Hi,
I bought one of those reversing cameras which ya plug in to your tail light.

I got the wireless one and had hoped to link it to my VMS 500S unit which has a camera input.

Before I did this I thought I would do a bit of a test.

I wired up the wireless unit (receiver and transmitter) to a couple of 12v plugs.

I then connected the plugs to a 12v power pack.

I verified 12v was coming out of connections as my connections to the plug was a bit rough (no solder).

Both the transmitter and receiver lights came on.

I then connected the VMS 500S up but no picture shown.

Issues could be the VMS or the camera was not working due to my bodgy connections.

So I did another test where I just linked the camera directly to the VMS unit and also supplied alternative power supplies but no picture again.

It could be the VMS unit is not compatible with the camera but I am not sure.

When I start this up I would have thought I saw something in the camera to say it is working.

Does anyone have any clues?

Thanks in advance,

Rich
