BC 30, BC 35 and BC 50 Series Viewing Angle and Field of View Tips

Where the BC 30, BC 35 and BC 50 series wireless backup cameras are mounted can affect the viewing angle or field of view. When selecting a location to mount the camera, observe these considerations:

• Installing the camera higher on the back of the vehicle provides a better viewing angle.
• The included bracket can be clipped onto a license plate or other similar surface, or it can be fastened to the back of the vehicle using the included self-tapping, panhead screws.
• You should test a mounting location before you permanently mount the camera.

To Test the Camera and Transmitter Location:

1. Temporarily secure the camera in the preferred mounting location.

2. Temporarily place the transmitter in the preferred installation location, and connect it to power and the camera.

• • If you do not want to splice into the wiring of your vehicle for this test, you can connect the transmitter and camera to a 12V DC battery.

3. Test the transmitter for correct operation by applying power to the GPS device using the receiver vehicle power cable. If you do not see video on the GPS device at the preferred installation location, move the transmitter to another location and test it again.

4. Repeat steps 2-3 until the transmitter operates correctly.

5. Test the camera view by observing the video on the device. 

• • The image displayed on the device from the camera will match what is seen when you look in your rear view mirror.  This is done to provide video that is intuitive to respond to.

6. If the camera does not provide the optimal view for your vehicle, move it to another location and test it again.

7. Repeat steps 5-6 until the camera mounting location provides the optimal view for your vehicle.

• • Make note of which direction is up when you are testing the camera view to ensure correct permanent installation.
    

When mounted correctly to achieve the best field of view, use of the BC 30, BC 35, and BC 50 can significantly enhance visibility for drivers and help to minimize the risk of blind zones.
