Install the rear camera.
- Connect the rear camera with the extension cable into DL12 Pro Dash Cam to check whether the rear camera works well.
- Installation position options.
- Install the rear camera on the rear windshield. Position 1 is designed for live stream rear review only, not for reversing guide. This installation is much easier than others.
Install the rear camera near the license plate. Position 2 is highly recommended. The back image is crisp and clear for both the rear viewing and reversing guide.
To use the reversing function, please install the rear camera in position 2, then connect the red trigger wire of the rear camera extension cable to the positive lead of the vehicle reversing lamp.
Pay attention to the connector position when connecting the rear camera with the extension cable. Please refer to the below details.
Please clean the position to ensure the adhesive quality before installing the rear camera. Please clean the rear windshield regularly to ensure the image quality if you choose a position. If you choose position 2, you can install the rear camera with the included adhesive stickers or screws.
