Detailed Installation Instructions
Camera
1. Remove the bolts from the rear license plate.
2. Insert the bolts through the holes in the camera and the holes in the license plate, and re-mount the
license plate on the car. Be careful not to over-tighten the bolts and crack the plastic housing. That’s
it! The camera is installed.
Monitor (if purchased with camera)
1. You may mount the monitor directly to a vertical surface of the dash with hook-and-loop tape, or you
may use the provided mounting bracket to mount the monitor on a horizontal surface. If you want to
use the provided monitor mounting bracket, secure the bracket to the monitor with 4 screws provided.
2. Identify the location1on the dashboard where the monitor will be visible to the driver, the
pushbuttons on the control box will be within reach of the driver, and the driver’s view of the road will
not be obscured. Clean all oil and dust from the dash, so the adhesive of the hook-and-loop tape will
hold fast to the dash.
3. Remove the backing from one side of a 2”x2” square of hook-and-loop tape and press the exposed
adhesive firmly to the base of the monitor bracket (or the back of the monitor, if not using the
bracket).
4. Remove the backing from the other side of the 2”x2” square of hook-and-loop tape and press the
exposed adhesive firmly to the clean dash in the desired location.
Control box
1. If you are using a monitor purchased with the camera, you will mount the control box near the monitor
to be sure that the cables from the monitor will reach the sockets at the back of the control box. If you
have a different monitor, be sure that the video cable from the monitor will reach the control box.
2. Identify the location1on the dashboard where the monitor will be visible to the driver, the
pushbuttons on the control box will be within reach of the driver, and the driver’s view of the road will
not be obscured. Clean all oil and dust from the dash, so the adhesive will hold fast to the dash.
3. Remove the backing from one side of a 2”x2” square of hook-and-loop tape and press the exposed
adhesive firmly to the bottom of the control box.
4. Remove the backing from the other side of the 2”x2” square of hook-and-loop tape and press the
exposed adhesive firmly to the clean dash in the desired location.
Connections
1. Plug the yellow RCA connector from the monitor into the RCA jack at the back of the control box.
2. Plug the DC connector from the monitor into the “12V Out” jack at the back of the control box.
3. Plug the DC power cable into the “12V In” jack at the back of the control box.
4. Plug the DC power cable into the auxiliary power outlet (cigarette lighter socket) of your car.
5. Optionally, use the USB socket to charge or power a cell phone, GPS, or other device.
1Before permanently mounting the monitor and control box, test the reception of the camera signal in the desired location. You
may find that one location may have better reception than another. Choose a location with good reception that is still visible and
within easy reach.
