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:

  1. Choose Mounting Location: Select the optimal mounting location based on visibility and vehicle aesthetics.
  2. Install Camera Mount: Secure the chosen mount using the provided screws or adhesive. Ensure the camera is oriented correctly.
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Finalize Installation: Secure all cables and components, ensuring no loose wires or potential hazards.
