Which Side Camera Do I Need for My FedEx Vehicle?

Choosing the correct side camera for your FedEx or P&D vehicle is important to ensure compatibility with your existing system. Using the wrong camera can result in No Signal or poor image quality, even if the connector physically fits.


Step 1 — Identify your system type

Before selecting a replacement camera, confirm your system type. Your replacement camera must match your existing system.

System Type Camera Required
AHD system AHD camera
Standard (CVBS) system Standard resolution (CVBS) camera
FHD system FHD-compatible camera

Not sure what type of system you have?

Step 2 — Check your existing camera's part number

Look at the label on your current camera for a part number. The part number tells you the signal type.

AHD cameras:

  • "AHD" appears in the part number (example: PD-775R-AHD)
  • Part number ends in "-AHD" or "-1"

FHD cameras:

  • "FHD" or "CA" appears in the part number

Standard CVBS cameras:

  • No AHD or FHD in the part number
  • If there is no signal type indicator, it is likely a standard CVBS camera

Step 3 — Confirm your connector type

Most FedEx P&D systems use a 4-pin round connector. Before ordering, confirm:

  • Your existing camera uses a 4-pin connector
  • The replacement camera uses the same connector type

Important: Matching connectors does NOT guarantee compatibility. Always verify the signal type first. An AHD and a CVBS camera can use the same 4-pin connector, but will not work together.

Always match both:

  • Signal type (AHD, CVBS, or FHD)
  • Connector type

Step 4 — Use the connection diagrams

If you are unsure how your system is wired or which camera connects where, use the FedEx P&D Connection Diagrams to verify your setup before ordering.

Common ordering mistakes to avoid

Mistake Result

Mixing FHD with a non-FHD system No display
Assuming all 4-pin cameras are interchangeable No Signal or poor image quality
Not checking the part number before ordering Wrong camera, return required
