How to install a reversing camera

How to install reversing cameras. Reversing cameras have been gaining popularity significantly over time. Initially, they were considered an expensive technology difficult to access for average users. However, today's situation is completely different, as everyone can afford such convenience and comfort. After purchasing, the only remaining issue is installation, which may seem difficult at first. In this article, we'll try to explain exactly how this process should be carried out!

The process of assembling a dedicated camera

One of the options available on the market is dedicated dashcams, which are probably the most popular. Why? Mainly because of their relatively simple installation, which should be hassle-free. What should you consider when buying? First and foremost, you should know the exact model of your car, as well as the dimensions and mounting location of the license plate light. If you've managed to gather all the information, all that's left to do is order the device you're interested in. Installation itself is trivial, as you simply need to place the device in the location of the license plate light. You'll come across two mounting methods, some using a snap fastener, while others are held in place with mounting screws.

On the Car-tronic website, you'll find a wide selection of dedicated rearview cameras. These products are an excellent choice for those looking for convenience and comfort in the most intuitive way possible. Installing the device should take less than 5 minutes, then all that's left is to configure all the image sources with the monitor.

Installing a universal camera

Universal reversing cameras are primarily characterized by full adjustment. They also offer a wide range of viewing angles, but installation will be much more difficult than with dedicated solutions. What should you do? Unfortunately, you can't avoid interfering with the vehicle's sheet metal structure. If you want to mount the device correctly, you'll first need to drill two holes that will allow for easy installation. Regardless, the first step will be to remove the license plate. Next, place the reversing camera above the license plate and use a marker to mark the mounting hole locations. The next step is to drill the holes precisely – we recommend taking care not to damage the sheet metal. The final steps in the installation process will be to peel off the protective film from the camera and secure it with screws above the license plate.

How to mount a reversing camera in the frame?

Framed rearview cameras are also a good option for beginners, as their installation process is almost as simple as dedicated solutions. All you need are two screws and a screwdriver. First, remove the license plate, attach the license plate frame where you previously mounted the camera, and finally, tighten the metal screws, and the job is done!

Camera installation with multimedia station

If you've already installed your reversing camera, now comes the most difficult part: connecting it directly to the multimedia station, which will display the images from the installed cameras. You can choose a standalone station or a separate LCD monitor, which are becoming increasingly affordable. Connecting the cables is time-consuming, as it can take up to four hours. Equip yourself with detailed instructions for your monitor so you can easily locate all the wire connections. Follow the instructions, and everything should work!

Regardless, we believe that when it comes to wiring, it's worth considering contacting a specialist who, for a relatively small fee, will ensure the proper wiring. This way, you can protect yourself against any potential problems that could arise during amateur installation.

Other types of reversing cameras

Of course, there are other types of reversing cameras available on the market. However, we believe their installation methods are no different from dedicated solutions, so we're omitting them from this article.
