where does the camera mount on a pickup truck?

We mounted it on the top of the camper shell because we pull a trailer behind. It can be mounted on the bumper or on the top of the cab. Mountable most anywhere and it is heavy duty so it can take vibrations. Hope this helps. We love ours.

You can mount it anywhere you want, You will need a path to run the wiring from the monitor to the camera. Power needs to be provided under the dash or under the hood. The power is provided to camera through the cabling coming from the monitor.

Without a cap the best viewing angle would be from the top rear of the cab. The challenge is getting the camera cable concealed and weather tight. I mounted mine on the rear of a class C RV and cable ran under counter tops, behind cabinets and through other concealed spaces. In a pickup you will need to be able to remove and replace interior trim and perhaps the headliner unless you are happy with a black cable being visible. Good luck.

I mounted mine to the license plate on my SUV. I put a piece of metal behind the plate and drilled holes through it where the license plate mounts. They I drilled a hole through the center with the license plate bolted to the metal to hold in place temporarily. I then mounted the camera through the center hole I drilled and took off the bolts holding the metal to the license plate and then mounted them where they normally go. It worked great. The only problem I had was picking up road spray sometimes. It was a good place for me to watch my hitch connection for hooking up.

On my install I had a cap installed on the bed of the truck and I mounted it high on the cap pointing down at the bumper. However, without a bed cap the camera could be mounted on the tailgate itself.

1) It doesn't attach to the dash. It plugs into the cigarette lighter. It is on an approx 12 inch stiff cable. you can twist and bend the cable to see the monitor and the stiffness of the cable holds that position. 2) I don't know the exact viewing angle of the camera, but with the trailer attached and the camera on the handle of my pickup tailgate, I can see the bumper and ball/trailer hitch at the bottom, the trailer at the top and the just see the side of the trailer side to side. Very adequate field of view.

Basically the Bullet camera has a Built-in Wall Mount Bracket. The bracket is on the base of the camera and it is mounted with 3 screws. Thanks

I've got the opposite problem. I placed mine in the rear, but the image is NOT reversed. Wish I could trade cameras. I didn't notice this until it was installed in my rear bumper.

If you are needing a quick disconnect in between the tow vehicle and trailer you will need to purchase one separately. I used my system on my feed truck and mounted the camera on strong magnets so I can move camera as time of year changes and I take the large cube feeder off the truck. I also purchased a pyle gooseneck to mount the screen on, MUCH better than what the system comes with.

I mounted mine inside the windshield using the suction cup that came with the camera. In very hot days, it falls, but generally it stays there.

It should be located by the front truck above the logo. It's weird that one of the photos doesn't have it, but the other does...My board came with one, although I never use it and don't see it as a practical addition to the board.

The mount that comes with the camera is a suction cup type that is intended to be mounted to a windshield. The only way to mount it to a dash is if you can get the suction cup to stick to the dash.

No---there is a wire that goes from your dash where the screen is to the camera mounted in the back of the vehicle. I mounted my camera in the back of my pickup to help me hook up my goose neck horse trailer.

I'm afraid I don't have the answer. I bought this for my grandson whose truck did not have a back up camera. For what it's worth, he loved the tailgate light. I suggest asking the manufacturer. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

This type of camera must be installed on the rear bumper... see instructions in youtube...

The camera can be moved but you have to un wire and then re wire wherever you want it placed. Why would you want the camera on the 5th wheel. just leave it attached to truck.

I mounted a second camera to the rear of my camper trailer. I should have done it a long time ago! The ability to see what is behind you and when you have clearance to move over a lane is invaluable. I had to find a RCA cable long enough to reach from the trailer to the truck (36'). Radio Shack had them.

i received one (1) camera which i mounted in the rear bumper a little below and to the left of the license plate (this is on a f 150 ford pickup) and it provides a good clear picture/view !

Yes, it will work however if the camera is on one side of the truck that's the side your going to see when you start to use it

It works great if you locate the camera where it can see the ball on your car or truck. I located my camera under the bumber next to the removeable hitch.
