I just mounted a camera to the right of rear door grab handle.

Things to consider, does it need an earth? Rear doors don’t provide the best earth point. The size of the connectors and will they go through the door wiring trunking.

I'm tempted to get something like this

If you have tinted/wrapped the rear windows, it makes the useless rear-view mirror useful again!

Check my build thread, I used the old wiper supply from the now removed motor. Fitted a camera to the handle area and it works great.
