When identifying the appropriate location to mount the AI-12 dashcam, sit in the driver seat and operate the sun visors and rear-view mirrors and any other movable items mounted to the vehicle.
Ensure that you are not blocking the drivers view of the road and locate a position where the dashcam has a clear and unobstructed view of both the road ahead and the driver as per our guidance.

-
The dashcam doesn't obstruct the driver's field of vision.
