I have just received my reversing camera for the back of our baler.. there are four wires coming out of the screen unit

Red: Live
Black: Ground Earth
Blue: Trigger
White: Trigger
Can someone please explain the simplest way of wiring the camera up please in layman terms..

What make/model?

 

[manhill]

Some monitors have a blank screen until they detect a video signal from the camera.

Yes there is two multi connectors for the camera.

Can I just ask a question @GAM ...........

Why do you put mainly machinery related questions in this forum rather than the dedicated machinery forum (which is very busy and brings a lot of responses)?

 

[Kidds]

Well you took your time to reveal your true colours. Never had you down as a forum nazi.

(which is very busy and brings a lot of responses) for that very reason!

Not that English is my first or even second language but I do believe he's saying that the machinery section is busier than this one..

Normally it would be live to a switched live, earth to earth and trigger wire to reversing lights so camera comes on when reverse selected, on all our systems I've just joined the trigger wire to the same supply as the live so its on all the time.

Does that mean, I need to connect the Blue & White switch wires to the Red Pos wire?

I've not had one with 2 switch wires before, usually just the blue switch wire.

Does yours take just one camera? I believe this has the capability too run two cameras.

A trigger for each camera.

May I refer you to the seminal Bachman Turner Overdrive song?

Yeah that could be it, all ours are single camera systems

It carries a P65 California health warning for cancer. I think I'd be more worried about crashing while watching/adjusting on the road. The mind boggles trying to figure out how it could cause cancer.

P.s. I've just figured it out, in the event of a crash the screaming drivers mouth is wide open as his head collides with the monitor thereby ingesting dangerous circuit board metals and chemicals.
See, I knew there must be a reason. Now, just have to pass this on to make environment officials aware.

Penknives carry a cancer risk warning in California. I think it's a bit like "may contain nuts" things.

Does this mean the Oooih thread is going to get more interesting
