Questions before you buy
Where is the best place to put a dash cam?
Use a high, central position that provides a clear swept view of the road without blocking the driver's sightline. Your vehicle manual and provincial rules take priority.
Can a dash cam go behind the rear-view mirror?
It can on some vehicles if the lens remains unobstructed and the device does not conflict with mirror electronics or sensors. Check the view from the driver's seat.
Should a dash cam be on the driver or passenger side?
A slight passenger-side offset may reduce visual intrusion, but framing and legal visibility requirements matter more than the side chosen.
Does the windshield wiper area matter?
Yes. A lens outside the wiped area may lose detail in rain or snow, so preview the camera view with the wipers operating safely while parked.
