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 cameras 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.
