@RonaldM If you have the Furrion side marker cameras, then the RED will connect to the positive wire on running lights circuit, the BROWN will connect to the positive wire on your vehicle's running lights circuit, the BLACK is your ground wire, and your YELLOW is the trigger wire,

When you say "YELLOW: Is the trigger wire, and is only used in LED versions." Does this refer to the LED marker light?

Hi Bryce, Why connect both the red and brown wires to the running lights circuit? Is the brown wire specifically for the running lights and the red wire specifically to power the camera? Can the red wire be connected to a trailer hot wire so that the camera can be active at all times for security monitoring when disconnected from the tow vehicle? Furrion/Lippert tout the cameras as security monitoring devices when parked, but per your reply, the cameras will not be useable when the tow vehicle is disconnected, or connected with the running lights turned on, which no one would do.

@Stephen Hi Stephen, great questions. The reason both the red and brown wires tie into the running light circuit is because that’s the way Furrion designed the side marker cameras to receive power. The red wire feeds the camera itself, and the brown wire feeds the marker light portion of the assembly. Since the system is built so the camera activates only when the marker lights have power, wiring both to the running light circuit keeps everything operating as intended. Connecting the red wire to a constant hot line sounds appealing for security, but it creates issues because the camera isn’t designed for always-on operation and the internal electronics rely on the same circuit that powers the marker light. Furrions “security mode” refers to when the tow vehicle remains connected and the marker light circuit stays energized, not an independent battery powered system after disconnect. If a true always-on camera setup is the goal, the best option is an external power source and a dedicated camera system designed for 24/7 monitoring like the new Vision S+.

@JesseM. Thanks Jesse, so it is doable with the Vision S+? That is what I am looking to purchase as the upgrade to the Vision S. Again, no one is going to leave their running lights on all the time when parked. If so, the camera would still be subjected to an always-on scenario. And I don’t see any issues affecting the camera itself if it is powered on all the time.

@Stephen Yes the Vision S+ can be used as an observation camera or backup camera.
