Is it recommended to install a backup camera inside factory tinted glass? Of course DashCam sits behind the un-tinted glass. Any one tried it? ---

Why would you do that? The camera will be up too high to show any meaningful picture of what is behind the car. Cameras are usually mounted on the rear plate or trunk to give you a picture of what is behind your car from the bumper back. ---
