Warnings The product is intended to assist in safe driving and to allow the driver to have a broader rear view while the vehicle is in reverse. You, as the driver, are solely responsible for the safe operation of your vehicle and the safety of your passengers according to local traffic regulations. Do not use any features of this system to the extent it distracts you from safe driving. Your first priority while driving should always be the safe operation of your vehicle.
Product Description This revolutionary 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. We have also included a surface mount bracket to help with other installation methods. This Wired Camera is compatible with most monitors/TFT screens and can be connected using a standard RCA connector.
Camera Installation License Plate Mounting Instructions 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 your installation plan complies with local laws and requirements.

If drilling a hole, perform the following steps: a) Acquire a 5/8 inch drill bit, 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 interfere with or be damaged during drilling. c) Check for interference with license plate lights and the hatch release switch and/or mechanism. d) Drill a 5/8 inch hole at the selected location.
sure that the mounting screws will not hit any wires or equipment inside the vehicle. 2. Attach the surface mounting bracket to the vehicle with the hardware included. 3. 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 5/8 inch hole drilled near the vehicle’s rear license plate.
Obtaining Reverse Power 1. Locate the reverse lamp in the tail light assembly. 2. Using the tap connector supplied, perform the following steps: a) Place the un-stripped positive lead from the tail lamp in the run channel, which runs completely through the connector. b) Insert the un-stripped red power wire from the camera completely into the other channel in the connector.
Reverse/Normal Image Adjustment The camera comes standard with a reversed image, designed for mounting at the rear of the vehicle. If you need to change to a forward or normal image view, clip the blue jumper wire loop on the wiring cable (labeled “Mirror Selection” below) to change the camera image to normal. Secure the clipped wires with electrical tape. To change back to reverse image view, reconnect the blue wires and secure with electrical tape.
