Following are a few examples of camera mounts and positions.
Camera Model: ST-1252 Ensure cameras are aimed properly by adjusting screws or post wheel. The Screws adjust the camera tilt and the wheel adjusts camera position. In the example to the right the camera is mounted with the supplied 3M Trim tape. This Camera is placed in the upper corner of the windshield on the passenger side for a driver view. This is a very versatile camera because it can be mounted to achieve specific angles as well as be mounted in or on the exterior. Camera Model: ST-1231 Ensure cameras are properly aimed by adjusting the 4 screws on both sides of the camera shown at the right. This camera example, as you can see, has also been mounted with 3M trim tape. The bracket attached to this camera is steel and will allow for screw mounting a a bit easier.

You may need to adjust the screws with the Phillips driver, Not Included. This will allow you to adjust the mounting stand angle. This will also loosen the bracket holding the camera so you can rotate it if needed. Be sure to line up the groove etched into the back of the camera to ensure a straight and proper position. Example to the right shows a popular mounting position on a vehicle s windshield (interior). This would require rotating the camera inside the bracket by loosening the bracket screw.
