The ideal place to mount the forward-facing camera is behind the rearview mirror because it hides the dash cam from the driver’s line of sight and avoids any obstruction while driving. Luckily, BlackVue’s signature slender cylindrical shape makes it easy to position the DR900X Plus behind the rearview mirror.
Don’t forget to check how far the wiper goes because if you mount the front-facing camera above the wiper's reach, it will not have a clear vision. You want to make sure you are mounting the dash cam in a spot so you can always get a clear windscreen in front of it.
Also important is to clean the windshield from the inside of the car to ensure the camera sticks properly and to clean off any marks or smears that might affect the video quality of your footage.
We recommend mounting the radar detector as high up in the vehicle as possible so that the detector has a good range of radar detection. The most common and standard location would be on the front windshield, near or around the center of the rearview mirror.
Once you’re happy with the mounting locations, plug in the radar detector power cable.
