Dear customer,
Thank you for selecting our WiFi Car Backup Camera System for the iPhone and Andriod.
This product is a new concept, and you are one of the very few people in the world who have a iPhone/Andriod backup camera system.
We hope you like this product and be a proud owner.
A few things to note and remember.
1. Instead of connecting the backup camera onto your reverse light, please connect to Running light (or engine light) for the power. So
the camera will be on whenever the engine key is turned.
This is because the WiFi camera take about 1-2 second to boot up, so connecting to the running light will enable you to see the
camera earlier and see the camera whenever you want (not just during reverse).
2. The WiFi camera and your smart phone take time to process the video image, so there is video display latency. The image you see
on your smart phone is delayed about 0.5-0.7 seconds. Please use the backup camera as a reference only.
3. If you try to connect the smart phone to view the camera video at home or where your smart phone is defaulted to connect to another
wifi source, you will need to switch your smart phone WiFi to point to the WiFiCamera first, then see the camera on your smart phone.
i.e. when using iPhone, go to: Settings -> WiFi -> WiFiCamera
If you are away from your home WiFi network signal, then your smart phone will automatically connect to WiFiCamera once the camera
is powered on.
We would suggest you to do a trial run and get familiar with the WiFi camera and your smart phone, before you start to drill holes onto
your car for the actual installation.
If you have any questions, please contact us: supports@4ucam.com
