I've had this camera/mirror for just a few days and still have not gotten used to it or found out about all its functions, so I came to RUclips to find more information. Thank you for your video. I found it helpful. My son installed it for me on a 2007 Honda CR-V, and let me state it was no easy task! I went to the CR-V owners' website to find out how to remove the A-pillar covers. On there, they said to pull the pop-rivets and then slide the cover up. Well, this doesn't work for a 2007. By accident, my son pushed down toward the windshield and that's what was needed. The sliding connector is totally different. And it was extremely difficult to get back on. Not the mirror's fault, I know. I just wanted to mention it to any other CR-V owners out there - if the cover doesn't slide off easily by pulling up toward the roof, try pushing it toward the windshield. Because this install was going to be "permanent," we ran the wires up under the front of the headliner and down behind the A-pillar covers - on the left for the power and on the right for the rear camera's cable and wire. For the power, we then ran it under the dash, tied it with zip-ties and then plugged it into the power outlet. The rear camera cable/wire was much more difficult. We first tried running it down and underneath various covers and came up terribly short, so then we ran it up over the top underneath the headliner and various covers - we still came up too short. So, I had to go back onto Amazon and find an extension cable. I could have purchased one from Toguard that was 32' long that plugged directly into the mirror but did not want to have to pull the A-pillar covers and other covers again and re-run the cable/wire, so I ordered a 6', 4-pin extension cable. Once that was received and hooked up, we popped the covers back on and tried everything to make sure the rear camera was angled properly. All in all, it was about an 8-hour job. As I said, I haven't had much time to play with it yet to see how everything works, so I cannot yet give a review on how the mirror/camera works. Advice: make sure you buy an extension cable if you have an SUV-type vehicle; make sure when running the cables -power and rear camera - you don't interfere with the airbags.
I guess you guys suck at wiring this in. It took my less than an hour by myself on my escalade to do it. I ordered extensions cuz I knew I'd need it. If not I could return it
Great video. I just want to add something. If you don`t want to see the footage and just use it as a mirror you can switch off the screen and there won`t be any overlapping footage. Cheers
Great review. Then we saw you drive whilst filming on your phone... 🙃 Always makes me uneasy seeing things like that. My cousin died because someone was using their phone whilst driving. It’s not a risk worth taking.
13:19 There's an easy way to eliminate the reflection on top of your video footage. Just tilt the mirror upward toward the roof of the car until you only see the video footage and the reflection is no longer visible. You might have to adjust the angle of the front camera depending on how far you need to tilt the mirror.
HI SIR IF I GOT THIS PRODUCT DO I HAVE TO HOOK UP THE BACK UP CAMERA AND JUST LEAVE THE FRONT CAMERA IF I WANT TO WOULD IT STILL LOOK GOOD FOR THR FRONT CAMERA IF I DICIDE TO DO THAT
That's the G sensor. So if it senses a crash while you are driving it will start recording new video and lock it. I had mine on medium and low sensitivity and it would keep going off as I was driving due to bumps in the road, so I just turned off the G sensor as it causes lapses in the recording. So random sections of ur drive will not be recorded. Turning off the G sensor solves that issue. I keep the parking sensor on tho
Hey, can you tell me the actual dimensions of this mirror? Also, the wire connections seem to stick out a lot and looks quite untidy. Do they not provide a recess behind the mirror housing? seems quite silly that they would make a mirror look so nice yet have the wire connectors all visible. Thanks
I have this fitted in my car now, BUT, is is designed for LHD vehicles. I am in the UK, RHD, so the mirror turns the other way, making for forward camera push back, and when fully turning the front camera to the right, it stops short, so catches view of the left A pillar. Yes, I can turn the mirror a bit but then it wouldn't be facing me. The company could perhaps make these sided, for LHD or RHD, so there is a choice. Otherwise, it's a good piece of kit. I have mine hardwired in. BTW, to hardwire this in, it requires a minimum of 2A to power it, otherwise the unit will keep shutting off. I found this out.
Do you have to take some parts off from the vehicle to hide your wires for the back camera & then putting things back in its place, because it looks difficult to do that. I wish you could've shown us tips of how to hide the wires without breaking things in the vehicle
You said seeing both camera footage and using as rear view mirror at same time is a disadvantage, you can set screen to go off after 1min or say turn screen off in voice command, or short press on/off It will still record covertly. Does anyone know if voice command controls reversing mode, with parking lines?
Sorry to be a party pooper but none of these style of cameras are reliable ive had at least five of all different makes of these cameras and none have lasted for more than 6 months you have to keep checking that they are recording very unreliable just my opinion guys
Might be a problem with the SD card. You have to use high quality cards because writing and over writing video files constantly slowly wears out cards to the point they can't store data anymore. carcamcentral.com/guide/recommended-microsd-cards-for-dash-cameras
If you live in a really hot area during the summer months the heat inside the car can be brutal on dash cams not to mention the direct sunlight coming through the windshield can definitely shorten the lifespan of these types of dash cams.
@@LL-dk5lb I haven't seen any sold in the US, at least not under their brands, but in Japan they had a more expensive model with sony sensors that used a logic chip to change the contrast around headlights so as not to wash out the camera. But there's still more problems: 1) if camera is mounted outside the vehicle, its likely to get dirt on it because the back is a low pressure zone sucking dirt onto it, and if its mounted inside you don't get a great straight down view of the bumper when parking 2) Your eyes are focused far out when looking out the windshield allowing you to glance at objects far out behind you in the rearview mirror. With an LCD, you have to change your focus from outside to very close to you, making it blurry in your peripheral vision and visa versa and can even be a problem outright for people over 40 that need corrective lenses, which is a problem that doesn't exist with mirrors since with a mirror you focus on the object far away still since its just reflecting the distant source of light.

Thanks for the review, it definitely helpful. Wish you would have shown the rear camera installation.
This camera can just be plugged in. It doesn't necessarily need a hardwire installation

Yeah... he mentions that at 14:18
Which one would you recommend, this one or the previous model CE60 ?
Man I love RUclips. Thanks heaps!
Glad to hear it!
Great vid....lots of information. 👍🏽

How big of an micro SD card should I get? 16 GB? Or do I need the full 256 GB?
wouldve loved a more in depth talk about the gps, but thanks none the less
Thank you but I was looking to learn how to install it, and how the GPS operated.
There are lots of videos on RUclips that show how to do this just do a search for it
How do you use GPS ?
I have a CE39 and I broke the reverse cam lead at the circuit board. Do you know if I can order another one?
Thanks
Why don't you show where the wires go/are hidden in the car. Also, when in park will the camera continue to work?
Yes, it works in the park. Cables are hidden in the dashboard where window gets connected with the car.
Just do a RUclips search... there are plenty of videos that show how to do this
HI SIR IF I GOT THIS PRODUCT DO I HAVE TO HOOK UP THE BACK UP CAMERA AND JUST LEAVE THE FRONT CAMERA IF I WANT TO WOULD IT STILL LOOK GOOD FOR THR FRONT CAMERA IF I DICIDE TO DO THAT
Yes you can just use the front only if you want
What's that yellow progress bar that pops up ones in a while?
When you turn off the screen does it still record?
Ye it still does, if you turn the screen on again it will automatically lock the recording so it doesn't get wiped
Just bought one ,,fantastic bit of kit,never use a normal mirror again
Hey is the camera still recording once the screen is off and you were using as a normal mirror? Thanks.
It still records
@@EvgeniyC how much
Do you leave it plugged into the cigarette lighter all the time even when the car is turned off? Does it not kill the car battery?
Ian Hillman because they draw very low power it would need to be on for several days before draining the battery.
How is the rear view mirror as a pure mirror, no streaming video, just mirror?
Works great!
I second that
My recording button that flashes on and off on the screen turns yellow and a yellow bar appears on the bottom screen, what does that mean?
That's the G sensor. So if it senses a crash while you are driving it will start recording new video and lock it. I had mine on medium and low sensitivity and it would keep going off as I was driving due to bumps in the road, so I just turned off the G sensor as it causes lapses in the recording. So random sections of ur drive will not be recorded. Turning off the G sensor solves that issue. I keep the parking sensor on tho
Does the screen turns off automatically wile driving instead of turning it off manually
Yes, it can turn off automatically
@@EvgeniyC how do you turn it off automatically?
How do you reverse the rear view image?
Useful video, exploring all the things that it does. What was the music?
Hey, can you tell me the actual dimensions of this mirror? Also, the wire connections seem to stick out a lot and looks quite untidy. Do they not provide a recess behind the mirror housing? seems quite silly that they would make a mirror look so nice yet have the wire connectors all visible. Thanks
Hey, am just wondering if the wire for back camera will be reach from front to back of SUV 8 seater??
You’ll need an extension piece easy to order

Charley brown what do you mean by 2A to power it
@@toyatoya2569 2 Amps.
Jenya, is there a way to make the rear view camera turn on automatically when car is put into reverse?
Yes, you can connect it to your lights in the back. As soon as it detects that you are going back, rear view camera turns on.
Do you have to take some parts off from the vehicle to hide your wires for the back camera & then putting things back in its place, because it looks difficult to do that. I wish you could've shown us tips of how to hide the wires without breaking things in the vehicle
There are several videos on RUclips that show how to do that... just do a search on "how to hide dashcam wires or cables"
So.. you have the rear camera installed inside the car on the back window.
Yes
Bro . my camera is inverted like flipped top to bottom.
You said seeing both camera footage and using as rear view mirror at same time is a disadvantage, you can set screen to go off after 1min or say turn screen off in voice command, or short press on/off It will still record covertly.
Does anyone know if voice command controls reversing mode, with parking lines?
An easier fix would be to tilt the mirror upward until the reflection is no longer visible.
Is continuous recording possible?
Yes
Hi do you why this model or 2.5 model keeps restarting randomly or is it just defective
What’s the name of the song playing?? 😀
i buy it but i don't understand how gps works
you should learn how to stop on the stop signs
How did you get gps to work dont you need to download and install software?
Plug and play
At night when I turn it off as it’s too bright inside the car , it turns on again automatically;
Hola... Aun estando la pantalla apagada y quedando en espejo normal, aun así grabaría delante y detrás?
si
Can someone remind me how to play the video back? Thank you
Does it come with cable for fuse box?
no can buy extra on amazon around $14
Hello my friend the solution is move the mirror down
Nice
Do you have to press record every time you drive or does it turn on by itself?
Automatic when you start car, just got one and it's worth every penny
hi! is there any android app to download videos with wifi? and the night footages are overexposed. no chance to read cars plates.
Not with this model
How long is in built battery for 24 hour parking last?
The battery is very small, but the camera only turns on and takes a short vid if it detects movement so it's fine for 24 our parking
@@adventuresofandre8268 Thanks for the info
just position the camera away from the glare

Always welcome
Wires look ugly
Yeah I tucked them away after to make them invisible
ok... rear view camera should have been OUTSIDE mounted! you have so much light reflecting on the window that it makes the video garbage quality.
The glare makes it unusable during the day, and the headlights wash out the image at night. I'm not sure how this gets almost all 5 star reviews.
Two main things I'm concerned about as well. Do you know other brands that works better?

He has the rear camera installed inside the car while it should ideally be on your reverse plate.
It gets 5 star reviews because there are workarounds that resolves most of these issues. A simple Google search does wonders.
