Position of camera
• Select a high and centered location at
the rear of the vehicle to mount the
STSC141 camera
IMPORTANT
• When mounting your
new backup camera, it is highly
recommended that the image
transmitted by the camera show
the rear bumper and area behind
the vehicle.
• We do not recommend mounting
the camera near the lower area of
the vehicle (ex. bumper). This reduces
the view of the camera and increases
the chance of physical damage to
the camera.
• Once the location for the camera is
chosen, using a 3/16 drill bit, drill
four holes into the vehicle using
the bracket as a guid. Be sure to
clear any obstacles before drilling holes.
• Using a 5/8 drill bit, drill a hole into the
vehicle. Insert wire gramment and
safely pass the camera wire through
and mount securely in place.
• To finalize the camera installation, hand
tighten the camera wire to your
extension cable. Make sure male
pins are inserted into female adaptor
correctly. You are ready to conceal
your extension cable.

Vehicle Rear Bumper
• Connect the red wire to an ignition switched accessory (ex. radio) power source,
and connect the black wire to chassis ground. See wiring diagram for connections.
• Attach monitor inside vehicle in a location convenient to the driver ( ex. center of dash,
overhead, or flush-mounted in dash).
• Attach the "duckfoot" bracket to the dashboard or to the headline using self-tapping
screws and/or adhesive pad.
• Fasten monitor to "duckfoot" and adjust mounting angle to allow optimum driver viewing comfort.
• The monitor terminates in a 13-pin connector, which should be connected to the mating 13-pin
receptacle end of the power/video/audio distribution harness.
• Connect the camera extension cable from the rear-view camera to the power/video/audio distribution
wire connector. The camera to cable connection is waterproof. Be sure to position the cable properly.
The male end attaches to the camera. The female end attaches to the power/video/ audio distribution
harness, typically located under the dashboard.
• The green wire is the REVERSE trigger wire. In typical rear-view installations, connecting this wire to the
vehicle's backup light circuit will activate the rear-view image whenever the vehicle shifts into reverse.
• Feed as much cable as possible into vehicle and clamp securely. This reduces the possibility of it
being hooked or snagged.
• Keep all cables away from
HOT, ROTATING and ELECTRICALLY NOISY components.
• FUEL TANKERS & OTHER SPECIALTY VEHICLES: All electrical equipment fitted to petroleum vehicles
must be connected via battery master switch and must be isolated from the battery while the vehicles
are loading and unloading. For other specialty vehicles, please check applicable code and regulations
prior to installation.
• Always consult your dealer when fitting any electrical or electronic equipment to a vehicle fitted with
a CAN-bus multiplex system.
