I have my main camera replacing the rear view mirror.
The rear camera is mounted top canter of the rear window.
Since I don't have ACC, I mounted the front camera right to the empty ACC box.
Not fancy or innovative, but works well for my use case.

looking to place one in the front Ford HD bumper in the light pocket corner to have clear visibility forward @ tire (driver or passenger??). I wheel solo

@5GENIDN … need to comment on the thread and show your belly cam.

Wolfbox, hopefully will be able to purchase extra cameras to install and switch which one(s) are plugged in /needed at a given time.

I just want to throw it out there, the connectors between the camera and the wire harness really need to be made waterproof - I've unfortunately had a lot of connectivity issues with my rear camera either disconnecting or going into "reverse mode" while driving especially when it rains, despite loading dielectric grease into the connector and wrapping it with electrical tape and even trying heat shrink. Thinking about snipping off the connector and soldering in a replacement waterproof 5-pin connector. Just something to be mindful of when mounting your camera - make sure the connectors are waterproofed as best as you can. The included connector are this style:

I'm probably (just for the rear cam) going to solder in this style:
