the ambient temperature must be from 21° to 38°C (from 70° to

TIP: You can connect the device to power and hold the device in
the preferred mounting location to check the camera's field of
view at that location.

cloth.
The windshield must be free of dust, wax, oils, or coatings.

adhesive to the windshield until the mount is properly
