It came equipped with a suction mounting bracket which the camera can be removed easily.

The camera comes with a "heavy duty" suction cup mount to mount it to the windshield. The mount is nice and stiff so the recording has no shaking to it.

Check this URL. Most states outlaw or restrict windshield mounted devices. http://blog.proclipusa.com/are-suction-cup-windshield-mounts-legal-in-your-state/

If you mount it on the windshield, your camera will record upside down. If you can flip the video over in your computer then it will look OK. If you place the dash mountadapter on the dash then the device will be in a position to mount the camera upright.

On the camera there are 2 wires, 1 positive and 1 negitive. Run a single wire from camera to the Radio plus find a backup light wire in the trunk and connect the positive wire of the camera there. It works like a dream, A good camera is key to a good operation.

It comes with double sided tape, but I don't think that will be a good long term solution I used that to test the location I wanted to go with. I have it mounted above the license plate on a truck bumper I used screws on some plastic trim that was above the license plate holder on the bumper. You could get a license plate frame and mount the camera to that to avoid any vehicle modification. You will have to run the wiring back into the interior of the vehicle but I was able to find and use and existing wiring pas through.

I have installed the camera on my wiper motor hatch cover. It is recessed and flush with the rear window. The entire installation takes tookless than 1/2 hour. My father installed the same camera behind a logo plate on his rear deck. since the round logo emblem is in he center of the trunk lid he drilled a 3/8" hole and mounted two STAINLess screws in the emblem and sealed it witrh epoxy. he gets a full 270 degree viw without exposin]g the camera to theft. You can mount it top of the license frame and still get225 degrees visability. The less it is exposed,\the less risk of breaking it off the vehicle I have installed the camera on my wiper motor hatch cover. It is recessed and flush with the rear window.

The camera has a short wire to a transmitter and the monitor is connected to a receiver. Thus, there is no wires to run the length of the car, which would have to be routed and hidden.

Moving the camera is very simple with the suction cup mount. I like to position the camera to the far left of the windscreen at eye level. This is the least visually obstructive location for me. The cord is long enough to route over the visors and then down to an electrical outlet.

1) It doesn't attach to the dash. It plugs into the cigarette lighter. It is on an approx 12 inch stiff cable. you can twist and bend the cable to see the monitor and the stiffness of the cable holds that position.2) I don't know the exact viewing angle of the camera, but with the trailer attached and the camera on the handle of my pickup tailgate, I can see the bumper and ball/trailer hitch at the bottom, the trailer at the top and the just see the side of the trailer side to side. Very adequate field of view.

The camera comes in 3 parts, the nut, the bezel and the camera. The way to mount it is to drill a hole the size of the bezel, put the nut on one end of the wall, screw the bezel into the nut, then insert the camera.

The rear camera is wired to the front with a very long, fairly small diameter coax cable. I found it simple to route to the rear by following the edge of the roof liner and tucking it around the pillars. The hardest part was finding a place for the excess cable to hide.

More information is needed. What kind of camera are you using, how fast are you going, what kind of surface are you driving on, how are you configuring the mount?

The Camera comes with a mount that can be screwed to a wall or a solid ceiling (no drop ceilings). It attaches to the mount via a screw-mount like those on a camera (tripod mount). The mount is kind of cheap, but I guess its not designed to be moved very often.

I bought a wired camera that attaches over the licence plate. Had a car audio shop install both GPS and camera as they know tricks to run wires.

I mount it in front of the mirror, the power cord does hang down while in use but my view is not blocked. Camera releases easy from mount when I leave car, so I don't have to take mount off the window.

It has a standard camera tripod mounting hole. You can use the 3M stick mount this cam comes with in your primary vehicle, and possibly use a beanbag GPS base with a suction cup mount that has a camera mounting post for portability. It uses a mini-USB port for power, so I imagine any 12V to mini-USB adapters can be used with your portable setup if you keep the original power cord in your primary vehicle.
