Dashcam Placement for a Clear and Unobstructed View

Usually high on the front windscreen near the rear-view mirror, where the lens can see through a cleaned and swept area without blocking the driver's view.

It can be a discreet position if the camera remains accessible and neither the mount nor cable obstructs vision. Confirm the lens is not hidden by tint, sensors or the mirror housing.

Some mounts permit it, but glare, bonnet obstruction and airbag zones can make the dashboard less suitable. Follow the camera and vehicle manufacturers' instructions.

Place it high and central where practical, looking through a clear part of the rear glass. Test the tailgate, wiper view and demister-line interference before fixing it.

Yes. Tint bands, reflections, dirty glass, steep angles and areas outside the wiper sweep can hide detail even when the camera resolution is high.
