Frequently Asked Questions - RVC 4.1 KH BLAUPUNKT

How to install the Blaupunkt RVC 4.1 KH rear view camera?

Installation depends on the mounting type. For bumper mounting, drill a hole the diameter of the camera, pass the cable harness, insert the camera with the arrow pointing up and push evenly. For bracket mounting, choose a flat location near the license plate, partially screw in the first screw, connect the cables, adjust the position, mark and screw in the second screw. Always disconnect the vehicle battery before installing.

What type of video signal does this camera use?

The camera uses a CVBS video signal in NTSC format.

How to activate or deactivate the guide lines?

Guide lines are available on some models. To activate/deactivate them, cut the purple or white switching loop (depending on the model). Refer to the wiring diagram to identify the corresponding loop.

How to switch between mirror image and normal image?

Use the mirror/right image switch. On some models, this is done by cutting the dedicated switching loop. Refer to the switching loop instructions in the manual.

What to do if the camera shows no image?

First check the power connections (12 V DC) and the video cable. Ensure the monitor is on and on the correct source. If the problem persists, test the SF-RVC 4.X signal filter or the VK-RVC 4.X extension cable. If defective, contact a specialist.

Is the camera waterproof?

Yes, the camera has an IP67 protection rating, which protects against dust and temporary immersion. However, avoid high-pressure water jets for cleaning.

What is the required supply voltage?

The camera operates at 12 V DC. A tolerance of ±10% is acceptable. Do not install it in a vehicle with a 24 V system, as this poses a fire risk.

Can I use this camera with a 24 V monitor?

No, the camera is designed for 12 V DC. Installation on a 24 V system would damage the device and pose a fire risk. Use only 12 V systems.

What accessories are available for this camera?

Accessories include the 10-meter RCA extension cable (VK-RVC 4.X) and the signal filter (SF-RVC 4.X). They help extend the range or improve signal quality.

How to clean the camera without damaging it?

Clean the camera regularly with a soft cloth to remove dirt, water drops or snow. Do not use a high-pressure water jet as it could crack the lens glass.
