3. Install your rear-view camera monitor. There are several possible locations to install the monitor. The most common locations are on the dashboard or sun visor. The monitor will allow you to view anything behind your car before you back out, so it should be placed in a location that is convenient when driving.

4. Use a drill to install the camera.Mount the camera on the bumper, license plate, or other location at the rear of the vehicle. The kit will include all the necessary mounting hardware. Attach the camera’s power wire to the back-up light power wire on your car. If you purchased a wireless camera, you do not need to wire the camera. Reconnect the car battery.

Tips:

  • Many rear-view cameras are designed to only work when you have the car in reverse. The manufacturer may provide instructions on how to rewire it to work anytime the car is turned on.
  • Before you permanently mount the monitor, try different locations to make sure it stays put and that you are happy with where it is located. Most kits come with double-sided tape, screws, and other mounting hardware.
  • You can mount the camera on the car’s plastic bumper if you want to avoid drilling into your car’s sheet metal.
