Azuga 3M Mount, AI Dash Cam

At a glance

What the shop says it is

The shop lists this as a 3M adhesive mount for the AI SafetyCam. It says the mount needs no drilling or screws. The price was $2.99 on 2026-10-21. That is all it says. There is no size, no temperature range and no mention of what surface it bonds to.

Where Azuga says to put this camera

Azuga's stand-alone camera guide recommends the mirror mount or the suction cup. It says to mount as high as possible on the driver side, inside the wiper sweep, with the driver's upper body visible and nothing blocking the in-cab lens. It also says to check local rules on objects on the windshield first. The pages we read do not describe this adhesive mount, so its steps are ours, not Azuga's.

Why a one-shot mount needs a dry run

1. Hold the camera where you want it. Sit in the driver seat and check the view of the road and the driver.
2. Mark the spot with a small piece of painter's tape on the outside of the glass.
3. Clean the glass where the pad will go. Let it dry fully.
4. Press the mount on firmly and hold it. Then leave it before you load the camera.
5. Aim the lenses only after the mount is fixed. Azuga's own order for this camera is to loosen, but not remove, the three security screws, aim, then tighten.

For the newer Plus and Pro, Azuga says to wipe the glass with alcohol, press the plate for 30 seconds and wait at least 15 minutes before attaching the camera. That is Azuga's method for another mount, but it is a sensible model for this one too.

What goes wrong with adhesive mounts

• Peeling off a cold windshield. Glass that is cold or damp will not take the pad. Do the job when the cab is warm.
• Placing it before aiming. If the view is wrong, the mount cannot move. Be sure first.
• Blocking the wipers or a sensor zone. Look at where the camera sits behind the mirror, rain sensors or other glass equipment.
• Leaving fingerprints on the pad. Oils reduce the grip.

Carry a spare

At $2.99 there is no reason to run a job on one mount. Keep a few in the van. If the first pad lifts, or the placement turns out wrong, you can remove it and start fresh without a second trip. We do not know how well the pad can be removed and reused, and Azuga does not say, so plan on a new one each time.

Where to go next

Questions we get

Is this the same mount as the suction cup?

No. Azuga's guide mentions the mirror mount and the suction cup. This is a separate adhesive mount from the shop.

Can I reposition it after it sticks?

Azuga does not say. We would plan on one placement and treat any move as a new mount.

Does it work on the Plus or Pro?

The shop lists it for the AI dash cam. The Plus and Pro have their own windshield mounts at $10, listed separately.
