Since most vehicles are equipped with a passenger side airbag, obtain a copy of the airbag
deployment zone from the manufacturer. Glue the mounting tab in a location that places the
camera in a safe zone. Possible locations to consider (subject to the airbag deployment
information) include:
to the left (driver’s side) of the rear-view mirror
at the far-left side of the windshield
Acceptable video performance can be achieved with the camera aimed through the solar/UV
tint at the top of many windshields. If the performance of the camera in this position is
unacceptable, on some vehicles it may be possible to scrape a small area of this tint away with
a razor blade.
Another issue that may affect the location is the possible presence of supervisor light
assemblies. These light assemblies are typically installed inside the vehicle along the top
edge of the windshield.

1. Locate the mounting tab for the camera mount. Inspect the mounting tab. It must be
properly oriented to hold the mount.
Note: The mounting tab is painted black on all surfaces, except for the surface that will
face the windshield.
IMPORTANT
The technician should mark the desired mounting position on
the OUTSIDE of the windshield to assist in positioning the
mounting tab.
