Reversing camera?

I have just purchased a new entertainment system (does everything) for the 44 and it has an option for a reversing camera, which I think would be a good idea.
Now what I would like to is were to fit the camera? Now I don't want to cut holes in the panels so I am looking for ideas.
1) Bumper bar (not a preferred option just in case someone gives it a nudge)
2) Under bumper bar
3) Inside car next to the center brake light
4) Cut hole in left hand tail light bottom right corner

Anybody have any other suggestions or pics.

Thanx Barry

I don't know what size camera you are using but I have seen several on other cars mounted in or near the license plate frame?

...thinking out loud...

I like the tail light idea. Not too obtrusive. BTW, there is an unused hole in each of the rear light assemblies. You might be able to poke a camera into one of them and drill a hole in the lens for as the view-port.

...just an idea...

AJ the camera hasn't been sourced yet still looking. Been checking around ebay and nothing seems to stand out. I don't think I need IR camera as we have reversing lights and at 22mm they seem a bit large. Iam trying to not make it too obvious that it has a reversing camera so as not to attract people in the lower more ethical relaxed social class. As when I park it I would like it to all be there when I get back to it. Also I don't like the idea of cutting holes in the tailgate unless I have to.

Edge we must be thinking the same thing I was just wondering if anybody on the forum has made this addition and would like to share their ideas you know "there's always more than one way to skin a cat" or Brain storming ideas
Thanx for the input AJ & edge any more ideas out there more than welcome
