Alternate Installation Suggestions 

In some cases it may be necessary to mount the QuickVu™ camera in an alternate manner to ensure proper 
illumination or visibility of the license plate.  Here are a few possible alternatives to consider.  Remember, you 
are responsible for the proper use of the QuickVu™ camera, and any installation choices are your 
responsibility.  Any extra hardware mentioned (bolts, nuts, washers, brackets, strapping, etc.) are not included 
with the QuickVu™ Wireless Backup Camera, but you should be able to obtain them at a local hardware or 
home improvement store. 

 

If mounting the camera at the top of the license plate would obscure information on the plate or 
would leave the plate in shadows, you may be able to mount the camera at the bottom of the plate.  If 
your vehicle has lower license plate mounting holes, simply mount the camera at the bottom of the 
plate.  If there are no mounting holes at the bottom of the plate, you may be able to mount the camera 
directly to the license plate.  Using short ¼” bolts and matching nuts and lock washers (not included), 
attach the camera to the bottom of the license plate.  Mount the license plate to the vehicle in the 
usual manner. 

 

In some cases, mounting the camera directly to the bottom of the license plate (see above) may 
obscure important information on the plate.  In such a case, you may be able to mount the camera 
below the plate.  Using short ¼” bolts, matching nuts and lock washers, and 1” steel strapping, bolt the 
camera to the strapping and the strapping to the license plate. 

 

If the need is to allow the light above the license plate to shine on the plate, you may be able to mount 
the camera above the license plate with a 1” spacer.  Fashion two U-shaped brackets.  Mount the 
brackets to the license plate with the existing mounting screws, and then mount the camera to the 
brackets with ¼” bolts and matching nuts and lock washers.
