Camera Placement
To capture the image of a license plate, the vehicle cannot be traveling more than 30 mph, and the camera
must be positioned within a specific range. Also, since some jurisdictions only require license plates to be
displayed on the back of the vehicle (for instance, on motorcycles in most locations) the camera should be
positioned to see them. The position of the camera should meet the following four criteria:
Horizontal distance
: The camera must be placed within 50 feet of the target license plate.
Horizontal range
: Horizontally, the camera must be positioned between 8° and 35° left or right of
the centerline of the vehicle.

Step 1. Installing the camera
When installing the camera, the video and power drop cables can be routed through the mounting
surface behind the mounting plate (most secure), or through cable guides on the sides of the mounting
plate.
1. Find the optimal position for the camera, observing the
Camera Position
guidelines above.
2. Determine and acquire fasteners adequate to attach the camera to the mounting surface. The screws
and wall inserts are provided with your camera work well with many surface types.
