Pros:
- Easy to install! It snaps onto your mirror with rubber strips. Super easy
- Comes with all the tools needed to hide the cables in between panels and organize them in your car.
- Touchscreen is responsive as it should be and accurate
- Front camera has excellent video quality
Cons: The only one I can think of after all these months using it for more than 10 hours daily, 5 days a week, would be the rear view camera quality and display on the mirror itself, which at night and at night only is worse than the front camera.
HELPFUL TIP!!!!! :
- I DO NOT recommend to install this camera on the outside by your license plates if you intend to use this camera as rear view mirror at ALL TIMES. And it’s not even the camera’s fault (I set it by my license plate for 3 months and it held up just fine, even through automated car washes). It’s just that it requires constant cleaning and wiping to get a good, clean and crisp view of the back. Just forget about it if it’s raining, can’t see anything. Had to stop all time to clean. Snow??? Just switch it to the regular mirror option and forget you even have a camera on the back, it gets covered in 1 minute of snow driving.
SOLUTION:
I made a cut out on my rear window tint and installed the camera on the inside (had to make a cut out as it’s 5% visibility, you might not need to, but glass without any tints is better). My camera it’s placed right under the washer fluid sprayer, on the very top, and the wiper keeps the glass clean. Plus I have a better view of the back from the camera being up high and it reduces glare from other headlights.. Plus I don’t have to take any chances from being exposed to the elements and people.
Final thoughts: Excellent camera for the price. All my passengers love it as well and 4 of them have already bought it after seeing mine. I bought it for the mirror functionality as I already have a dual channel dashcam system in my car.
I can’t write a detailed review about the dash cam functionality as I never used it when things happened (cut offs, accidents in front of me etc). I always use my other dashcam as it also has parking mode. But so far it has not shown any errors or stopped recording out of nowhere. Fires up all the time and does its job.
1. It is amazingly clear at night, even with the car head light off. However, glares of the headlight from the car behind would be an issue. It is the trade off of clear detail at night. So, I don't blame on the product.
2. The wire with rear camera is tiny enough to get through any hole for installation.
3. It can use up to 128GB SD card (I tested on U3 speed grade. Although the card is pre-formatted, it still needs to be reformatted by the camera.)
4. Easy to install, my first time.
So far so good, I love it.
My concerns - not related to product quality, so I still giving it 5 stars.
1. The display is clear enough in cloudy days. However, it is not strong enough with the rear window strong sunlight (noon) getting to the car mirror in the BIG Sunny days. (This is natural. Even a computer display cannot clearly see under the direct sunlight. So, I don't blame on the product). I live in sunny California. Although this product can work as a mirror, I have to tilt the mirror to an "awkward position" to avoid sunlight from rear window to watch the display. Thus, the physical mirror function is meaningless. Besides, I need to have my eyes to get use of focusing on display instead of focusing the scene seen through the mirror. I may consider non-mirror attached camera next time.
New Update: I am not used to use the display to replace the back mirror. I finally use it as "normal mirror" and switch off the display, with recording still on. However, the new issue is the "mirror" somehow "dangling/shaking" when on the local rough road. Need to find a way to tightly fixed on the original car mirror.
I also found a position that allow me to watch as a mirror in the day time and as a display at night. The trade off is that there is dual image (mirror and display) at around sunset. To resolve this, I need to switch off the display function (still recording)
2. The front camera can not be circularly tilted a little bit to make the ground horizontal in the display. Instead, I need to tilt the whole mirror. However, the front camera is very nice to be able to tilt it up and down, left and right, so that I can aim to the middle of the road.
Results:
1. Video file format: .MOV, videos is very clear and detailed on the computer.
2. 5min file size: 100MB ~ 375MB. For a 32GB card, both front and rear camera recording, worst case is 3.2 hours before looping. Assuming mean file size to be 250MB, it is about 5 hours recording before looping. For a 128GB card, means 13~20 hours of recording.
3. Night time file size is not measured yet.
New update: It will take average 1.7GB/hr and 1.9GB/hr for front and rear camera respectively. That is, 3.6GB/hr memory is needed. For a 128GB micro SD card, it can take around 35.5 hours.
4. Parking assistant is just an image with FIXED guidelines, NOT that helpful. However, the rear image and backup image can be set to show different up-down angel. But it would be reset to same angle once power off.
Installation tip for rear camera:
The only challenge is to install the rear camera on top of the license plate. I figured out that the camera wire can be get through the plate light hole and connected in the trunk. The plate light is actually clicked on the back hook. Remove the light and have the camera wired in and click the light back. I don't need to drill any hole through car body.
