Backup camera, wireless,
2009 Arctic Fox 990,
Hello,
1- wired the WiFi transmitter into the existing porch light. I enlarged the porch switch to hold two switches so I could turn of the transmitter when not needed. The porch and running lights are located on a panel, there's a cavity behind so easy to install the camera and wires, the switch is directly behind the where camera is mounted.
2- I installed two diodes so to use two 12v inputs for the reverse wire to the backup monitor(or radio). A switch in dash to turn while driving and the reverse wire output wire to backup lights. Without diodes the reverse lights would come on when dash switch is on.
I hope this helps anyone trying to install a backup camera with WiFi.It took me awhile to figure out a clean installation, (my best friend helped me, last name is -Internet, first name is- The) :)
An update, I had to mount the camera onto a piece of think rubber to insulate the camera from the metal panel, then screw the rubber to the panel.. Not sure why but the camera monitor would have static only when bolted to panel.
