BEFORE using the Vehicle Back Up Camera, please read the following
safety information. ALWAYS use the
Vehicle Back Up Camera
as outlined
here.
WARNING
• A failure to read and follow these warnings and instructions may result in a
serious accident, including damaged property or a serious injury, including loss
of life.
• The Vehicle Back-Up Camera is designed as an aid to the driver in detecting
large stationary objects to help avoid damaging the vehicle. However, you, the
driver, must use it safely and properly. Use of the Vehicle Backup Camera is
not a substitute for safe, proper and legal driving.
• Never back up while looking only at the screen. You should always check
behind and around the vehicle when backing up just as you would if the
vehicle did not have the Vehicle Back-Up Camera. Always make sure your
intended path is clear. If you back up while looking only at the monitor, you
may hit a vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist, child, pet or other object resulting in
injury or death. Always back up slowly.
• Never depend on the Vehicle Back-Up Camera entirely when backing up. The
image on the screen is different from actual conditions. Objects viewed in the
rear view monitor differ from actual distance because a wide-angle lens is
used. Objects in the rear view monitor will appear visually opposite than when
viewed in the rear view and outside mirrors. Use the inside mirror or glance
over your shoulder to properly judge distances to other objects.
• The Vehicle Back-Up Camera’s “night vision” feature is an aid to a driver but is
limited. Always use your own eyes to confirm the vehicle’s surroundings, as
the displayed image may be faint or dark, distorted, or not entirely visible.
Always check behind and all around the vehicle visually and with mirrors
before proceeding.
• The area displayed by the Vehicle Back-Up Camera is limited. Vehicle
Back-Up Camera does not display objects that are close to or below the
bumper, underneath the vehicle, or objects out of the camera’s field of view.
The area displayed on the screen may vary according to vehicle orientation or
road conditions.
• The Vehicle Back-Up Camera is not intended for use during longer backing
maneuvers or backing into potential crossing traffic or pedestrians. Crossing
traffic or pedestrians may be approaching outside of the camera’s field of view.
• Be sure to check the camera’s position and mounting angle before each use.
• Make sure the trunk, hatch, or backdoor is completely and securely closed
when backing up.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting angle of the Vehicle
Back-Up Camera may change.
• When washing the vehicle with high pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water may enter the camera unit causing water
condensation on the lens, a malfunction, fire or an electric shock.
• Do not strike the camera. It is a precision instrument. Otherwise, it may
malfunction or cause damage resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
• This product will only provide images of items that are within the field of view
of the camera. Thus, it is imperative that the camera should be kept clean and
unobstructed, and should mounted so that its field of view includes the entire
area behind your vehicle.
CAUTION:
Keep away from reach of children may cause serious injury.
These installation instructions do not apply to all types of vehicles. They are
meant only as a general guide due to the large number of vehicle makes and
models. For vehicle specific questions, contact your vehicle’s manufacturer.
Consult your local motor vehicle laws on the use of this product to be sure it is
permitted.
WARNING
• Through installation of the Vehicle Back-Up Camera you should be sure not to
degrade the safety of any system or device on your vehicle, including Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
• Improper installation and wiring of the Vehicle Back-Up Camera system may
damage the vehicle’s electrical system, including vital vehicle computer and
operating systems. That could lead to an accident or fire, causing property
damage and/or serious personal injury. If you are unsure with the installation,
it is recommended to seek professional installation advice from qualified auto
electrician or, in the alternative, to have the installation performed by a
qualified auto electrician.

HOW TO INSTALL THE CAMERA
Install Vehicle Backup Camera in the
top of the vehicle’s rear license plate
to achieve maximum viewing angle.
1) Remove license plate from rear of vehicle.
2) Locate reverse tail lights and select a wiring route the camera will use for its
power source
3) Inspect and determine route of camera wiring to reverse lights.
4) Insert camera wire through grommet (supplied). The grommet protects the wire
from the metal edge.
5) Check for openings or holes where license plate is mounted to insert camera
wire. If no opening is available, drill a small hole and insert wires. Select a
location close to the camera’s power cables.
Note:
The Vehicle Backup Camera can be installed without drilling a hole by
using a pre-existing hole on the vehicle to route the wires to the reverse
taillights.
CAUTION:
Take extra precaution necessary to avoid vehicle damage.
Before drilling, inspect behind the drilling location to ensure there are no
vehicle wirings or components.
6) Insert camera wire into selected/drilled opening
7) Plug the camera wire to the signal booster. Ensure wire is not obstructed or
tangled.
8) Remove light socket from its reverse light housing.
CAUTION:
It is highly recommended that you remove the bulbs as a
precaution.
9) Connect camera power wires
CAUTION:
Before connecting camera wires, use a Volt Meter or a
Multi-Meter to determine positive and the negative wires on the vehicle’s
reverse light wires. Vehicle wiring may vary. Refer to the vehicle Owner’s
Manual for more information.
a. Determine positive and negative wires. Most vehicles will have two color
wires, BLACK for negative and RED for positive.
b. Disconnect vehicle battery before proceeding to the next step as a
precaution
c. Using the Scotch-Lok Connectors, connect camera’s RED wire to reverse
light’s positive wire. If needed, use pliers to squeeze Scotch-Lok and
ensure a good connection.
d. Connect camera’s BLACK wire to reverse light’s negative wire. Secure and
link wires using the Scotch-Lok Connectors.
e. Secure wires with cable ties or electrical tape.
10) Plug camera power
wires to the signal booster
Note:
Place and secure the
signal booster where you
can get the best signal.
CHECKPOINT:
At this point, you can check if you properly connected the wires by:
• Reconnecting the battery.
• Turn the ignition to the “Accessories” position.
• Engage the Emergency or Hand Brake.
• Put the vehicle in reverse.
If the camera and the monitor wirings are hooked up correctly, the monitor
should turn on and should display image of rear view of the vehicle.
**Disconnect vehicle battery before proceeding with installation**
11) Connect bulb back into light socket.
12) Reinstall light socket into reverse light housing.
13) Slide license plate between camera and mounting
14) Align camera mount to license plate.

Press license plate and camera mounting firmly to secure and get full
contact between the license plate and the double-sided tape.
16) Screw license plate with camera onto rear of the vehicle.
17) Once camera is secured, adjust camera angle to desired point of view.
Note:
- The preset camera angle may not be enough for all types of vehicle, adjust
accordingly.
- The camera angle should be chosen carefully to best suit your specific
vehicle because it will impact the size and location of the blind spot of the
rear view camera.
- If the camera hinges gets loose, tighten by adjusting the screws at the back
of the camera through the mounting.
Caution:
Double check the camera angle from time to time to make sure that
it is always focused and adjusted to the desired point of view.
SAFE OPERATING TIPS
• If you replace the tires, the area displayed on the monitor may change and you
may need to adjust the camera.
• There is a plastic cover over the camera. Do not scratch the cover when
cleaning dirt or snow from the cover.
• The camera has a water resistant construction. Do not detach, disassemble or
modify it. This may cause incorrect operation. Camera is water resistant but
not waterproof.
• Do not submerged camera in water, which can cause internal damage to the
camera.
• If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured on the
vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally. Camera can
withstand the effects of rain, snow, and inclement weather.
• When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not clearly
display objects.
• When strong light directly enters a camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
• The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
• The colors of objects on the rear view monitor may differ somewhat from those
of the actual object.
• If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera, the monitor may not clearly display
objects. If water droplets, snow or mud adhere to the camera lens, rinse with
water and wipe with a dry cloth.
• Do not use alcohol, benzene or thinner to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera, wipe with a clean a cloth dampened with
mild cleaner diluted with water and then wipe with a dry cloth.
• Will work up to 30 feet. Working distance varies depending on the interference
between the monitor and the camera.
• The system is only designed for backup/reserving purposes. WINPLUS is not
responsible for damages on the system or the vehicle if used for other
purposes.
• ALWAYS engage Parking/Emergency/Hand Brakes of the vehicle when testing
the system.
• Like most wireless device devices, the system may cause interference to other
wireless devices or vice versa. Wireless devices such as WIFI routers,
Bluetooth devices, and mobile handsets may cause interference with the
monitor. If this happens you will notice rolling lines, blurry images, or static
images on the monitor.
• The system is designed to ADD safety and protection. The device was NOT
designed to replace other safe driving habits. Double checking and looking
around before backing up is STILL the safest way.
