INSTALLATION
Installing the camera
In most instances, the camera is best mounted above the vehicles license plate as
shown here.
1. Connect the RED wire of the Cameras Power Harness to the wire that supplies
power to the reversing light globe (the wire that is energized only when the car is
put into reverse). Before making the electrical connection, temporarily disconnect
the camera from the power plug whilst making the connection to the reversing light
globe. Use a suitable splicing/crimp connector (scotch lock type) or strip connector.
This connection can also be soldered, making sure to insulate the joint with electrical
insulation when done. The camera has only one wire to connect (positive (+). There is
no need to hook up a ground earth wire as the camera gets its earth through the RCA
cable. Hooking up the ground earth may cause a ground loop. In this case horizontal
lines will appear in the image.
NOTE: CAN BUS
In the event that the cars reversing lights are driven by CAN BUS the above wiring
system may not trigger the system correctly. It may even create a globe fault warning.
In this case a CAN BUS module (sold separately) may need to be installed. However,
just because the vehicle has a CAN BUS system does not necessarily mean that it will
require such a module to work. In fact the opposite is true. Most vehicles do not require
an additional module. If a CAN BUS module is required we recommend seeking advice
from a professional installer.
