    Are these cameras all visible, so you know where they are or is it not supposed to be known?
    I bought a truck from an old carrier and want to know where they would have been to make sure they are inactive or to use myself.

    They are usually dead center in the windshield.
    If they are there you should have no trouble finding them but I doubt a company would leave any in there. They are $$ and can be reused in other trucks.

    You had better look around in all the little nooks.
    A pinhole camera can be hidden almost anywhere.

    Magellan, you would have no way of using it for yourself even if was there.
    They are linked to the Qualcom that used to be in the truck, and would be password protected at the very least.

    I'm sure a truck co. wants to look at a driver who doesn't work for them.

    They are pronounced. Not hidden at all and quite big. They have to be mounted at the top of the window to get the full road view.
    I'll post a picture when I get into work.
