I installed the camera on my license plate...but how do I go about adjusting the camera angle..I thought it is suppose to swivel up and down?

It's manual you have to set it where you want it to be, mine is on my dodge ram 1500 and where mine is facing i love it. I never seen one with a motor to move it up/down if they do make one i doubt it will be $49.00 just my two cents

There is two screws you loosen up and adjust the camera and re tighten when done.

There are small allen head set-screws on either side of the camera piece which lock the angle. You have to loosen then to move it and then tighten to lock it back.

there are two small allen screws on the top of the frame on each side of the camera. loosen them slightly and adjust the angle- then retighten

There should be a little hex key included in the box. There are two little holes on the top of the license plate camera section. Use the key to loosen the camera part and move it up or down. If no key in box, you should be able to find one at the any auto parts store.

A small allen wrench was included in the box. On one of the upper corners of the actual camera housing there is a small hole. Insert the allen wrench into the hole and loosen it. Adjust it to the angle you want and then tighten it.

The rear camera should show up automatically as a mini pip in the upper right corner of the screen. You can use the remote up and down buttons to switch the positions on the screen. If everything fails, you probably got a dud as I did. Returned it, got another from another on-line company and it works great!

There are two 1.5mm (metric) allen set screws which you can loosen to adjust the camera angle.Note that the claimed 170 degree viewing angle is vastly exaggerated. I estimate it to be about half that, in the horizontal direction. Vertical is less, of course, because of aspect ratio.

Yes, the viewing angle is awesome. I mounted the unit replacing a door bell unit, replacing the door bell in the exact location with the Camera, it work perfect, and angle of view is great.......

Hi, I did not use a license plate mount for my camera. I have a Hummer wagon and mounted mine above the rear window. Though I know a friend that did use the license plate mount and he's very happy with the installation. Plus we both did our own installations. they weren't that hard to complete.I hope this helps.

If it's at a different angle (up high or down low) you can adjust it. If it's to the right or the left, the picture will be slightly distorted

Use the bracket that came with the camera. Mount camera and bracket upside down. Go to the LIVE VIDEO settings and check both the FLIP and MIRROR boxes. The image will display as though the camera is right side up.

Sorry you are having issues... unlock the knob on the side, and push in the button on the other side when you slide it out. It actually should slide out either way. Many of these plates come with extra screws for your camera and generally they store them under the plate, usually screwed in. It's possible that maybe one of them loosened and is preventing your plate form coming out. Try turning over the whole thing and maybe that will create a gap to get your plate out. I have 4 of these, and at work we have another 6. I haven't had any issues, so hopefully this isn't a common problem. Hope that helps, good luck!

I believe that it can be adjusted. I love the camera but don't mess with a lot of the functions...I wish I knew a lot more about cameras.

Sorry man I have not used it yet. On my others camera it is a setting I can change. I'll look at the camera when I get home and see if I can help out. I have been out of town. I'll get back this weekend

I have no problem doing this. It's not going to angle straight down, but maybe 45° or so is doable. Tip: If the top part ever gets a little loose, just look at it closely, you can tighten it up pretty easily and make it rock solid. At first I thought this tripod was junk until I realized you can tighten the top part.

The camera is easily tilted. I have not had any problems adjusting to the right angle for viewing.

I am not sure which way of the image is looked as mirrored. Mine looks straight to me. I mounted mine upside down, which means cable is on the top and camera is on the bottom. To be more specific, I see driver side of my car on the left-hand side of the screen. Hopefully, this will help you out.

OK, I hooked the camera up and it is not in "reverse mode", it is not like you are looking in the rear view mirror, how do you swith it to be like you are looking in the rearview mirror?

You should use a hex key. I was able to tighten it by hand but it would be more secure with the key. Alternatively, You can just use the normal screw that comes with the camera. Not sure why they felt the need to change it up here because I found that the screw works just fine.

Mitch, the camera is as shown in the image. you can see 2 of the 3 holes in the base plate where you can mount it to anything you want. It works better if you mount it on a wall, as putting on top of something limits the 'up/down' movement of the image and will only get the left to right adjustment for the most part. hope that helps.

any image editing tool should allow you to rotate your picture. Hopefully it is exactly 180 degrees off. ;-) Alternatively, you can adjust the Konus on your tripod so that your camera is right side up.
