Barn door camera location

[Parabola]

Hi,

I’ve bought a reverse camera from Vagtec and the printed guide is impossible to follow!

Any idea where I should be mounting the camera? I’m not sure if it should be positioned centrally or to the far right of the door. I want to make sure that the parking guide lines are positioned correctly.

Any other tips and tricks appreciated!

To the far right m8. That's why there's another taken out of the camera so it can sit flush.

Ah that's perfect, thanks so much. It has taken away the guess work!

That’s the one. I’ve not fitted it yet but hopefully won’t be too much trouble based on what I’ve picked up from other threads. I’ll just need to find somewhere that can code it once wired up.

I’ve also bought a Wolfbox G900 to use as a live rear camera given that I have a panel van. I might install this camera on the rear spoiler to give a wider field of vision. On reflection, I probably could have gotten away with the G900 on its own!
