Suitable Installation Position

For optimum performance, the camera should be mounted where there is minimal obstruction between the camera and the monitor. Dense side-wall material and electrical appliances can reduce signal strength.

• Where practical, as high as possible at the rear of the vehicle.
• Horizontal center of the vehicle or as close as is optimal.
• Mount the camera at least 2 inches above or below running lights. Close proximity to lights may cause image blooming, blurring, and reduced night vision performance.
• The area should be flat with enough surface area to accommodate the bracket.
• The surface area should be clean and dry for a watertight installation.
• Ensure that power can be fed to the installation area from within the vehicle.

Testing

Prior to permanently mounting the camera, it is advisable to check if the intended mounting location will achieve an adequate signal.

• Pair the camera and monitor (see Pairing the Camera and Monitor section).
• Temporarily secure the camera in the intended location or as close as possible.
• Check the signal icon on the monitor. Ideally, there should be 3-4 bars.
• If the signal is 0-1 bar, reposition the camera and or monitor. The signal can also be improved by decreasing the amount of obstructions between the camera and the monitor.

Doorway Camera Installation (if purchased)

1. Select a suitable mounting position where you are going to install the doorway camera. Mark a basic outline using the provided bracket gasket. (Fig. 10)
2. Drill a 5/8” center hole on the vehicle wall using a 5/8” hole saw. (Fig. 11)
