Backup camera location, anybody mount high up underneath the spoiler?

[Wolfbraid]

Well there are plenty of Flush mount style cameras available,
I'm definitely adding a backup cam, and I regularly drive a work vehicle with a high mount(I like the perspective better than low)
I'm also considering lane change/mirror cameras, just not sure how to integrate them, might be awkward to look at the center console instead(including) the mirrors

Crickets.

I just got home from vacation so I’ll probably play around with it this week. Camera showed up yesterday and is smaller than I expected.

I'd think smaller is better, for that setup. Much more options for placement.

I just didn’t really have a reference for size when I bought it, opened it up and was happy it was the size it is. Not 100% sure if it’s the camera I’ll end up with. I may buy something a bit more hidden if it’s going on the spoiler

Did some testing on locations.

I kinda like it up high... especially with that bike rack.

The view is a bit skewed up top but I think after a while the rack would annoy me. You can still “see” with it in stock location but would get old quick.

Just curious, would it be possible to install 2 backup cams where you could switch between the 2? One if you tow and another when you're not. Just a thought.

I don’t see why not if your head unit allows multiple cameras. Or could get crazy and get a backup camera mirror in addition to the head unit.
