Dashcam placement

I used to have a garmin dashcam, which would accept voice commands, which was handy, because you don’t want to get caught touching those things while you are driving, if you want to save a clip. It stopped working after a couple of months, I wander if it was getting too hot at the bottom of the windscreen,on sunny days. I keep my new one on the dash resting on some bluetach and a bit of selotape
