Find a local reversing camera installer in Northampton

You’ll need a professional reverse car camera installation for the unit to work effectively. Fortunately, thanks to technology advancement, you can get yours installed by a mobile mechanic without having to leave your home. Here’s what you can expect during your car camera installation:

Step 1: Install the camera in the best position

Most cameras are designed to attach to your number plate, but your installer will determine the correct placement for your type of vehicle to ensure maximum visibility. For larger cars or commercial vehicles, they may need to attach the camera in a higher position to give you the visibility you need. 

Step 2: Connect the power supply

Minor electrical work is completed to connect the camera to the power source, usually the wires powering your rear tail lights. Once the installation is completed, your camera will activate when you select reverse gear.

Step 3: Install the camera monitor for viewing

It’s important that your monitor is installed in a comfortable position for you to view images safely while reversing as well as ensure a clear view through the windscreen. Monitors can be mounted on the windscreen or dash, or you may choose to install an integrated option that combines your reversing monitor with your rear-view mirror. You may even want to consider adding dash cam installation at the same time.

Step 4: Test your camera while stationary

Your Airtasker installer will help you test your camera setup once the car camera installation service is complete. It’s best to do this while the car is stationary and parked at home to avoid any safety issues that may arise.
