Regarding the Hummer H2, the distance between plate mount and hitch is about twice as far as normal truck. will the view be normal for camera?

You aim the camera yourself. It appears to have plenty of adjustment. It should be fine. Friend put one on 1 ton western hauler type bed with no problems.

My truck is a 2500, 4x 4, HD so it sits quite high. I think that with experimentation you will get a great picture. Just make sure you can see a bit of the tow ball when backing

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.

Hello Patty, The carrier should not cover your license plate. If the carrier is folded up vertical it may cover your licence plate, that is, depending on where your licence plate is on your vehicle. The carrier platform is 47 inches long by 28 inches wide with a 42 inch ramp. The hitch does not have to be wired, as it only has reflectors. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Warm regards, Heather

I have mine on a center mount and when down the end of the trolley and about 1/3 of the tag mounting plate stick out from the vehicle. They are black so minimally distracting. Don't know about the manual version.

There was a camera that my stereo shop installed originally that mounted near my tow hitch that would work with no tailgate. However, it was so low that it was useless for visibility much more than 4 feet behind the truck.

The cameras are magnetic. I put one on truck looking back at hitch and length of trailer. I put the other one on the back or side of trailer. You can't look at both images at the same time as they are two separate signals. You hit a switch on the screen to switch between the two cameras. I will tell you, I have a 30' trailer and the signal from the back camera is pretty weak sometimes in the truck.

Yes. I have two of these cameras. One mounted on the license plate bracket of my truck. I can see well behind me, wide and high. Other is mounted rooftop high on my towable RV and I get a very good view of anything behind me. Night time view is not very good on highways as headlights, street lights, etc blind the whole camera. However, if in a place with no bright lights shinning the night view is exceptional. Hope this helps.

The view is limited not sure of the angle... Use this camera to back up to trailer hitch and for this it works fine. I do not use the camera for pedestrians walking in back of my vehicle.

It's 2.5 in DIAGONAL screen. It's a little hard to see in brilliant sunshine, but better than nothing! Take off your polarized sunglasses for best view. Really makes hitching up by yourself easy, especially because you can switch views so you're not backwards. I've never had interference issues.

The ground clearance is not significantly affected, however the effective length of the vehicle is extended. You could test that by placing a yardstick directly behind your trailer hitch.

You could see the all of the front of the trailer, but I had it pointed down to see the hitch. I used it two times and it quit working. I don't recommend wasting your money on this.

My camera is mounted in the bumper....to left of rear license plate...(this is on a F150 Ford pickup)....I have had no problem with dirt/etc clouding up or causing a problem with it functioning.....remember I live in South Carolina.... you would probably need to wipe off or clean the lens/camera periodically if you live where there is a lot of snow/slush/ salt spray/etc as in the northeast, etc. Hope this helps.

I installed on f350 crew cab long bed and came up about 3' short and had to add some additional wire for the run. It's just standard video connections. I had some extra RCA cables I used with a double female adapter to extend the run. Just a warning that the camera that came with this is junk. I already had to replace it because it filled up with water/ condensation.

Hi Stephen I do agree with about the screen rotating far back Regarding the other issue I thank you might need to relocate the camera I had to do so cuz my truck is lifted by 3inch

You will be able to see not as much as if the camera was to be outside. NOW, the distance marks will not show the distance the way that it shows on a normal position right under the rear bumper. Yo will have to guess distance, for that matter just look out the window.

The image is very clear, however, you will not be able to read a license plate from more than 10-20 feet. The camera does not have a zoom. I own a total of 9 camera from Sharx and the quality is very good but I have the same issues for reading a license plate as you.

Installed this on my 2014 Honda Pilot with sensors and camera. No problems. So no it does not interfere with either system. Good reference point when you're back up. It sticks out about 6 inches. You can see the hitch step on your display when backing up so no worries you'll hit the other car or something.
