Product Description
This revolutionary camera design integrates a wireless 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.
This Wireless Camera transmits a signal using a 2.4 GHz frequency. Reception can be affected
by use of other wireless products utilizing the same frequency, i.e. cell phones and Bluetooth
products. Static or scrolling lines on the monitor are a normal and may be caused by other
wireless products. This is not the result of a defective product.
The wireless receiver has been developed to convert a hard wire camera/monitor system to a
wireless operation. The following information contained in the installation manual is for
camera backup systems. Note: this product can be used on any Camera/Monitor system.

Camera Installation
NOTE: The transmitting antenna is located in the camera’s wire shielding. When
installing the camera wire, straighten the wire for best transmission, allowing the monitor
to receive the clearest image possible. DO NOT CUT THIS WIRE.
1. Remove the rear license plate to determine the best way to run the power wires to the
reverse lights.
2. The camera cable can be routed through an existing grommet, or through a 5/8 inch
hole drilled near the vehicle’s rear license plate. Be sure to check behind the intended
drilling location before drilling to ensure no wires or mechanisms interfere or could
be damaged during drilling. Check for interference with license plate lights and the
hatch release switch and/or mechanism. If not using an existing factory grommet, drill
a 5/8 inch hole at the selected location. Coat the edge of the hole with rust

preventative. Route the camera cable connector through the hole and insert the
grommet into the hole to prevent water from entering into the vehicle.
3. 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.
4. Wire the Camera to the vehicle’s reverse lamp.
a) Locate the reverse lamp in the tail light assembly. Using the tap connector
supplied, perform the following steps:
i. Place the un-stripped positive lead wire on the run channel.
ii. Insert the un-stripped red power wire completely.
iii. Fold the tap connector back over the wires and make the connection by
crimping the u-contact down flush with the plastic insulator.

iv. Close the top hinged cover until latched.
b) Attach the black wire to the ground.
i. Place the un-stripped ground lead wire on the
run channel. Tap/Run Connection
ii. Insert the un-stripped black ground wire completely.
iii. Fold the tap connector back over the wires and make the connection by
crimping the u-contact down flush with the plastic insulator.
iv. Close the top hinged cover until latched.
c) Reverse/Normal Image Jumper: The blue jumper wire loop is located at the
camera cable connector, installed in the harness. The camera image is pre-wired
for reverse image. If mounting the camera on the front of the vehicle, cut the
blue wire loop to change the camera image to normal. Secure cut wires with
electrical tape.
