2. Package Contents
Please verify that all components are present in your package:
- 1 x Stainless Steel License Plate Bracket
- 1 x Stainless Steel Camera Holder

3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your backup camera using the Pixelman license plate mount.
3.1. Verify Camera Compatibility
Before installation, ensure your rear view camera has a screw hole distance of 13mm (approximately 0.51 inches). This mount is designed to fit cameras with this specific measurement.
3.2. Attach Camera to Mount
- Carefully remove the existing small bracket from your backup camera, if applicable.
- Align the screw holes of your backup camera with the holes on the Pixelman camera holder.
- Secure the camera to the holder using the provided stainless steel screws and the small screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
- Attach the camera holder assembly to the main license plate bracket using the remaining screws. Ensure the camera is facing the correct direction.
3.3. Install on Vehicle
- Remove your vehicle's rear license plate.
- Place the Pixelman license plate mount behind your license plate, aligning the screw holes.
- Insert the silicone protective gaskets between the license plate and the vehicle to prevent scratching and reduce vibration.
- Re-attach the license plate and the mounted camera bracket to your vehicle using your existing license plate screws. Ensure all screws are tightened securely.
- Connect your backup camera's wiring to your vehicle's electrical system as per your camera's specific instructions.
Important: This rear view camera bracket is designed for US car license plates only. Before finalizing the installation, test the camera's image to ensure it is not upside down and provides the desired view. Adjust the camera angle on the mount as needed before fully tightening the screws.
4. Operating the Mount
The Pixelman license plate mount serves as a stable and adjustable platform for your backup camera. Once installed, the camera's angle can be adjusted vertically to achieve the optimal viewing perspective. The operation of the backup camera itself (e.g., display on screen, guidelines) is dependent on the specific camera model and your vehicle's infotainment system.
5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Pixelman license plate mount:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the mount and camera lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, and road grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Inspect the mount for any signs of damage or corrosion. Although made of stainless steel, extreme conditions can still affect its appearance over time.
- Corrosion Resistance: The upgraded stainless steel construction provides superior resistance to rust and corrosion compared to standard materials.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during installation or use, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Camera does not fit the mount. | Verify that your camera's screw hole distance is 13mm (0.51 inches). If not, the mount may not be compatible. |
| Mount does not fit the license plate area. | This mount is designed for US car license plates. Ensure your vehicle uses a standard US license plate. |
| Camera image is upside down after installation. | Before fully tightening, test the camera's image. If upside down, adjust the camera's orientation on the mount or check your camera's settings for image flip options. |
| Mount feels loose after installation. | Ensure all screws securing the camera to the holder and the holder to the bracket, as well as the license plate to the vehicle, are tightened securely. |
