2.2 How to install the (optional) rear view camera
The rear view camera is usually installed above the middle of the license plate frame.
If your vehicle does not already have a
reverse camera installed it is recommended
you install a camera above the rear number
plate as close to the centre of the vehicle as possible. Installing a rear camera will allow for both
front and rear simultaneous recording and rear view blind spot viewing when the reverse gear is
selected. The optional rear view camera is sold separately.
If you install an optional rear view camera, please ensure
you select a high quality camera as it will be functional at
all times while the vehicle is operational and recording to
the DVR. We also recommend you select a wide angle
camera that clearly captures both rear view traffic and
reverse parking viewing angles. To view the complete
range of Parkmate rear view cameras, visit
