Where Does Camera of Rear View Safety Wireless Backup Camera System Usually Install
Question:
Other systems have a license plate mount, do you have suggested mounting hardware/location. I am using this on a ford f-150 pick

Expert Reply:
The camera of the RVS Backup Camera Kit part # RVS-091406 that you referenced was mostly intended to mount under the rear hatch release of a vehicle like what you seen in the picture I attached.
That said you can mount the camera in whatever orientation on your vehicle that works the best for what you need. On a 2004 Ford F-150 there isn't a great location for a camera like this so you'd be the happiest with the version that mounts using a license plate camera like part # RVS-778718N. This uses the rearview mirror of the vehicle as the monitor which gives a cleaner look and would be less tempting for thieves.
