I would like to install a waterproof camera here.

Also, a camera mounted on the exterior is likely to get dirty while driving.

A camera mounted on a license plate will get dirty while driving much faster than one mounted where the author of the topic wants to install it.

I agree, but the author's mount of choice won't be sturdy and that camera is going to bounce around, too. I also don't see how you can mount a camera in place of the shark fin without disrupting radio signal.

Why not mount by licenseplate area?

This thing.
And camera mounted much upper is looking more far away that installed on rear license plate.
Also headlamps of cars moving behind me blind the low-mounted camera more severely than rear cam mounted on a roof near shark fin.
And my rear window is tinted that cause some negative effects even with using CPL on rear cam at some sun positions.

@Dex_

You can't avoid that rainbow effect with CPL and Tint. The only solution is to put a non reflective black mat on the windshield to avoid glare and not use CPL.
 
It was most worse frame but even without CPL it is a bit visible.

In most cases using CPL is preferrable for me. But of course you are right - tint + CPL is not best combination.
I want to try a waterproof cam on roof now to do a full comparison VS license plate installation VS inside installation.

Really keen on getting a waterproof camera and installing it above the numberplate. Has anyone got any real life experience of it mounted there, any issues?

go with 329 or a229 pro but stay away from the ultra until they work out the bugs. i bought one and returned it, it ran hot and it's hungry for power. i went from around 16ish hrs on my a229 pro 2 channel on my powercell 8 external battery pack to 10 hrs in park mode on the ultra. there is no way to disable the rear led light on the rear cam, pretty sure that does not help as well.
