A familiar moment…

You’re easing into a tight alley, cresting a steep ramp, or inching past a snow berm—and the hood blocks your view. You don’t want another dangling screen, and you definitely don’t want to snake cables through the firewall.
CB7S X-Series lets a camera feed go straight into the box so your existing head unit (with wired CarPlay/Android Auto) can see and record what the camera sees—right on the big screen you already use.

What it is

CB7S X-models (e.g., CB7SAX / CB7SBX / CB7SCX / CB7SDX) include an HD Video In (AHD) port that brings camera video into the CB7S Android layer. You can watch and, in DVR mode, record and play back on your OEM or aftermarket CarPlay head unit.
●Mode toggle (mutually exclusive):

○HDMI Mode → Enables HDMI Video Out / HDMI Video Input; disables AHD/DVR
○DVR Mode → Enables AHD camera + DVR (1080p/30fps); disables HDMI In/Out

●Note: “TN” variants support HDMI In/Out but do not have HD Video In (AHD).

Why it matters

●A true front view, where OEMs stop at rear. Most cars give you a factory reverse cam—HD Video In adds an easy wireless front view option (via WR2) without a painful wire run.
●Dashcam without a second screen. Pair with the ATOTO 1080p camera and let CB7S handle the encoding. Record, browse, and play back clips on the head unit, no awkward phone transfers.
●Clean, native feel. Everything lives inside the CB7S Android experience that already upgraded you with wireless CarPlay/Android Auto and HDMI options.
●Ready for what’s next. The same camera path underpins ATOTO AI Vision (periodic, cloud-assisted guidance—not real-time ADAS).

Two plug-and-play paths

Path A • WR2 Wireless Camera (HD 720p) — your invisible spotter up front

●What it is: A battery camera (TX) at the plate + a receiver (RX) that outputs AHD 720p into HD Video In on CB7S.
●Mounting:

○Front plate → Wireless front view for alley U-turns, steep driveways, trail approaches, winter piles.
○Rear plate → Cordless reverse solution if your vehicle lacks OEM rear cam.

●Why it helps: No long cable runs. Quick checks for curbs, rocks, kids’ bikes—protect the bumper, wheels, and most importantly, people.

Path B • ATOTO 1080p FHD Camera + CB7S DVR — a smarter dashcam, the ATOTO way

●How it’s different: The camera is just the lens—CB7S does the computing. Get 1080p/30fps recording, adjustable clip length, loop overwrite with manual-lock protection, and on-screen playback on the head unit you already trust.
●What it doesn’t try to be:

○No G-sensor for auto emergency lock (use manual lock when needed)
○No parking surveillance mode
○Focused on simple, reliable on-road capture that’s easy to review in the car

Accessories sold separately. WR2 set, 1080p camera, OBD adapters, etc. CB7S supplies the interface and apps—you build the setup your way.

(Periodic cloud analysis; not a real-time safety/ADAS system)
● Using periodic snapshots (tens of seconds to ~2 minutes), cloud models analyze the scene alongside on-box GPS and optional Bluetooth OBD data to provide gentle, useful guidance: Overspeed reminders (custom threshold + duration)
●Low-fuel helpers (OBD < ¼ tank → nearby stations via GPS)
●OBD code insights (model-aware lookups and suggestions)
●POI Q&A for passengers (nearby sights/services explained)
●Road-condition cues (wet/muddy/snow/ice/unpaved indicators)
●Cabin belongings awareness (optional pet/kids check-ins; left-behind hints like “baby asleep → lower volume”)
Important: AI Vision augments driver judgment. It’s not real-time ADAS and not a safety system.

The short version

On CB7S X-models, HD Video In lets you add a camera feed directly to the box so your OEM/aftermarket head unit can see and record that feed on the big screen. Choose your path:
1.WR2 Wireless Camera (HD 720p AHD) → Mount at the front plate for a wireless front view (or rear plate for cordless reverse).
2.ATOTO 1080p FHD Camera + CB7S DVR → Mount near the interior rear-view mirror; CB7S encodes and stores video; 1080p/30fps; on-screen review—no phone shuffling.

Setup cheat-sheet

1.Mount your camera
• WR2 front view: secure TX at the front plate; place RX near CB7S.
2. • ATOTO 1080p FHD: mount by the interior mirror, facing forward. Wire the video
• WR2 RX → CB7S HD Video In (AHD 720p)
• ATOTO FHD cam → CB7S HD Video In (AHD 1080p)
3.Power it right
If your head-unit USB can’t supply enough current, use the Y-cable: data from the CP/AA USB, power from a separate 12V fast-charge outlet.
4.Pick your mode
Switch in Settings: DVR Mode for camera/recording, or HDMI Mode for HDMI In/Out. Change anytime as needs evolve.
5.Tune the DVR (FHD camera)
Set clip length, confirm 1080p/30, enable loop overwrite, and learn the manual lock for important moments.

Who gets the most from HD Video In

●Families daily drivers who want a wireless front view without tearing the car apart (and already have OEM rear view).
●Commuters road-trippers who value easy on-screen playback today and plan to try AI Vision as it rolls out.
●DIY upgraders seeking an OEM-looking, screen-free camera experience on an OEM CarPlay head unit.

Practical tips for a rock-solid install

●Cabling: keep runs short and tidy; use shielded leads; add ferrite cores if you notice interference.
●Thermals: cameras and continuous DVR raise temps—mount CB7S with good airflow and avoid covering it.
●Storage hygiene: check free space; loop overwrite keeps you rolling—lock important clips.
●Legal privacy: follow local recording laws; get consent where required; never let screens distract the driver.

SEO-friendly buyer’s note

Comparing OEM CarPlay Android AI Box options or a wireless CarPlay adapter with Android OS? The ATOTO CB7S X-Series can add an AI Vision camera to an OEM CarPlay head unit and add a wireless front-view camera via HD Video In (AHD). It can also turn your OEM CarPlay car stereo into an intelligent in-car infotainment system with HDMI Video Out / HDMI Video Input for devices like Amazon Fire TV, Google Chromecast, Apple TV, Roku, or even DVD/Blu-ray players (via HDMI, not the AHD port).

Final purchase note (features evolve)
