Product Description

This camera design integrates a backup camera with your vehicle's rear trunk lid. The camera is easy to mount on your car, truck, or van but ALWAYS CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK before drilling or mounting any item on the vehicle. Make sure there are no obstructions in front of the camera, behind where mounting the camera, and that the wire can be run without pinching or interfering with any other item.

This Wired Camera is compatible with most monitor/TFT screens and can be connected using a standard RCA connector. If an extension lead is required be sure to use a Video cable with RCA type ends. An Audio cable will cause poor picture quality.

This camera is equipt with Dynamic Parking Lines. When the camera detects the motion of the vehicle, the parking lines on the image will bend to display the trajectory of the vehicle.

Note: The parking lines will only move while the vehicle is in motion.

Look for a location that will give you the best view behind the vehicle. This should not be directly next to or under a reverse/backup lamp as it may blind the camera at night. Avoid license plate lamps as well as they too can blind the camera at night.

Before drilling determine the best way to run the power wires to the reverse lights & the extension cable through the car. Insure that your route will not interfere with any safety equipment, trunk release or other items on the vehicle.

Once your location has been confirmed AGAIN DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE YOU DRILL! Look for wires, sensors, double metal, anything that could cause a problem or damage. The camera should lay flat against the mounting surface for proper installation and weather proofing.

1. After selecting a mounting surface, either remove the panel if possible or tape off the area to be drilled with masking tape in order to protect the surroundings.

2. For the ACA50ID Camera, we include a 17mm hole saw. Use this drill bit to drill through your mounting surface for the camera. Make sure that there is not a metal lip or double metal in this area as it could damage the hole saw blade.

3. After drilling carefully remove any burs or sharp edges so you do not damage the cable when pulling it through. Coat the edge of the hole with rust preventative. On the ACA501 remove the backing on the double sided tape on the top of the camera base before inserting into the mounting location.
4. Carefully route the camera cable connector through the hole and insert the camera into the hole.

Installation (CONT)

Operation

1. Wire the Camera's power wire to the vehicle's reverse lamp.

a. Locate the reverse lamp in the tail light assembly.
b. Using a crimp connector or by soldering, attach the red wire to the positive 12 volt wire from the reverse lamp.
c. Attach the black wire to ground.

NOTE: If a trigger wire is required at the front of the vehicle or you wish to power your camera from the front of the vehicle use the additional red wire on the video extension cable.

NOTE: Do not connect to the reverse lamp and to power at the front of the vehicle. This will cause the reverse lamp to turn on any time you power the camera.

1. Run the extension cable to the location of the monitor and connect the other end of the extension cable to the camera. Yellow RCA connected to the Video input.
