Mounting Options:
- Flush Mount: For a discreet, integrated look. Requires drilling a hole for the camera body.
- Square Mount: A surface-mount option, typically used on flat areas.
- Rubber Mount (Angled): Provides an angled view, often used for specific bumper or panel contours.
- License Plate Bar Mount (Angled): Designed to attach to the vehicle's license plate frame for easy installation.
General Installation Steps:
- Choose Mounting Location: Select the optimal mounting location based on visibility and vehicle aesthetics.
- Install Camera Mount: Secure the chosen mount using the provided screws or adhesive. Ensure the camera is oriented correctly.
- Route Cables: Carefully route the power and video cables from the camera to the vehicle's interior, avoiding moving parts, sharp edges, and heat sources.
- Connect Power:
- Connect the red wire of the power cable to a 12V reverse light power source (positive). This ensures the camera activates when the vehicle is in reverse.
- Connect the black wire of the power cable to a vehicle ground (negative).
- Connect Video:
- Connect the yellow RCA video cable from the camera to the video input of your display monitor or head unit.
- If your monitor requires a trigger wire for reverse activation, connect the small red wire integrated into the RCA cable to the reverse trigger input of your monitor.
- Test System: Reconnect the vehicle battery. Engage reverse gear (with the parking brake on and foot on the brake pedal) to verify the camera image appears on your display.
- Finalize Installation: Secure all cables and components, ensuring no loose wires or potential hazards.
