Since the camera is already fed a continuous 12v the "smart" box seems to only be looking for a small amount of energy to signal the vehicle was turned on. So I rechecked the voltage at the "Switched" wire (red) to make sure it was turning off and what I found was it was running between 150 and 200mv. However I was having this same issue after installing the smart hardwire kit and tried reversing the wires and everything and non of it worked. So I know this post is a little old and this may not be an issue for most people anymore. Anyway how we call all resolve our issue. Although their picture could just be a generic. Maybe there is a mix up when sendimg out kits. Can anyone else confirm if there smart hardwire kit has right angle with cord going up towards the roof or down towards the dash? And maybe what cam they have? Both kits look identical and have identical descriptions and both pictures have identical model numbers. Which i felt were a little inconvenient since the cables are being routed through the headliner. Both kits i purchased had the right angle going down. So it's interesting Brian received the smart hardwire kit with the right angle cord going up to the roof. I did notice multiple smart hardwire kits when purchasing the cameras. just waiting back on a response see what they say. I would have to either tap the camera or manually turn it one. But after a few days the camera stopped turning back on when ignition was on. It even activated by slightly tapping the camera itself. I banged on the windshield and the camera would turn on record for 20 seconds show a locked icon locking that file and turn back off. And even was able to get the parking monitor to work correctly. The camera was turning on when ignition on and off when ignition was off. Everything seemed to be working correctly at first. On the other car everything is installed the same way as the first. Haven't tried switching the red and yellow wires though. But even after coming into the car when the car has finally turned off the feature has never been able to activate. I would assume because the camera doesn't shut off for awhile. And i am able to set the parking monitor on with g sensor turn on and even see the "P" to show that it's activated but it won't activate to record the 20 second. It looks like the camera actually shuts off about 6-7 hours after turning off the ignition based on the recorded files. It stays on but upon going through the saved footage. But does not turn off when the ignition turns off. Now on one car the camera turns on as it should when ignition is on. Red wire to switched fuse and Yellow to constant fuse. Both were installed as per the instructions. Ive bought 2 V5 cameras both with smart hardwire kits. Although i bought all the cameras and smart hardwire kits through the rexing site directly not their Amazon store. i don't know if its the hardwire kit is the problem/defective or something else. the camera will start when you start the engine and it will turn off by turning the engine off but the problem is the parking mode still not working. i tried so many ways, searching videos on how to trouble shoot it and accidentally i was able to work it in the right way by reversing the yellow & red wires. i also tried disconnecting the yellow wire and leave the red and black wire connected to see if it will work normally without the parking mode feature but the camera turned off when i disconnected the yellow wire. but i still went on trying to enable the parking mode and its not working also. i left it like that for awhile to observe it that it might turn off in a few seconds, but unfortunately nothing happened, the camera still on. the problem was when i was done connecting all those wires, the camera started turning on even my car engine still off. i used a fuse tester to determine which is the right fuse for each wire. the red wire goes to switched or on & off fuse, the yellow wire goes to hot or always powered fuse, and the black wire goes to the bolt for ground. but when i got the hardwire kit i went on to install it following the instructions video from rexing. i ordered a smart hardwire kit because i want to have a parking mode feature. I just bought a Rexing V3 a week ago and i already used it for 6 hours traveling using the included cigarette's lighter cable and i don't have a problem at all, it works perfectly.
