Works as it should, I have it installed on my 2010 Jeep Wrangler. Anyone with a soft top Wrangler can tell you how bad the rear window can get so this thing is perfect for rear visibility. The installation was easy enough, I was able to use the camera cable from my previous rearview camera but did have to run the newer power plug. It has an annoying chime that plays when starting up and shutting down that I haven't figured out how to turn off, but I'm getting used to it. I had a Wolfbox 10" Mirror previously but it failed after a year and a half so I decided to go for this cheaper model just in case. 49.99 after a coupon isn't bad. It does not have GPS so no speed will be displayed. Read more

I installed this on a 2012 Ram 1500. The installation and routing the wires was simple. What makes me give this 4 stars is that the camera is offset to the left. When you wire the camera to the reverse light to trigger reverse parking mode with guidelines, the camera will switch to a zoomed-in downward angle and offset to the left making it virtually useless while in this mode. The offset is so badly off that you cannot rely on it's accuracy while backing up. I had to disconnect the wire that would trigger- the backup camera reverse parking mode. What worked better for me is when you start to back up, just swipe on the screen to move the camera downward to reverse. As another reviewer said, even when the camera is mounted directly in the middle of the car, the camera is naturally offset to the left so I mounted mine slightly to the right of my license frame. The recording is pretty good. Playback captures both front and back. I do not have this unit hardwired. Every time I open my door, the mirror makes a chime that you cannot turn off. The instructions aren't detailed as to what all the options do. For example, you can switch it to 50mhz or 60mhz frequency-- I can't tell the difference when I tried it... During the daytime, you'll have to have the rearview mirror angled downward a bit so you can see the video. In bright daylight, you'll have a hard time seeing the video where it's virtually useless as a rearview camera. At night, it's pretty good but lights will definitely blind the camera limiting it's use. If you want to see that effect, put your phone camera on and shine a flashlight at it from a distance. That will be the same effect as what you'll see in your rearview mirror camera. I took it through the drive through carwash and it still works fine- but that was only once so I can't really vouch for it's durability in wet conditions. I'm also in Southern California where it doesn't rain much. In my opinion, it's great device and for about $48 it's really worth it. There are some things that could be better and I wish there was a lot to make it your main mirror. I don't have much long term faith in the rubber straps that are used to affix the video monitor to the existing mirror. Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase and would definitely try a higher grade model from this company if I needed another one in the future. Read more
If you drive, then this is the best driving mirror I've ever had and I recommend it for all self-employed drivers. 🤠 Read more
Im changing my review because if I could give this zero stars I would. With all the stuff I said below about this camera, when I needed it most, it failed me. I had a car accident tonight and it was recording, however be the time I went to the emergency room and came back to my car to check the video it had a card read error and on my attempt to playback, it says No File. Do NOT BUY THIS CAMERA! ITS A WASTE OF MONEY! WHAT I MAY HAVE NEEDED AS PROOF, IS NOW NO LONGER AVAILABLE!!!!! I just want to say. I absolutely love that this camera has a really good clear picture/video and is so sturdy. I never got the back camera installed because I realized after a day or so that the front camera is thick in body and does not sit flush against the mirror. Therefore, it doesn't tilt far enough to see the road without you having to tilt the entire camera up. Then if the rear cam is not installed, you can't see your rear view in the front when the screen times out. I had to keep fighting with it. Until I finally just gave up and decided to return it. Easy to install great picture/video sturdy Overall, a really great dashcam just not for my car (Nissan Rogue SV). I'm gonna give it 5 stars because it may be perfect for other cars. Read more
To be clear, I paid only $50 for this very, very good 10'' Mirror Dash Cam. It was actually 50% off, so my review will consider that I did not purchase an Apple Laptop. It is important to understand that the touch screen is shaped as a rear-view mirror. It is placed on top of your existing mirror, so you will use the screen to view what it behind you and NOT your mirror (you still have the two side mirrors). The positive side is that you get a lot wider view of what is behind. The definition, both day and night, is excellent. You can adjust the brightness and can tell the camera to activate night vision. The camera has many good features. The one I like best is, when properly installed and when you enter the car in reverse, it shows the green, yellow, and red lines to guide you. I have NOT tried the recording feature, but for what I read it is a very good feature. You will need to purchase a good quality and fast SD card. The instructions are NOT the best, but you still can manage to install the cam. Don't expect to be an easy job as they claim. If you own a SUV, you are for a lot of difficulties. They recommend that you install the camera on or above the license plate and run the wire inside to the trunk of your car. Well, most SUV's have the license plates on the back door, so you need to remove the panel of the door to be able move the cord. Some SUV's have the backup light on the door and others not. For the parking assist guides, you need to attach a provided cord to the light. The frosted protective film on the mirror screen works great (you need to install it), but it reduces the clarity. I was wearing dark sunglasses and had to replace them by others with less darkness. When I decide to add the SD card to the cam, I will update this review. Read more
