Can You Mount a Dash Cam on the Windshield?

Although Ohio legislation only allows to place the objects in the lower corners of the windshield, for dash cams and other electronic devices there is an exception. Dash cams can be mounted anywhere on the windshield, provided they do not obstruct driver"s view and do not conceal the VIN (vehicle identification number).

However, for commercial vehicles placing of electronic devices is limited to the location generally not suitable for dash cams: they are to be mounted not more than six inches below the upper edge of the windshield and is outside the area swept by the vehicle"s windshield wipers.
