Another option (again, only if practical) is to fit some sort of makeshift lens hood.

The cam attaches to the windscreen with tape so the lens is only a few mm away from the glass but the lens has a 170° field of view so any hood would be seen.
I think the main problem is I've only tested it going to and from work (heading east in the morning, west in the arvo) so I'm always heading towards the sun which is low in the sky during both trips
. I'm sure it will be fine in the middle of the day with the sun high in the sky so I'll find out over the weekend.
Still happy with it though, just have to run the cable across the roof liner and down the side of the A pillar to the fuse box and wire it in.
Next mission will be when I install one on the rear window, have to dismantle the trim so I can run the power cable down to the rear fuse box
Only 400km now to my complimentary 3000km service so I wont pull anything apart just yet
