The Power Harness
• Both the monitor and camera require their own individual
power sources. Connect the (RED) +12VDC wire to
ignition/switched on power and the ground (BLACK) wire
to chassis ground. If interference occurs or camera has
difficulty connecting to the monitor, try tying the ground
wire into an existing ground wire or run a ground directly
to battery.
• 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. Any additional camera can be
accessed by toggling the MODE button.
• The four positive trigger wires (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) each
represent one channel and will turn on their channel when
the trigger wire is energized with +12VDC.
• Camera 2 is the designated backup channel. To have the
the backup camera come on when you go into reverse,
connect the CH2 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 the monitor monitor turn ON when
the vehicle turns on, tie the power wire into any key on
ignition source.
• To have a specific camera come on with the monitor, tie
the camera trigger wire into the keyed ON ignition source.
Note: When the channel wire is active it will have precedence over the
other triggers. Therefore, if you wish to use multiple triggers, do not
attach the trigger to constant power.
