use positive triggers
Blue and White.
•There is a built-in voltage
regulator for our systems which
can handle 12-24 volts. Real
consumption is 10 to 30 Volts.
•When installing all THREE (3)
cameras, use all three ports and
connect all positive triggers to
appropriate connections.
•To activate grid lines connect
the blue trigger to a power
source. If you want the grid
lines to be on when reversing,
connect the blue trigger to
reverse power. If you want the
grid lines to be on all the time
connect the blue trigger to a
constant power.
FTo 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 which can
be an accessory switch/fuse
line and black wire 12V- to
chassis ground.
FInfrared technology built
into camera IRs are activated
automatically according to the
lighting conditions.
FWhen using the postive trigger
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 14)

Installation Tips
REAR VIEW SAFETY
Sprinter
Chassis third brake light camera RVS Systems Pro Tips for
Sprinter Chassis third brake light camera installation:
1. Always use our supplied camera cable from the rear to the moni-
tor
2. You will find clean power hook-ups under the driver seat area to
power our RVS monitor offerings. Determine positive and negative
hook-ups are correct
3. Our multiplex box can accept (2) more cameras and has default
wires for turn signals if required. Under the driver seat is the best
place for the left and right turn signal default hook up
4. There are two approved locations to pick up the reverse wire.
A. The BEST place to tap the reverse trigger is located in the rear of
the coach in the rear pillar at the bottom grey plastic cover. There is
a 4 pin connection for the tail lights. Strip off a little insulation of
the reverse wire, attach a reverse wire, then loom that reverse wire
along our camera cable to the multiplex box
B. If you are not using our monitor with multiplex box, you can open
the hood of the Sprinter, take the cover off the fuse block and get
the reverse trigger off the blue wire.

Installation Tips
5. Depending on your monitor choice; clip on 7 inch rear mirror moni-
tor, 7 inch windshield button mount “windshield button provided” or
our std 7 inch stand alone monitor, mount the monitor and then in-
stall the multiplex box either under the driver seat or above behind
the driver seat on the wall ceiling area
6. If you are using a dbl din dash mount monitor, determine what im-
pedance that monitor has. Std is 7 5, but a few monitors have a 70
impedance. We can supply a cocoon RCA adaptor for a 70 impedance
monitor. We also can supply a RCA adaptor to go into any dbl din dash
monitor. Be advised that Gentex monitors only put out 6 volts and our
cameras require 12 volts for proper operation
7. Remove the OEM third brake light and use our supplied plug and
play “splice” connection for power to the third brake light LED’s
8. Attach the camera cable to our third brake light camera connection
and by using the factory screws, place it into the now empty area with
our supplied gasket
