Back up camera best location and wiring advice?

[Neil Sears]

The new stereo I just ordered has an input for a back up camera.

What is the best location to install?

Also any advice on camera installs in general?

It also has an input for a front camera but I’m thinking I may use that for a blind spot camera instead.

Thanks in advance for any input.

I ended up ordering the spare tire camera mount* and the round behind the spare third brake light*.

I also ordered the license plate relocator* but I’m not married to the idea that I’ll fully install that.

I also ordered a few redundant cameras, even a solar powered one, mainly just for testing.

I enjoy the process so don’t mind a bit of trial and error.
