Product Description

This camera design integrates a backup camera with your vehicle’s rear license plate without covering the license plate. The camera is easy to mount on your car, truck, or van with the bracket being hidden by your license plate. A universal surface mount is included to assist with other mounting locations.

This Wired Camera is compatible with most monitors/TFT screens and can be connected using a standard RCA connector.

System Layout

License Plate Mounting

1. Remove the rear license plate.

2. Examine the vehicle to determine the best way to run the power wires to the reverse lights and the extension cable through the car.

3. The Camera can be mounted above or below the plate. (For surface
   mounting with the included bracket, see the next section.) Determine the mounting location that best suits your needs. Be sure to verify that the installation plan complies with local laws and requirements. Most states require that the state name, registration stickers, and license number are not obstructed in any way.

4. Place the camera bracket behind the license plate and line up the holes. Fasten the camera mounting bracket and the license plate to the vehicle using the anti-theft screws provided. After installation of screws with the tool provided, place the tool in the glove compartment or other safe place for future use.
   NOTE: If you decide to mount the camera at the bottom of the license
   plate, you must first remove the screw that holds the camera to the bracket and flip the camera over so the picture will not be displayed up side down.

5. Route the camera wiring into the vehicle. The wire can be run through an existing grommet, behind a tail lamp, under the trunk molding, or if necessary, through a 5/16 inch hole drilled near the vehicle’s rear license plate. When choosing a wiring path, make sure the cable will not be damaged or pinched, as this may cause a short circuit that is not covered by the warranty. If drilling a hole, perform the following steps:

• A. Acquire a 5/16 inch drill bit and rust preventive, all of which can be purchased at a hardware store.
• B. Check behind the intended drilling location before drilling to verify that no wires or mechanisms can will be damaged during drilling.
• C. Check for interference with license plate lights and the hatch release switch and/or mechanism.
• D. Drill a 5/16 inch hole at the selected location.
• E. Coat the edge of the hole with rust preventative.
• F. Route the camera cable through the grommet and then through the hole.
• G. Insert the grommet in the hole to keep water from entering the vehicle.
