The camera draws power through the cable connected to the RC pwm output.
The PWM output power is only supplied by the small backup battery attached to the RC.
Only the center red wire of the PWM cable is actually used. The camera doesn't care what the PWM is set to in the code.

Re: How do you hook up the camera?

Yea i noticed that too, the cam wouldnt work without the battery, i read over the manual again to see if it provided that we needed anything else, and there it was... you need the back up. Hooked it up and the lights went on I was happy .

Couldnt have done it without you Mark
