  • Make sure the camera lens is clean. Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe away any dirt or smudges.
  • Adjust  the camera. Find the sweet spot where the image is clear and sharp.
  • Check the camera settings. Ensure that the resolution and image quality settings are appropriately configured.

3. No Video Signal / Blue Screen

If you're not getting any video signal on your display, try the following:

  • You have a loose connection somewhere. Check the cable connections for any loose or damaged cables.
  • Do a hard reset, unplug all cables, leave out for a few seconds and then re-connect them.
  • If it is connected to the reversing lights, check the wiring at both ends. It is possible that the connection to the camera of the connection to the reverse light circuit is either loose or broken. Verify the red positive trigger on power harness cable is put to power 12v+.  Also, double check your camera ground connections. A bad connection can cause problems such as you are experiencing.

  • Test with a cigarette lighter to see if you have the same problem.

(For some vehicle, there is the lines/waves on the image. The is because the signal noise interference issues due to the some car's engine.  The 12V power being supplied isn’t clean enough to anti-interference and reduce the lines/waves on the image without a booster/filter, you will need to buy the 12V DC power adapter filter rectifier to solve it)

If the surface is a NON-SMOOTH or NOT-FLAT SURFACE,suction cup may not work on directly:
  • For this situation, you can use sticky adhesive or VHB 3M Adhesive Double-Sided Circle or a small piece of sturdy velcro to help it mount.

If camera is on rear of RV typically the power is supplied by connecting to running light. Power must be on to running light to power camera.
