The rear camera of a dash cam is generally installed on the top left or top right corner of the license plate, and some are installed directly above the license plate. In practice, the installation position may vary slightly depending on the brand and the camera angle. The function of a dash cam is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of drivers and avoid being blackmailed or extorted; to enable traffic police to handle traffic accidents accurately and quickly; to reduce driver violations and lower the probability of traffic accidents; and to assist courts in making accurate judgments when handling traffic accident cases. Dual cameras cover the front and rear views of the vehicle, providing comprehensive protection for the owner and driving safety. Installation method for the rear camera of a dash cam: Plug in the rear camera's connector and the power supply on the cigarette lighter, and check whether the front and rear cameras can work properly. After confirming, start routing the wires; Tuck the wires into the plastic panel above, connect to the fuse box, and use a test pen to test before connecting; Use a scraper to guide the rear camera's wire to the rear windshield and secure it properly; Remove the panel above the rear windshield, pull the wire through the hole, install the camera on the removed panel, and then reinstall the panel; After installing the camera, check its working status. Insert the connector into the display screen to see the rear display recording. If it is not suitable, you can adjust the camera.
