CAMERA POWER CONNECTION
The camera is powered by plugging the camera connector into the vehicle’s towing plug.
The camera has a 4 position connector which will attach directly to many vehicles and
has a pass-though design that will allow it to be plugged between the vehicle and trailer.
Some vehicles may need a 7 position to 4 position adapter
(figure 5)
which is not included.
NOTE: A commonly available 4 position tow wire extension (not included) will allow the
camera to be mounted farther away from the vehicle plug for gooseneck or fifth wheel
trailer hitching up applications.
Notice: Depending on the make/model of the vehicle the running lights or headlights
may need to be turned on to power up the vehicle’s tow plug.

in the camera base will hold it securely in place, however the plastic guide on the
camera bracket will help line the assembly up with the hitch pin opening and allow
a standard or locking hitch pin to be used for additional security.
The camera can also be mounted to any metal surface using the magnetic base.
