Front Facing camera no input "!" on FCAM APP DOES WORK connected to Reverse cam - 2023 Vivid 11 PX6


  • Firmware: 5.10.3468(vivid)


    I have a very strange problem that i'd like some input on. 

    I have purchased 2 front facing cameras- the official 1080p front facing camera from Dasaita as well as a 3rd party 720P camera. 

    Both cameras have this same strange issue


    Problem:

    Front facing camera in FCAM app only shows "!" no input in FCAM app reverse camera works when: 1. connected to the reverse cam input & 2. when connected to the front cam input

    If i throw the front facing new cameras into the reverse camera input- in the FCAM APP i get "!" no video

    If I have the new front facing cameras into the reverse camera input and put the car in reverse I see the new front facing cameras working in the reverse camera monitor. 

    I assume when i put the car into reverse it's not using the FCAM app and the issue could be with the FCAM app 

    But I have no idea where to go or how to look at this. 

    The camera is currently using CVBS I was not able to get any signle from AHD. 

     



  • I was able to solve my own problem (some what)

     

    The cable "CCTV 12V+" off the reverse camera module for some reason only gives 12v power when the car is in revese. When the car is in park, drive or anything else that cable does not deliver power to the camera. I will have to get power somewhere else. 

    Dissapointing considering it's just 12V, there is no reason to trigger it on only in reverse. And it's also where the wiring diagram says to use power from...
