It sounds so simple --

--- just stick it on the windscreen and plug it in!
If only.
Firstly, the best place for it is behind the rear view mirror, but it won't stick there because the sucker can't grip on the painted pattern. The next best place won't give a full view because the ball and socket doesn't have enough movement to tilt the camera.
The software allows the camera to work upside down, but again, the ball and socket won't.
I've abandoned it for today, temper is heated, hands are frozen.
