It must not obstruct the driver's view and should comply with the road rules in the relevant state or territory. A high position near the mirror is common, subject to vehicle sensor restrictions.

Adhesive mounts are typically smaller and more stable. Suction mounts suit drivers who move the camera, but need regular checks for secure attachment.

Contaminated glass, unsuitable adhesive, heat and a mismatched pad are common causes. Remove old residue and follow the mount maker's preparation and curing instructions.

Only if the camera supports that orientation, has an unobstructed view and remains securely mounted without blocking controls or vision. Windscreen placement is more common.
