Standard installation method and location provided for by the camera design.
-
Universal. This installation method can be conventionally called “external” - the camera is placed on a stand that is screwed to a particular surface, and the body is completely located outside. This option is generally universal and can be used regardless of the car brand, although there are standard cameras (see below) with this installation.
-
Mortise. Cameras installed in specially made sockets for them. They are usually round in shape, and for installation it is enough to drill a hole of the appropriate size in the car body. Also, as a rule, they are universal.
—
Screw. Cameras designed to be installed using a screw mount (hence the name). They are quite simple and easy to install - just make a hole for a screw in the body, and the required hole size is noticeably smaller than that of mortise models. Most often they are universal.
—
License plate frame. Devices that are frames for license plates with built-in rear view cameras. They are convenient because they do not require special installation work - the structure is simply installed instead of the standard frame, on the same fastenings. At the same time, it is worth considering that frames for numbers can have different formats and, accordingly, the size and c
...onfiguration of fasteners; This point must be clarified before purchasing.
— In the license plate light. Cameras mounted in the license plate light. They often include not only a camera, but also a lamp to illuminate the license plates. License plate lamps on different cars have different designs; accordingly, models of this type are made mostly standard (see below).
- In the trunk handle. Models that consist of a trunk handle with a camera installed in it and are mounted instead of the complete handle. They are made only by regular ones (see below).
- In the emblem. Models of this type can represent either separate cameras built into the “nameplate” or emblems supplemented with cameras and installed instead of the factory emblem. By definition, they are only regular (see below).
— In the radiator grille. In the vast majority of cars, the engine and, accordingly, the radiator are located at the front; Accordingly, this option is typical for forward-looking cameras (see “View type”). Most of these models are standard (see below).
- At the stop sign. The optics are made in the form of a brake light. As a rule, such cameras are made for a specific make and model of car. The device itself is installed in place of one of the standard brake light headlights (right, left or center). At the same time, during the installation process there is no need to make holes in the body elements or turn off the license plate light. The camera in the brake light body does not violate the integrity of the design of the stern, laconically blending into the image of the exterior.
