4.3. Camera Installation

The camera can be installed in two primary ways:

1. Wired to Reverse Light: Connect the camera's red wire to the vehicle's reverse light positive (+) and the black wire to ground (-). This powers the camera only when reversing.
2. Wired to Running Light/License Plate Light: Connect the camera's red wire to a running light or license plate light positive (+) and the black wire to ground (-). This provides continuous power, allowing the camera to function as a rear-view mirror.

Securely mount the camera to the rear of your vehicle, typically above the license plate or on a suitable metal surface, ensuring a clear view. Use the provided screws for a firm attachment.
