terminal 30 to the power source you are using to power the camera
terminal 87 to the power input on your camera

when you put it in reverse the camera will turn on and it will go off when the car is not in reverse

Relay info in case you need it:

actually my unit has a reverse dedicated set up but I connect my rear view without having to put reverse and show the reverse view, I wanted to show rear view any time durring normal drive ..... but my cam seem to be on full time can I do something to turn it off? thanks
