Regular method and installation location provided by the camera design.
—
Universal. This method of installation can be called "outdoor" — the camera is placed on a stand screwed to a particular surface, and the body is completely outside. This option is generally universal and can be used regardless of the brand of car, although there are standard cameras (see below) with such an installation.
—
Mortise. Cameras installed in specially made sockets for them. Usually they have a round shape, and for installation it is enough to drill a hole of the appropriate diameter in the body of the car. Also, usually, they are universal.
—
Screw. Cameras designed for screw mounting (hence the name). They are quite simple and easy to install — it is enough to make a hole for a screw in the case, and the required hole diameter is noticeably smaller than for mortise models. Most often they are universal.
—
License plate frame. Devices that are license plate frames with built-in reversing cameras. They are convenient in that they do not require special installation work — the structure is simply placed instead of the standard frame, on the same mounts. At the same time, note that frames for numbers can have a different format and, accordingly, the size and configuration of fasteners; this point must be clarified
...before buying.
— In the license plate cover. Cameras mounted in the license plate light. Often they have in their design not only a camera, but also a lamp for illuminating the numbers. License plate shades on different cars have a different design, respectively, models of this type are made mostly standard (see below).
— In the boot handle. Models that are a boot handle with a camera installed in it and mounted instead of a complete handle. They are made only regular (see below).
— The emblem. Models of this type can represent both separate cameras built into the "shield" and emblems supplemented with cameras and installed instead of the factory emblem. By definition, they are only regular (see below).
— In the grille. In the vast majority of cars, the engine, and, accordingly, the radiator is located in front; accordingly, this option is typical for front-view cameras (see "Type of view"). Most of these models are standard (see below).
— At the stoplight. Optics is made in the form of a brake light. Usually, such cameras are made for a specific make and model of a car. The device itself is installed in place of one of the regular brake lights (right, left or centre). At the same time, during the installation process, it is not necessary to make holes in the body elements or turn off the license plate light. The camera in the brake light housing does not violate the integrity of the design of the stern, concisely blending into the image of the exterior.
