Hi, I purchased this camera over the holiday and finally installed this week. I am using it as a front camera, the picture is great but the visual is reversed. Is there a way to correct this? Is it possible I got the wrong camera in the box. Thank you. Hi, I purchased this camera over the holiday and finally installed this week.

Hi. I too received a Reverse only camera with no way to switch to Front mode. Ask Amazon for refund. This is definitely a wrong description of the item and needs to be removed or corrected.

Hi,if your camera do not have 2 or 3 white,blue,or red short wires coming out from one of the tow camera plugs ,so you can tie tow of these wires to reverse the image,if these wires are not available then you have got reverse camera only (wrong camera),hope this is clear.

The image is reversed for me as well, this camera came with a hole saw that was not correct as well. Useless as front camera.

If your monitor is not reversing the picture then you must have received the rear view camera. Check to see if your monitor has a setting for flipping the video. The front view camera I received worked as specified. There is not a way to reverse the camera image except to flip it with a monitor.

I think yo have to connect the extra wire. Red one according to the pic. But not sure if it has to be live or ground

I've got the opposite problem. I placed mine in the rear, but the image is NOT reversed. Wish I could trade cameras. I didn't notice this until it was installed in my rear bumper.

Hello, I got two of these and also use it as front camera on my cars. The image is correct on both. I believe that they sent to you a wrong camera.

Thanks for the reply. I understand it may be us, not the camera, although I've never had this problem with any other camera. May have to play with the white balance to correct the problem, at least that's what Panasonic told me. Two camera stores couldn't figure it out. Shouldn't be so complicated!

Hello there....sorry to hear that you are having issues. I bought mine for my son. He told me that he is using the factory settings, default, and the picture looks great. try using the default settings, if that does not work you may want to return it. Hope this helps....good luck.

My sister and I both had this camera and we had the same problem. I think that once you start having issues with this camera there is no going back. I would just upgrade. We never figured out why the glitch occurred.

The only way I see this happening is if you have two monitors. If you only have the one monitor like me, You can switch from camera to camera in just seconds like i do. But i dont see it happening with the one monitor. I think this is the best camera system that they have to offer, because ive had nothing but problems with there other ones in the past. I also thought about buying another monitor.

The rear camera should show up automatically as a mini pip in the upper right corner of the screen. You can use the remote up and down buttons to switch the positions on the screen. If everything fails, you probably got a dud as I did. Returned it, got another from another on-line company and it works great!

Why is one camera upside down and one upside right in the photo? Has the seller confirmed is this can be used with a GproHD and Gopro2? I do not have two of the same cameras. Thanks

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!

Thanks for the reply. We actually ended up returning the camera to FP after calling the help center and trying different cards. The card reader must have been broken, because the replacement camera they sent us, read all the cards we had tried in the old one... FP did send the new camera with no problem.

I use a Mac computer so the software that comes with the camera will not work. It only work son a PC. The image is indeed reversed so text appears in mirror image form on the screen. There may be a way with the supplied software to change that, but since I can't use it, I don't know. Hopefully someone with a PC will answer this question.

Sorry for not getting back to you quickly, make sure the plug is fully inserted, also the button with the camera icon on it changes the view from front, front with rear in a smaller screen, or just rear. I know the instructions aren't very clear, my camera came set up in a foreign language. Had to watch you tube video: "Review: Front & Rear HD Car Dash Cam" by Techmoan. Watch this video, it might help You,

Same problem. I just opened the unit and so far I love it, but on night vision there is no constant image. It keeps "blinking" from night vision image to black, back and forth. Is this normal? I was expecting uninterrupted image in night vision as when there is light on the room. By the way, when I turn lights on, the blinking desapears. Can anyone help us with this?

Hello OrangeMonkie,I apologize received a defective unit. Both front and rear facing camera should perfectly align. Please login into your amazon account and contact us with your order number and brief description of the problem and we'll replace it immediately. Sincerely,rooCASE Customer Care Support

I agree with Steven. The camera is fine. Jason apparently has not set it up correctly. The CD that came with my camera installs, but nothing happens when I run it. However, it is not necessary for installation if you know your way around networks. Also, the zip file mentioned by others is corrupt.

Unfortunately, camera didn't work properly (from the very beginning). I did not bother to return it, my fault. My only suggestion, if applicable, buy it locally. Good Luck

ok so this particular camera gives you that option? I don't have this camera. I'm looking to buy it and that's one thing that would make or break the purchase. I didn't know that's why it double flashes, thanks.

Can anyone help me out. I have a Flip and at first I really liked it. Then when I used it to film my son going into a pool for the first time the camera did not work. I turned it on and all I got was the "Flip Logo Screen." I e-mailed customer service and they told me to leave the batteries out of it for a couple of days and then put new batteries in and it should work. I tried that and it worked the first time I turned it on. THen I turned it off and tried to turn it on again and all I got was the LOGO screen again and it won't turn off. Does anyone else have this problem or any suggestions on how to get around this? I haven't used it that much for it to be sucking down batteries like this. Can anyone help me out.
