So long as it's appropriately anchored, reasonably routed, and protected from the elements (with waterproof connectors for any joints, etc.), it should be just fine. Might be best to use a sturdier/thicker cable than would be minimally required going via the interior just for physical protection, or running it in some sort of a tube or bundle if it seems fragile.
I'd probably avoid going on top of the roof unprotected unless I knew the wire was UV rated. There's no real concerns about electrical safety for a video cable, as the voltages and currents involved are miniscule, so pretty much the worse that can happen is that the rear view camera system goes on the fritz.
