You need two separate 12 Volts power sources, one for the camera as usual, one for the transmitter. Transmitter has two sockets to receive power, I used the one on the left side and it worked.

The camera power should be coming from the back up lights and that should be energized when car is placed in reverse with key on. Display has a couple of input selections like av1 and av2 so switch them with the remote or button on display.

Hi,I connected the power to the device, stuck it to the window with the supplied adhesive, inserted the SD card and that was it. When you turn the car on, the cigarette power comes on and the dashcamera turns on. Litte voice "welcome to lukas blackbox, drive safely. Recording started". I never touch the thing unless I need the SD card out to review or save the video.Erik

I would at least contact the vendor. If no help, then the joby people. Maybe there is a defect. Be sure to check your camera's fitting, maybe it's stripped.

I have 2 of these cameras already installed and they work great. I was thinking about adding an additional camera, and want to know how do I connect the new camera to the two other cameras for AC power?

Unplugged what? Power or Ethernet? First unplug everything. Then plug in power only. Wait for camera to motion test (move side to side - up and down. Then plug in Ethernet cable and connect in the menu. If no connection remove camera from camera menu and search again with camera pass word ID. Keep trying to connect by unplugging power to camera and reconnecting Ethernet cable. Once it works you can go wireless if you set it up in the menu. Its a nice camera. Pete.

Did you try the camera in another car? If the problem persists in another car, try another power cord.I think I had another camera brand that did it and after I tried everything I had to return it.

The only way I could get it work right was to run the power line to the backup light. Then tie the green wire to that wire under The dash. Run the ground wire to a ground under the dash. Do not run the other 12 v line to power the unit, if you do the unit will stay on all the time with No video on the the screen until you put the car in reverse. You really don't need the green wire. All it does is default the unit to video 2. If you don't use the green wire the unit will show video 1 then switch to video 2. With the green wire tied to the power line from the backup lights the unit will default to video 2. the only power sourse you need for the camera and monitor is the 12 v from the backup lighhts. Take the sorry diagram and burn it. It will just give you a headache. Hope this helps

Yes, i am using the multi out for power. I have noticed with this camera a vertical line that moves left to right. I thought maybe the power source, but tried a different one at 1 ampand still there. Doesn't affect picture quality tho. Maybe someone else has a fix for the vertical line?

Best to unhook battery cables via back. I did not and i think i fried the video card or main board. Good luck take pictures as you go.

I wish I could answer that AlanM. I installed it however I was replacing an existing camera so everything was already in place. If you haven't already maybe contact the seller to see if they can help.

I know when I added a new camera I had to rescan the pairing and at the same time press the connected cable where the camera is plugged into. Took me awhile to figure out. The new camera didn't say this I had to look into original manual.

I had to plug it into a socket. Kinda lame. Defeates the whole hidden camera aspect of the device. it has a step down transformer in the plug. Like a calculator or a set of desktop speakers.hope that helps you

There is only a video out, a power, and a ground. U can connect power and ground at your rear lights and the video out goes to head unit display

make sure you activate the "remote commander" control, situated in the main menu on the camera.hope that works

Is likely a broken wire or dirty connection. I would try the cable on another camera. If it works on another camera, the contacst on your camera are probably dirty. If it still does not work, it's probably a broken wire in the device. A broken wire in the device is unlikely to be worth fixing outside of warranty.

I did not use any menus. Try this...Turn the camera offAttach the device using the cableImportant: Extend the antennae on the remote (I've had it not work right beside the camera until I pull out the antennae)Do a test with the piece attached to the camera. Hit the button on the front, if it takes a picture you know its connected OK.Then test from the remote.Hope this helps.
