INSTALLATION

• These instructions do not apply to all vehicles. They are only meant as a general guide due to the number of different makes & models.
• For vehicle-specific questions contact your vehicle’ your vehicle’s manufacturer. s manufacturer. s manufacturer.

Camera installation

• There are several ways to mount the camera on the back of your car. But the most convenient is to mount it near the license plate. Supplied is one mounting plate that can be fixed behind the license plate, and the mounting plate has been installed in the camera.
• The camera itself is screwed on the mounting plate. The camera is tiltable, camera angle can be adjusted manually in a vertical direction. Make sure that its field of view and detection are not obstructed.

1. Remove the rear license plate, and then loosen the license plate bolts/screws.
2. Position the supplied mounting plate (with the camera together) behind the license plate bracket. Secure both license plate brackets and mounting plates with the license plate bracket bolts/ screws.
3. Mount the license plate on the license plate bracket.
   • With some types of cars, it is not possible to mount the camera near the license plate. You may have to find another spot at the back of your car to mount it.

After choosing the method of mounting, follow these installation steps:

1. Choose a routing path for the camera’s power cable through the vehicle’s body to the reverse light circuit. If in doubt, seek professional installation assistance.

2. Some vehicles may have a hole available to pass the wire through, such as where the license plate light is mounted, or you can drill a hole close to where the power cable is attached to the camera. Once you have chosen where the cable will enter the vehicle’s body, remove the camera. If you are able to use an existing opening, skip the next two steps.

3. Before you drill a hole you must check and see what’s behind where you are drilling. If there are any vehicle components, such as electrical parts or fuel system components behind where you are drilling, you must take whatever precaution is necessary not to damage them.
   Remove the license plate and camera before drilling.

4. After you have drilled the hole, insert the supplied grommet, then pass the camera cables through the grommet into the vehicle. You must use the grommet to prevent the metal edge of the hole from cutting the camera cable.

5. Next, you’ll need to find the vehicle’s reverse lights. Turn the vehicle’s ignition key to the accessory position, engage the parking brake, and put the car in reverse. Look at the vehicle’s tail lights to see where the reverse lights are located, they are the white lights. To locate the reverse light’s 12V/24V + wire it will be necessary to gain access to the rear of the vehicle’s tail light. For help locating the vehicle’s reverse light circuit contact your vehicle’s manufacturer for vehicle-specific wiring diagrams.

6. Once you have located the reverse light circuit you will have to route the camera cable to that location. You must securely fasten the power cable to prevent it from being caught on any vehicle component such as the trunk hinge. Never route the cable on the outside of the vehicle!

7. The reverse light sockets on most vehicles have two wires connected to them. Usually, the negative wire is black and the positive wire is a colored wire. If you are uncertain about the wiring, you can use a 12V/24V multimeter available at most auto parts stores to determine which is the positive wire. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the safe use of the multimeter.

17. Next, splice the black wire of the camera power cable to the reverse light’s negative (‐) wire or ground.

18. Replace the reverse light bulb, and then re‐install the light socket. Secure all the wires with cable ties or electrical tape.

19. Re‐attach the negative battery cable to the battery.
