Troubleshooting
The camera takes a long time to connect or
does not connect
Your camera may have a weak wireless connection to your
navigation device if it takes a long time to display video on the
navigation device, if the video frequently pauses or buffers, or if
the camera does not display video at all on your navigation
device. Interference with the connection can be caused by other
wireless signals, vehicle wiring, or structural elements of your
vehicle.
You can try these options to help improve the stability of the
wireless connection between your camera and your navigation
device.
Move the navigation device to a different location on your
dash or windshield.
Remove the camera from the mount, flip it upside down, and
place it back into the mount.
When mounted with the Garmin logo upside-down, the
camera automatically flips the video the next time it connects
to your navigation device to provide a correctly oriented
image. Flipping the camera upside down changes the
position of the wireless antenna and can improve the
connection quality in some cases.
Mount the camera at a different location on your license
plate.
For example, if your camera is mounted at the top of your
license plate, you can try moving it to the bottom of the
license plate, or vice-versa.
Try one or more of these options to reduce sources of WiFi
interference:
Set the wireless router in your home to use a channel
other than channel 11.
The camera communicates with your navigation device
using a 2.4 GHz WiFi signal on channel 11. Reducing the
number of nearby devices using the same channel can
improve the wireless connection.
Turn off the WiFi radio on other devices in your car, such
as your smartphone or mobile WiFi hotspot.
The camera does not work well in cold
weather
If you experience problems with the wireless camera connection
or video stability in cold weather, you should verify you are using
lithium AA batteries in the device. Alkaline and NiMH batteries
lose power quickly at low temperatures, and even brand-new
Alkaline or NiMH batteries may not function at all in extremely
cold environments. Lithium AA batteries provide longer battery
life and more consistent power, especially in cold environments.

Camper Mount Installation Considerations
NOTICE
Garmin strongly recommends having an experienced installer
with the proper knowledge of camper installations and
waterproofing install the mount. Incorrectly installing the mount
can result in damage to the vehicle or the camera.
Failure to heed the installation considerations could result in
damage to the camera or the vehicle. Garmin is not responsible
for any damage caused to the camera or vehicle during
installation or as a result of the camera mount detaching from
the vehicle.
You can use the optional camper mount accessory to install the
camera on your camper in an area other than the license plate.
When selecting a mounting location and installing the camper
mount, observe these considerations.
You must choose a suitable mounting location for the camera
before drilling holes in the vehicle. You should verify the
camera view from the mounting location provides the desired
visibility. You must also verify the mounting surface allows
the mount to be securely connected and the mounting screws
will not interfere with interior wiring or camper features.
You must use proper mounting screws for your vehicle's
external mounting surface. The included mounting screws
are intended for installation only on campers with a fiberglass
exterior, and they should not be used for campers with an
aluminum exterior, or any other material. Before installing the
screws, you must verify the screws are the correct length and
will not damage any interior components.
You must fully seal the screws, holes, and mount with
outdoor waterproofing sealant to prevent water from entering
the vehicle or the vehicle shell.
Installing the Camper Mount on Your Vehicle
NOTICE
Garmin strongly recommends having an experienced installer
with the proper knowledge of camper installations and
waterproofing install the mount. Incorrectly installing the mount
can result in damage to the vehicle or the camera.
Failure to heed the installation considerations could result in
damage to the camera or the vehicle. Garmin is not responsible
for any damage caused to the camera or vehicle during
installation or as a result of the camera mount detaching from
the vehicle.
To install the mount, you need a drill with a 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) drill
bit, a pencil, a Philips screwdriver, outdoor waterproofing
sealant, and two M4 screws (included for some vehicles).
1
Place the mount base against the mounting surface in the
location where you want to mount the camera, and mark the
location of the two mounting holes using a pencil or other
writing instrument.
You should ensure the mount is level and correctly
positioned.
