Need help?Do you have a question about the Intec Car Vision CVD650LCD-A and is the answer not in the manual?
The INTEC Car Vision® System is a mobile video safety system designed to enhance vehicle safety by providing drivers with clear views of blind spots around their vehicles. The system primarily utilizes cameras and a display to offer real-time visual information, particularly useful for backing up or monitoring areas around the vehicle. Depending on the controller series (CVS100/CVS102 or CVS500), the system offers various functionalities and camera configurations, ranging from single/dual camera setups to applications with up to five cameras.
The core function of the Car Vision® System is to display camera feeds on an LCD monitor, providing the driver with an extended field of vision. When properly installed, the system can be activated automatically, typically when the vehicle is placed in reverse, or manually via a remote control. Upon activation, a clear image of the area behind the vehicle is displayed, often accompanied by an on-screen distance grid for reference.
The system supports different image orientations (Mirror or True) to ensure safe vehicle operation, allowing objects on the right side of the vehicle to appear on the right side of the displayed image. These orientations can be adjusted through the display's on-screen menus. The screen brightness is also adjustable to suit ambient light conditions, with an "AUTO" setting that brightens or dims the screen automatically, or a "MAN" setting for manual control.
For single or dual camera systems using a CVS100 or CVS102 series controller, the CVR100 remote control is used for all adjustments. This remote features backlit buttons for low-light conditions and includes a speaker for audible alerts, especially when integrated with an active radar component. The remote allows users to manually turn the display on/off, access the on-screen user menu, adjust radar alert volume, and control screen brightness. An Installer Menu, accessible by pressing the MENU and Up Arrow buttons simultaneously, provides access to advanced settings like language selection, external video input activation, camera image orientation (Mirror/True), radar settings, and software version display.
The CVS100/CVS102 controllers also offer an external video input/output feature, allowing connection of other video sources like GPS or additional cameras. This feature also provides video and audio outputs to alternate displays or DVRs. An integrated active object detection (radar) system, when connected, provides visual alerts (OSD markers) on the display and audible alerts through the remote when objects are detected within its range. Green markers indicate active radar, while red markers illuminate and flash, accompanied by an increasing frequency of beeps, as an object gets closer. The on-screen distance grid also flashes in reverse mode according to the detected object's distance.
For one to five camera systems using a CVS500 series controller, the CVR500 remote control offers similar functionalities but with expanded options for multiple cameras. In addition to the basic controls, the CVR500 remote includes dedicated buttons (CH1-CH5) for manually selecting individual cameras and a "CYCLE" button for automatic cycling through connected cameras. The CVS500 controller's Installer Menu is more extensive, featuring eight pages of settings for image orientation, input naming, multi-screen views, output cycle, video output, and audio output/radar select.
The CVS500 series supports multiple display camera views (Quad, Tri Up, Tri Low, and Dual), which are fully programmable to show specific camera positions. A separate independently programmed triggered multi-camera view can also be activated via an orange trigger wire, allowing for a second multi-display camera view if needed. The system also features a programmable auto camera cycle, allowing users to set dwell times for each camera position and external video input. This cycle can be activated via the remote's CYCLE button or a light blue trigger wire. A separate programmable output camera cycle allows for an alternate cycle to be recorded via one of the available video outputs.
The integrated radar in CVS500 systems is available for camera positions 1 and 2. Radar 1 is activated via a blue trigger wire, while Radar 2 is active whenever power is applied to the system and camera 1 is not triggered. If Radar 2 detects an object while the system is in standby or another camera is selected, the display will turn on, show video from camera 2, and provide the radar alert.
The Car Vision® System is designed for ease of use, with adjustments primarily made via the remote control. The backlit buttons on both CVR100 and CVR500 remotes ensure visibility in various lighting conditions. The on-screen display (OSD) menus are structured into Help, User, and Installer menus, guiding users through settings. The Help Menu explains button functions, the User Menu allows adjustments to image parameters like volume, brightness, contrast, color, and tint, and the Installer Menu provides access to advanced system configurations.
The "DIMMER" function in the User Menu can be set to "AUTO" for automatic brightness adjustment based on ambient light or "MAN" for manual control using the Up/Down Arrow buttons. This ensures optimal screen visibility in different driving environments.
For CVS500 systems, the ability to name camera inputs (e.g., "REAR") helps operators quickly identify camera views. The multi-display camera views and programmable auto-cycle features offer flexibility in monitoring multiple areas around the vehicle, enhancing situational awareness. Trigger sequencing ensures that certain camera views take priority when multiple triggers are active, with Camera 1 typically having the highest priority. Pulse latch triggering on Camera 2 and 3 allows the system to remain active for a short period even after the trigger signal is removed, which is useful for turn signal applications. The momentary rear camera override feature allows drivers to temporarily switch to Camera 4 or 5 while the rear camera is triggered, providing quick access to alternative views.
Regular preventative maintenance is crucial for the longevity and reliability of the Car Vision® System. INTEC recommends inspecting the system at least once every two weeks or during scheduled vehicle maintenance. Key areas for inspection include:
Educating drivers to report minor problems promptly can prevent them from escalating into major issues, such as moisture intrusion leading to irreparable camera damage. Periodic checks of the system's components and wiring help identify potential trouble areas before they result in system failure, minimizing cost and downtime.
