Connection overview only. Wire labels, fuse connections and supported parking modes depend on your exact kit and vehicle.

01 / Match your equipment

Start with the right kit.

These videos show installation examples. Follow the instructions supplied with your particular kit and vehicle.

CAMERA

Confirm your model

Check the label on your camera and identify its power connector. A matching connector alone does not establish parking-mode compatibility.

HARDWIRE KIT

Check the kit label

Identify whether you have a Smart, Intelligent or other Rexing hardwire kit. Use its own wiring instructions and supported camera list.

VEHICLE

Check the fuse information

Consult your vehicle documentation and the kit instructions for the appropriate fuse adapter and connection points. If you are unsure, use a qualified installer.

Installation details vary. Do not assume a wire color, fuse position or parking setting shown for one kit applies to every Rexing camera. Keep cables clear of airbag deployment areas and vehicle controls.

02 / Watch the installation

03 / Check your setup

Before you finish,
confirm the basics.

Check operation with your camera's manual and the exact kit instructions beside you.

  1. Check normal recording

    Confirm the camera receives power and records normally with the vehicle on. Check each connected camera view.

  2. Set the correct parking mode

    Use the setting specified for your camera and kit. Some motion-sensing kits require the camera or app Parking Mode setting to stay OFF.

  3. Check the parked behavior

    Follow your kit's procedure to verify the transition after the vehicle is turned off. Battery-protection cutoffs can interrupt power; consult the kit instructions before treating this as a camera fault.

  4. Inspect cable routing

    Ensure the installation does not interfere with your view, controls or airbags. Have a qualified installer inspect any uncertain connections.

04 / Common questions

A few things worth checking.

Should Parking Mode always be switched on?

No. The required setting depends on the camera and hardwire kit. For example, the C2 and C3 manuals distinguish smart-kit impact detection from intelligent-kit motion detection, with Parking Mode OFF for the motion-sensing configuration. Always follow your own model's guide.

Does this page confirm which kit fits my camera?

This page is an installation guide, not a universal compatibility list. Check the kit's supported models, connector and instructions. If anything is unclear, send Rexing support the camera model and a photo of the hardwire kit label.

What if my video player is blank?

Use the Watch on YouTube link below either video to open the same official tutorial directly. Neither video starts automatically.
