Can backup camera be paired to iPhone?

I can't tell if the USB cable is charging the camera. I installed it anyway and it has 1 bar. It seems like the cable enclosed doesn't fit right

To check if the USB cable is charging the Whistler WBU-800 camera properly, follow these steps:

1. Connect the supplied USB cord to the micro USB port of the camera.
2. Plug the USB cable into a standard USB charger with an output of 500mA or higher.
3. Observe the power switch—if it illuminates, the camera is charging.
4. Charge the camera for 5 to 6 hours.
5. When charging is complete, the illumination of the power switch will turn off.
6. Ensure the USB door is securely closed to maintain waterproof integrity.

If the power switch does not illuminate or the camera does not hold a charge, there may be an issue with the USB cable, charger, or camera battery.
