I have power going to the camera but no picture on the screen.

I suggest you contact the manufacturer or the vendor that sold you the camera and the screen.

Glad you got it going. I agree the wires at The Monitor are 'microscopic' and a real pain to strip back in order to crimp on a ring eye or hot wire tap. Instructions are non existant. If you should have further issues and I can be of assistance, let me know.

Hi, I'm back but cannot get my Mickey Mouse looking drawing of wiring schematic to paste/upload. Will mess around with it for awhile directly on the site to try to do so as opposed to trying to paste it here. --- Bottom line: The Pyle PLCM 36 requires two hot wire sources. One to power the Monitor and one to power the Camera. Hope this helps you.

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.

I just have this message when the camera is conected to the computer via USB cable. Try to unplug and turn it on again.

You need to use the DC power adapter. The camera does not have its own internal battery.

If the screen is saying "no service" could be a couple of things. 1. camera is not synced with the monitor or not transmitting... 2. the monitor is not in the right mode. Make sure they both are fully charged then when you turn them both on make sure they sync.

Try reset cam while plugged in it may also depend on windows version may not be compatible with 8 and up you may need to load basic player for the cam also try finding it in my computer right click explore

I have the same problem. Camera arrived yesterday. Will not power up. About to return.

First check your monitor, you might have accidently hit a zoom on your display. If that's not the case try disconnecting power to camera for 15 sec. then power back up. The only other thing it could be is a defective camera, it does happen. Good luck

You could try getting a new battery and make sure you have the right setting on your camera.

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.

Try plugging it into a lead and make sure the power and record light come on, if so the problem could be with card. The lights are located under the removable back cover.

Assuming you fully charged the battery prior to plugging it into your camera my guess is you have a defective battery.

Hey, I don't have the same problem after connecting to a computer. But when I'm in review mode and delete a photo/video and turn off the camera directly without going back to camera mode, I've noticed that the screen stays on, but black and none of the buttons, not even power, will work. You just have to simply remove the front cover, take out the battery and put it back in. I've had to do this 3 times thus far and it's not a consistently occurring problem, but the solution works every time.

Hi. The camera does not have an on/off switch. Once you connect power to it - it will come on and stay on. The red connector is the power input, the yellow connector should take the video to your television or other devise. If it does not come on, then check to see if it is getting power.

I had that issue too I was seeing the images being recorded on cam but once I took the memory card out it was blank

Double check to make sure it's not on "no flash" (lightning bolt with circle and slash through it) which you can change by pressing the circle with the ok in the middle. If that doesn't work, turn the camera off, take the battery out, and then put back in and turn on. also make sure your camera is well charged. Otherwise, get service.

I think I may have a similar issue. I connected my TV, and I have no picture, no sound, or anything at all. The right light on the button right comes on and off when I hit the power button, but that's it. Can't get the menu or anything to work.

Make sure ur AC Adaptor or Battery can Supply 12 volts and at least 400 Miliamps and u hav an Active Video signal Transmitting to the monitor. the monitor automatically shuts down all circuits cept the video processor to save power wen no video is present but wen a video signal is detected the monitor will turn on the Screen. this is a nice feature as i plan to use it as a remote Viewfinder for my Camera. Note on powered camera, all cameras r powered wen working and the Rear view cameras DO Not supply power thru their video outputs On the stripped end of the Power line the red wire is Positive Make sure ur AC Adaptor or Battery can Supply 12 volts and at least 400 Miliamps and u hav an Active Video signal Transmitting to the monitor. the monitor automatically shuts down all circuits cept the video processor to save power wen no video is present but wen a video signal is detected the monitor will turn on the Screen. this is a nice feature as i plan to use it as a remote Viewfinder for my Camera.
