Where to mount Wolfbox rear camera with canopy?

I recently bought a

$250 Wolfbox G900 Rear View Mirror Camera, Mirror Dash Cam 4K Front and 2.5K Rear, Smart Full 12’’ Touch Screen, Backup Camera for Car, GPS, WDR, Night Vision, Included 64GB Card

Wolfbox G900 and I am trying to figure out where I should mount the rear facing camera.

I've been thinking inside the canopy on the window, but I'm not sure how the wiring will hang in there. Looking outside, I see some people mount it just above the licence plate below the tailgate, but that seems like it is too low to get a good picture of what is behind you. I've also heard about custom lenses for canopies, but I haven't seen one for my Snugtop.

I've also seen the factory camera replaced, but I want to keep that one where it is so I can see the bumper when backing up.

Any suggestions? Pictures are better!

Thanks,

Scott

 

som pictures on your end would help as well, i wasn't aware of an oem tacoma that has a canopy!

 

I can post one tomorrow, but it's just a Snugtop canopy. Nothing out of the ordinary.

 

Where did you end up mounting it?

 

I mounted it inside the canopy. The tint does affect it a little, but not too much. If it's drizzling out, the image stinks. I tried Rain X, but I find it hasn't made much of a difference. Lots of noise at night in rural areas, but great image if there's ambient light from street lights or other cars. I can't really use the driver's side sun visor either because of the design of the mirror/monitor, but that's what sun glasses are for!

Overall I'm happy with it and where is mounted.

 

If you have insulation on the roof of the cap, Velcro hook-end strips does a good job holding a cable onto the ceiling. Also stick the rear camera on the upper part of the rear window near the hinges- use 3M extreme tape because it holds up well to heat and your tinted rear glass door gets really hot from the sun.
