2.  For an optimum view, install the camera behind the path of the windscreen wiper. 
3.  The camera facing inside should always be higher than the dashboard to provide the best view of 

the driver and co-driver. Ensure that the camera view facing outside is not blocked by a grid. 

4.  The cable should be routed along a safe path away from high voltage ignition lines sources of 

mechanical damage etc. Cables should be safely secured.
