Camera and Sensor Positions with Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera & Hitch Aligner System HM50002

Question:

I installed the HM5002 on my 2002 Dodge Dakota. Instructions and video were great and I had no problem with the installation. Camera works perfectly. My issue is that my hitch does not line up exactly between the lines on the camera. Is there any adjustments I can make to correct this? Thanks.

Thank you for purchasing the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System, part # HM50002.

This wired camera system's monitor does not have a scrolling feature to let you shift the grid lines but you can make vertical adjustments to the camera itself (and also to the two backup sensors on either side of it) to get the best degree of visual alignment and object detection as you back up. The linked image from the owner's manual shows the adjustment guidelines for the sensors.

Camera placement on the vehicle will determine the left-to-right image position on the monitor.
