The head unit should have a power wire specifically for a back up camera at the head unit just splice the red wire to that and the video on the head uint should also have a dedicated back up camera input i spliced the power wire near the camera itself into my driverside reverse light lucky for me toyota arent duches and the power wire was accualy red unlike some older model fords i have worked on where any wire can be any color if you take off your tail light and look at the wire you can see which.one you need to splice the power for the camera to. I hope this helped let me know.

the blue wire goes to the positive power line to your reversing camera if you have one. This powerline will engage the screen when your reverse is powered up by the gear without interfering with your movie etc

I wondered the same thing. Instructions are LAME and then some. The key is connect the Green wire to backup lights positive which has no power until you put vehicle into reverse. Green wire is the control. When you shift into reverse, power is sent to green wire to monitor and it turns on. When not in reverse, monitor is just OFF, no blue screen, just off. Also make sure camera ground back there is to the body metal ground and nothing else if you have a newer vehicles like 2012 sprinter van, computer did not like camera ground to license plate light wire neg, would disable camera somehow.

that means that u have ur camera cable hooked ... u need to disconnect the camera cable and hook the pink c ble directly to the black ground cable and it should work fine .the problem is the way u have the cables connected .

The Instructions are a little confusing, I had to just go by what each wire does: I used Conventional Diagram! I also Double checked connections On the internet utilizing how my old one was connected & tagged the wires with the corresponding letters shown on the wiring diagram? I don't know if I have confused you more O actually helped you? Good Luck! =O)

Red = +12VDC, Black = GND, Yellow = Video, Green = Video GND. So red and black should go to your vehicle's power and ground. Red can be connected to the backup light wiring with a crimp splice connector. This way the camera will come on only when the vehicle is put in reverse. Yellow and green go to the monitor you are using. You can direct connect but a couple of cautions. First the wires are small and hard to work with. You want to be sure not to break any of the small copper strands when you strip the wires. Be sure to solder the connections or they will stop working in a year or two due to corrosion. Second, if you ever need to replace the camera you'll wish you had the plug in connectors (I know, I'm on my third camera. This is my first license plate frame version.) What I did was solder mating connectors to my vehicle power and LCD wires and then just plugged it in. Now if I ever need to replace it, it will be very easy.

Something is wired wrong. You have to pull two different hot wire power sources. One for the Backup Camera at the 'rear' of the vehicle that taps into the hot reverse vehicle backup light wire, and one at the 'front' of the vehicle for the Monitor as well. Both the front and the rear must in addition be grounded to vehicle body ground. The hot wire source at the front of Vehicle Monitor can be any hot vehicle wire tie in but must be away from the fuse box to help prevent engine ignition 'run' static. I will hand draw a wiring diagram and return to this post and put it up in a while.

Donno how ur planning to do so. This is a simple electrical circuit ! Connect to rear backup light for cam and red op lights for front sensors

1) Did you check to make sure you did not accidentally reverse the power/ground wires? 2) You said 18 channels - some cameras can consume a lot of power; Is your power supply adequately sized (plus some margin) to deliver power to all your cameras? To check this, I would unplug all cameras except for one. Then add in more cameras one by one. 3) Using a volt meter (and measuring resistance), did you check to make sure you do not accidentally have a short circuit somewhere? If your DVM shows 0, or something close to it, you might* have a short.

Try connecting it with a different cable to see if the 100' cable is bad. Try different ports if you have a multiport POE injector. While I'm no expert, I would also recommend using solid copper CAT6 cable for a run that long. I have this camera on a long run of solid CAT6 and it works perfect.

Thanks for the answer, buddy!I tried just wiring the "rear center" into "rear right + & -" but haven't found out if it works (was going to test tonight). Your first method is to wire "rear center" wires into "rear left +" and "rear right -", right?

I ran it right from my cam by getting an adaptor. I would go to best buy and find the right one then order it from amazon

Don't know.. had it for a year and haven't installed. Tell you next year...MaybeMy guess is the camera is activated by the reverse switch. You may be able to do some custom wiring to get around the problem. Check the manufactures instillation instructions on there site.

I have the same camera and the right angle of the cord points forward, not down. Also, be sure that you are opening the connections closest to the front of the camera, as there are two sets of ports on that side. If that doesn't work they may have sent you the wrong one.

First check that the system has power getting to it. It needs 12volts , check for bad fuses also. Check to make sure the cable connections are secure. Then check cable for damage..breaks,freyed wires etc. The trouble with my back up system was not the camera, it was a bad grey video box the camera plugs into. I found this out because the camera would work when I would wiggle the wires at the grey video box.

Hi!How do you have your cam connected?..as in are you doing it through hdmi, component etc?
