How does the back up camera become activated?

you tie the reverse wire to the reverse light so when you put it into reverse it will automatically come on

The backup camera becomes active when the car is placed in reverse.The toggle switch alerts the camera and screen to which you see items behind you.Actually a very simple connection.

Common way to wire this for RV's is to connect the hot wire and ground for the camera to the nearest marker light. Then just turn the parking/running lights on on your tow vehicle and camera will be on. Otherwise, you can wire it to the hot wire for the rear backup light so it comes on automatically when you shift into reverse. Monitor has its own on/off switch.

No. I've not tried it with the back-up camera. In fact I don't think that this model even has the option to use the back-up camera.

There is a backup camera line. You run a video line from your camera to the camera line in. Also has a camera sense line to hook to reverse lights so camera is automatically turned on and off.

When I shift into reverse (at which time power is applied to the connected backup camera via a tie-in with the backup lights), the screen comes on immediately. And yes, as soon as the video input stops, the monitor shuts off.This is the camera I use with the monitor:Esky EC170-08 High Definition Car Rear View Backup Camera

The camera is being charged up when its plunged in. There should be no reason to have to turn it back on. It should stay on.

There is a servo connection that attaches to the camera. This allows remote trigger of it. Also to change modes from still to video.

The camera requires a power source, recommended source is the backup light circuit on the vehicle so the camera will turn on/off when using reverse. Brackets are provided for mounting the camera.

You set the motion detector by selecting a spot on the screen. Whenever something passes through that spot it will take the photo. So, yes, if you select a spot on the screen that is long range, the camera will activate the recording.

Back up only works when shifter is in reverse because it works off of the back up light circuit. A rear view is wired off of the ignition circuit soIt can be viewed anytime the vehicle is being operated

Top left button turn camera on and off. When it blinks red it records. Took me a few times to figure out.

It does come up automatically.The back-up camera with our unit is a Pioneer brand as well, dont remember the code, paid $400 for it. No complaints so far.

Yes, but you have to enable it. The bundle of wires coming off the camera includes a green wire with a disconnect plug. Disconnecting it puts it in backup mode by reversing the image and adding a distance scale.
