3. Verify the camera's dimensions match your vehicle's trunk handle opening.

5.2 Diagrama de cablejat:

Follow the diagram below for correct wiring connections.

Image 5.1: Detailed wiring diagram showing connections for the backup camera, power, and video cables to the monitor and reversing light.

• Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the red wire of the power cable to the positive (+) terminal of your vehicle's reversing light. Connect the black wire to a ground (GND) point.
• Connexió de vídeo: Connect the 4-pin cable from the camera to the provided video cable. Route the video cable to your monitor/head unit. Connect the yellow RCA connector to the video input of your monitor.
• Trigger Wire: The video cable includes a red trigger wire at both ends. Connect the trigger wire from the video cable (near the monitor) to your monitor's reverse trigger input (usually labeled 'Reverse In' or 'Back'). Connect the trigger wire from the video cable (near the camera) to the positive (+) terminal of the reversing light, alongside the camera's red power wire. This ensures the monitor switches to the camera view quan s'enganxa la marxa enrere.

5.3 Gestió de cables:

The camera features a 4-pin cable design, which is thinner than standard RCA cables, facilitating easier routing through tight spaces. The included video cable is double-shielded to minimize interference and ensure stable signal transmission.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

The GreenYi AHD 1080P Backup Camera offers flexible video output options and adjustable guidelines.

6.1 Video Signal Configuration:

By default, the camera outputs an AHD 1080P 25HZ video signal. If your monitor or head unit only supports CVBS (standard definition) video, you must convert the signal.

• To switch to CVBS: Locate the small white cable loop on the camera's wiring harness. Cut this white cable loop and then reconnect the camera to its power supply. The camera will now output a CVBS signal.

Note: AHD video signals provide significantly clearer images than CVBS. Ensure your monitor is compatible with AHD 1080P for the best viewexperiència.

6.2 Parking Guideline Control:

The camera displays parking guidelines by default to assist with parking maneuvers. If you prefer to operate without these guidelines, they can be disabled.

• To disable guidelines: Locate the small green cable loop on the camera's wiring harness. Cut this green cable loop and then reconnect the camera to its power supply. The guidelines will no longer appear on the display.

6.3 Head Unit Settings for AHD:

If your head unit supports AHD, you may need to configure its settings to properly display the AHD 1080P signal. Refer to your head unit's manual for specific instructions. Typically, this involves navigating to car settings, then reverse (picture) settings, and selecting AHD-1080P 25HZ.

8. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your backup camera, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Video Signal / Black Screen:
  • Check all power connections (red wire to reverse light positive, black wire to ground).
  • Verify the video cable is securely connected to both the camera and the monitor.
  • Ensure the monitor is set to the correct video input (e.g., AV1, AV2, Camera).
  • Confirm the video signal type: If your monitor is CVBS only, ensure you have cut the white cable loop on the camera. If your monitor is AHD, ensure it is configured for AHD 1080P 25HZ.
  • Check the reverse trigger wire connection to the monitor.
• Imatge borrosa o distorsionada:
  • Netegeu la lent de la càmera.
  • Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions estiguin estancades i lliures de corrosió.
  • If using CVBS, the image quality will be lower than AHD. Consider upgrading to an AHD-compatible monitor for clearer visuals.
  • Check for electrical interference. Some vehicles may require a relay or filter box to stabilize the 12V power supply to the camera.
• No Parking Guidelines:
  • Check if the green cable loop on the camera's wiring harness has been cut. If it has, the guidelines are disabled. To re-enable, you would typically need to replace the camera or splice the wire back, though this is not officially supported.
• Two Sets of Guidelines:
  • Some head units have their own built-in guidelines. If you see two sets, disable the original guidelines through your head unit's settings.
