The Swift Hitch™ SH02 is a portable wireless camera system with infrared night vision, designed to assist with tasks like hitching a trailer. It operates on the ISM-2.4GHz frequency band, which is legally usable worldwide without special permission. The system comprises a camera unit and a receiver unit, both featuring rechargeable lithium batteries.

Function Description

The camera unit captures images using a CMOS image sensor and transmits them wirelessly. It includes built-in infrared lights for night vision, which automatically activate in low light conditions, turning the picture to black and white (monochrome). The receiver unit features a receiving module and a 2.5-inch color LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to display the camera's image. The system is designed for ease of use, allowing users to view themselves backing up on the display to facilitate hitching.

Usage Features

Package Contents: The system includes one 2.4GHz wireless camera, one 2.4GHz wireless receiver, one lithium battery for the receiver, a "Y" shaped charging cable for both camera and receiver, a carrying bag for the camera, a carrying bag for the receiver, and a user's manual.

Charging:

Both the camera and receiver are powered by Li-batteries.
To charge, first load the Li-battery into the battery compartment, ensuring polarities are matched. For the camera, the weatherproof cover needs to be removed before charging.
Connect the camera and receiver to an auto cigarette lighter using the "Y" shaped charging cable.
A full charge takes approximately 2 hours for the camera and 2.5 hours for the receiver.
The camera and receiver can be used while charging.
LED Indicators:
- Camera: Red on (Charging when Power off), Off (Power off/Finish Charging), Green on (Power on), Yellow on (Charging when Power on).
- Receiver: Red on (Charging when Power off), Off (Power off/Finish Charging), Green on (Power on), Yellow on (Charging when Power on), Flash green (Low battery).
A full charge for the receiver provides about 180 minutes of continuous operation. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before its first installation to optimize its life.

Operation:

Ensure the camera is fully charged.
Press the Power ON/OFF button on both the camera and receiver to power them on.
Mount the magnetic camera on your tailgate and adjust it to a suitable angle relative to your receiver.
View the display on the receiver to assist with backing up and hitching.

Night Vision: The camera's built-in infrared lights provide night vision for low light conditions, automatically activating and displaying a black and white image.
