3. Setup and Installation

The Pyle PLCMTR83QIR system is designed for easy wireless setup, minimizing the need for long cable runs. Follow these steps for proper installation.

3.1 Camera Installation

1. Choose Mounting Location: Select a suitable location for each camera on your vehicle (car, truck, bus, van, trailer). Common locations include the rear of the vehicle for backup, or sides for blind spot monitoring. Ensure the camera has a clear line of sight.
2. Secure Cameras: Mount each camera securely using the provided hardware. The cameras are IP-68 marine grade waterproof and designed for outdoor use.
3. Connect Power: Connect the camera's DC power cable to a 12V DC power source on your vehicle. For a backup camera, this is typically connected to the reverse light circuit so it powers on when reversing. For continuous monitoring, connect to a constant 12V source.
4. Attach Antennas: Screw the 2.4G antennas onto each camera. Ensure they are tightened securely for optimal wireless signal transmission.
