it was really nice of James Franco to take some time out of his day and put this tutorial up for us thank you I appreciate that
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💯
Bought one a week ago, only just unpacked it. Looks good. Your video cleared up a query as the instructions are poor. I now know what the remote is for and the power connection for it. Clear as xtal now, many thanks.
Saved my bacon, thanks.
Got a Chinese translated instruction manual and couldn't work out the rear camera wires. Watched your video and all clear now. Thank you sooooo much.
I think you just saved me $340.00 from getting a rear view camera only. Thank you very much! You rock!
I have the exact same rearview dashcam mirror/back up camera kit. After installing it, I noticed that the back up cam powers up when I turn on the car but the rearview mirror doesn't switch automatically to the back up cam when put on reverse. I found another video in TH-cam and found the answer.
All this time, I thought it was the RED wire (from the back up cam) that powers it. IT ISN'T. It is the black plug that powers the back up cam (at 7:25 mark of this video). So to clarify and not to confuse people, the red wire from the back up cam is NOT a power wire. It is a reverse trigger wire (so the rearview mirror knows when to switch to the back up cam when put on reverse). Once again, it is the black plug that powers the back up cam (at 7:25 mark of this video) which is connected all the way to the rearview mirror, and then from the rearview mirror goes the power cord to the cigarette adapter. You have to make sure to connect the red wire from the back up cam to the +ve wire of the reverse light. You can do this by using a digital multimeter or a test light to confirm that. So when the reverse light turns on when put on reverse, it triggers the back up cam which sends the signal to the mirror and it switches the view automatically. When you put it back on Neutral, Park or Drive, everything goes back to normal and the dashcam in the front and the back up cam starts recording your video again.
I also find that the scotch locks (splice connectors) are not reliable. I recommend connecting the wires the same way as shown in this video or you can strip a small portion of the insulation in the middle of the wire (to expose the actual wire) and wrap around the other wire on it, then seal it off with an electrical tape (or heat shrink).
Peter Reyes, that helped but quick question a) do you have attach the red wires to the lights and b) if you don't does it still record. I am guessing it always records and the red wire setup is for reverse parking (which my car already has). Thank you in advance.
Thank you for this response on the red wire! I too thought the red and black wires were rear camera power!!
Sometimes you tube videos are easier then manauls or google search results.
Appreciate your time writing this! A++
I had no idea how those cables were connected. It looked like a Master Class. I'll watch it again until I get it. But this is a good job. Thanks!!!
These are fantastic for folks that want to add a traffic cam that works with good quality video that install cheaply. Even with the best install it looks like an afterthought. Think of the video monitors that were strapped to the back seats of cars in the 90's. You have to be in a relatively good neighborhood. In a bad neighborhood you may just get the camera taken.
The systems that replace the factory mirrors completely are a better option. All the wires are hidden and they look stock. They do NOT have the same quality video and can only record forward video without modification. They are at least 4 times the price and more difficult to install. They are far more secure if you park your car in less than perfect areas.
For most people this is fine. If the mirror malfunctions you can just throw it away. Buy a new one and plug it in in seconds.
I just purchased the same set up, so grateful for the hands on video install. I have the same class vehicle aswell. Much appreciated.
Installed Auto-Vox M2 camera system. Works fine except for backup camera. The image is flipped. What is on the left side of image should be on the right and vice versa. Told company and they sent new cables, which did not fix the problem.
Thanks for the video! this unit rocks! Nav screen reverse integration on my Porsche would have cost me 2k plus. This clip on reverse mirror works way better keeping my head up also easier to use the passenger mirror tilt to prevent curbing my rims. Much more natural to look from rear view to side view during back up.
I watched over 10 videos, only u show how to turn on or off screen fuction, that is the point I'm looking for. Thanks:)
I got a defective one. Those rubber support bands lasted about a day with the Florida heat. Using my wifes old hair bands as a replacement😂 They work like a charm. The reverse camera is not very accurate in regards to distance. Also, the rear camera image flickers. The image color flickers between normal to a sopia/pink color. 😮😮
I find it odd that the entire system isn't powered with a single 12v socket.
That would save a lot of hassle wiring the backup camera.
Would be great if both camera were recording at all time and I can press a button on the mirror to activate the reverse monitor.
Still seem like a great product for the price.
Wold buy it if I didn't have a car DVR already.
From what I understand it is powered by the 12v socket front and back all the time? The wiring is just a trigger to switch to reverse view when reversing the car, so I imagine you could just skip that part, and mount the rear camera, without the hassle of wiring, and just have permanent front and back recording?
Impressed with the review. Very detailed but moved through rapidly. Will make it much easier to install my Dash Cam
I just placed an order after watching your video few minutes ago. I am hoping the site is legit and delivers in time and the product i receive is exactly like the one you have reviewed.
That's a really good deal- a lot of people would need someone to do the install as they don't know soldering etc
I swear I have seen other systems just for the backup that can be set up to be on all of he time and not wired to only turn on when out in reverse. I would prefer a separate screen that has the rear always visible but man, for the money this is so tempting- just not sure I like the over the existing rear view concept- maybe if I could rig it to attach to the dash low. But that kinda defeats the design.
I bought one of this mirrors and your video is excellent, you explain very well how to install it, thank you
I bought this for super cheap years ago when I saw this video and I just installed it for the first time in an 09 Vibe (almost brand new car despite being 13 years old). Can you only access settings if you have a micro card in for memory?
I forgot to add if you stop the recording then hold menu button for 3 seconds you can access date, time, resolution and more settings.
Tampatec Glad to know their is a local TH-cam! What's up from Bradenton FL
Tampatec WHAT ABOUT REAR SIDES OF DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE RECORDING?...LIKE WHEN THE POLICE STOPS YOU AND APPROACHES YOU ON THE DRIVER SIDE?...I DID NOT SEE THE SIDES BEING RECORDED
Yves Estinvil records audio inside but not side door video recording. maybe next version.
Yves Estinvil If you wanted to recorded side to side you could buy the Dual Cam Dvr like I had and you can rotate side to side or point them both to front or rear.
How I stop the recording .I have hold all the bottom but nothing happened.I need to change the language
Just ordered mine! I will keep you posted about the install!
Awesome video!!! But it's not recommended to have the reverse camera outside the car, it's not waterproof and can be prone to be damaged, it's recommended to have it inside the back window of the car itself, many instruction manuals recommend this to prone the life of the lens..
Odd. Every single reverse camera is built on the outside of cars nowadays.
by far the best channel I think for reviewing products and for help full tips. keep the video's coming bratha
+stan picas thx
Just curious, if the cigarette lighter is already in use, is there any other way to wire up power to the mirror?
You could definitely wire it up in your fuse box, but that's a bit more of a pain
very helpful... thank you so much for putting in all this effort to educate and give a clear outline about what this product is all about.
So I bought this thank you for the review. Both back and front video shows fine, But when I put the car in reverse the video have lines in it any suggestion on what might be the problem? I recommend if you buy this and have a full size sedan, suv or truck but a extension 2.5 mm video aux cable.
Hey Tampatec, Your video has been a tremendous help and gave me the confidence to go through the whole installation thanks!
Yeah but you can't get these today. Clearly the recorded vid shows date "2101".... this is from the future man!!!
Don't know if this has been mentioned before or not, but why is the footage from the rear camera mirrored? The footage starting at 0:43 shows the vehicle make a right turn but the rear view footage is mirrored.
UPDATE: battery lasted 2 years, still works when car is on but i bought a new mirror anyways. still recommend Rearview mirror DVR dual camera system only $35 bit.ly/2OqU9lr
i,
i am from india i am working in building security company i want to purchase it for my clints
Your clints would be happy with it. Are they into western movies or spagheti westerns or dirty harry also ver good for clint.
is there a way to just have to back cam shown? would defiantly buy if that is possible.
Nice video, thanks for uploading. I have installed it in a Honda City and wonder if you can give me some ideas on these:
1. Whenever I open any of the doors, the cam turns on by itself and I have no idea why. I've only attached the rear cam wire to the wire of the reverse light.
2. Unlike in your video, I didn't attach the ground wire to the black&white one, but to a metal screw. Would you think it's a bad idea?
Thanks much!
Good video with examples of footage and how to install it. Can't wait to setup the one I got today. Thank you!!
I got a EzonetronicsRM-LZ2010 and it only has a red wire to hook up to the brake lights, no black ground wire. Is this defective or can it be hooked up with just the red wire, the cord does not seem to be missing, it just is not there.
Well demonstrated..... thanks a lot for great info
how did you change the date? I found when I went to change it, I could not get from the year across to the month. Nothing in the crappy paper that came with it.
can you rig it to be a surveillance camera instead of a backup camera? for a vehicle with no rear view window.
very good video, only I want to ask you when I connected 2 wires from back cam to cars reverse wires its on the screen I see back cam works great /in reverse mode/ but when I go back on parking on the screen still big reverse window, what I have to do,thanks in advance
thank you for the installation details and the clarification of back camera power connection. it is rely very helpfull
I just purchased the D700 and installed it in my wife’s Beetle. When I put the car in reverse, the screen does switch to show the multi-color “grid” you’d expect, BUT -
1. There is no image from the rear camera appearing on-screen, just the grids against a black background.
2. It automatically powers OFF after about three seconds.
Any ideas? I’m wondering if maybe the polarity is backwards, but I double checked with a multi-tester and it appears to be correct (unless the black and red coming from the mirror/screen are reversed at the factory?)
Hey ...good job. ..because off your video I now what to do with the wire. ..from the back camera. . ☺
Does it have a dim mode? For example, if the car behind yours has headlights that are too bright, will it dim automatically/have an option to dim?
They need one that replaces the factory mirror. My mirror already has a backup camera built-in. I want to replace it entirely with a mirror that also acts as a dash cam. It also should be powered by the car automatically, just like the standard mirror is.
Is there a way to update the firmware on this camera? I bought one and it seems to have software issues.
Is there a way to make the cam reverse view become active? Like all the time you can see recording(viewing) from reverse even in Park mode?
tell me does the front camera move to get you a front facing camera? when you have this on the rear view mirror your camera will face more towards the right side of the road . or does the camera take that into account and has that built into it already so it does face forward? thanks
Hi awesome vid does the back up camera have to be in the middle or can it be little to the right ar left away from the middle will the backup funtion or not thanks
I just installed the m2 reversing camera from auto vox. When there is no picture on the mirror and i reverse, the picture flickers.When any picture is on the mirror and i reverse the rear camera picture is clear. Is this a defect and should I return the unit?
Thanks for sharing your vid, my car already has a backup camera can I still use this product for its other purposes?
Tampatec I need help? I bought the same DVR mirror but it wont loop record. it says memory card full even tho i have it set to loop record I formatted the card inside the dvr but it still fills up and wont loop record
Hey, good video indeed. Are you still satisfied with the product? I've got similar on Aliexpress, however I am not really imperessed with the quality. The manual seems was taken from another products since some features not in the correct order or does not included at all, for example night vision.. I am about to find another one but want to be sure it is good. The one you demonstrated looks much better.
Tampatec. Since you have installed a few of these which one do you recommend and which one is the easiest to install.. I'm looking at the transmitter version.. I would like your opinion.. thanks in advance..
Can you still pull down and push all the way forward the sun visor? Also, can I power the mirror without using the cig port?
a quick question about back camera.
the rear camera need power to work only from reverse light? does it get power from AV port?
the rear light get power only then you gear reverse, how the camera works when going forword? where gets the power to run when forword?from AV?
It is the black plug that powers the back up cam (at 7:25 mark of this video). The red wire from the back up cam is just a reverse trigger wire (so the rearview mirror knows when to switch to the back up cam when put on reverse). So when the reverse light turns on when put on reverse, it triggers the back up cam which sends the signal to the mirror and it switches the view automatically. When you put it back on Neutral, Park or Drive, everything goes back to normal and the dashcam in the front and the back up cam starts recording your video again.
It seems the backfacing cam records side switched . Frontfacing it showed a right turn, backfacing showed a left turn... It is around .40 sec.
You did a great Job👍I would have used a wire harness and heat shrink electrical tape tape can come undone
Nice and affordable ! Question: I have a rear-view mirror so at night, I don't have to flip it up to avoid the bright lights from the vehicle following me. How does this mirror work at night? I would hate to lose the feature and look for another dash cam that would allow me to keep the stock mirror.
+Kevin Shea since its just clipped on you Can still use the tilt tab, hope that helps. i actually used it last night when annoying super-sized truck with flood lamps was driving behind me, after i flipped my mirror tilt tab he started to tailgate me, maybe he was getting a reflection back, lol, good!
got to say you were very detailed on everything thanks you, just sold me on it going to buy one soon
Hello, I am trying to install Remax CX3 in my 1990 Mercedes 300D. I have only one wire in the reverse bulb. Where to attache the 2nd wire. Please help me.
Always a great video man, keep rocking!
Hey there the one I have the front camera is really blurry any recommendations?
I have a Sienna 2014, it seems harder to install a backup camera.
can you take off the display from the front camera, and when put car in reverse then the display comes on?
my car already has a camera in it thats how my car came how do i set it up that it doesnt interfere with that camera is that possible if not how do i set it up to make it work ? does the rear view mirror come with a back up rear camera or does it use the one naturally that you have in your personal car take mine for example that has a camera that allows a more easy acess to pull out of parings then shuts off as i put it in drive?
Is there any setting in the menu for auto sleep the LCD after record starts. Thanks.
I'm looking for a dash camera for my vehicle, have looked many of them. This one is cool but I have just one problem. I have a 2010 e350 Mercedes. Have a back camera already, I assume your car as well. The problem that I would have is to install the back camera, I wouldn't have the tech skills to do what you did even though it doesn't look complicated as well that I would have to dismantle a few things while adding the wire. That would be best for some tech skills shop who deals with those kind of things. But I like this dashcam no dough about it. Where can I order this item?
Good & informative video, thx! QUESTION: Could I power it off the coupelight?
What if the power and video wire not long enough, is there something to extend it?
I purchased one of these but it doesn't seem to auto record. I have to press OK every time in order for it to start recording. Does it auto record?
hi. i wanna ask someting. that rear camera has g-sensor?. Or car has shock after Front and rear all camera will be record video automatically or just front camera will be record?. i need to know this. my bad english language
Hi, it only has 1 2 3 minuets loop, how about if something happened more then 3 min.? It will loop after 3 mins. And loose the beginning of the accident? Thanks
Does anyone have a tutorial for Tiguan 2014 Reverse trigger wire? im not sure if I have to tap the red wire near my reverse light, or can I just access the reverse wire at the side panel inside my trunk..
I have been looking at the ones with GPS and Radar also.
Any way to hard wire something like this to your existing mirror power wire?
I'd like to hear from somebody who has this in colder climates. How does it function when the car is cold. -20 or so.. does the video display still work? does the camera function properly in the cold?
It works in cold weather I live in Chicago it got to 2 Deb and -25 windshield just the reverse cam was going slow
HI there, first of all I really want to thank you for your review. Thanks to you I was able to install my rear view camera. Now if you don't mind I have a question for you. The back camera or rear camera is blurry and I don't know how to correct the focus. It is there a problem with the camera installation maybe or is there any way to correct the focus from the rear mirror itself. I would appreciate your help. Thank you again Tony
Two things to check on your back up cam:
1) Make sure there is no plastic covering on the lens
2) I believe you can twist the lens clockwise/counter clockwise to adjust the focus
The problem with mine is the mirror part isnt very reflective, although I haven't installed it yet. it goes pretty much black when I view the video
Great video, you make it look easy. My boyfriend doesn't want to do it though anyway. :( I'm in Florida too, how far are you from the Clearwater area? I would pay you to come install mine for me. How much????? Once you got past the plugging it in part, it became beyond my skill level!!
Do not understand how will it record rear view always when it gets power only when putting car in reverse mode?
I was confused by this too but after installing the kit in my vehicle, now I understand.
I thought it was the RED wire that powers the back up cam. IT ISN'T. It is the black plug that powers the back up cam (at 7:25 mark of this video). I connected that wire without connecting the red and black wire from the back up cam and the back up cam is powered on and is shown in the display of the rearview mirror. So to clarify, the red wire from the back up cam is just a reverse trigger wire (so the rearview mirror knows when to switch to the back up cam when put on reverse). So when the reverse light turns on when put on reverse, it triggers the back up cam which sends the signal to the mirror and it switches the view automatically. When you put it back on Neutral, Park or Drive, everything goes back to normal and the dashcam in the front and the back up cam starts recording your video again.
So to answer your question, both front cam and back up cam records your video all the time. The back up cam is powered by the rearview mirror, NOT when putting the car in reverse.
Hi Peter i've put the red wire to set the trigger and i thought the black wire was ground so put it to the ground, should i leave the black one disconnected then? As i can't get a picture (i assume this is my issue then) Or does the black wire need to go somewhere too?
So to clarify, I don't have to deal with connecting red and black wires for the rear cam to function? I don't need a back up cam when in reverse. While driving is the rear cam recording at the same time the front is?
nice camera, but how I can get out the video? is there an application for that ? or I have to take the SD card out and put it on a smartphone?
Sd card goes into your PC to transfer video.
Hi guys, All connected, can't get rid of chinease settings, how you change it on english?
If automatic record over why a message say the card is full and don't let me record no more until I format it?
Is there a way for the rear view camera to always be on? My rear tint is very dark, and I'd like to be able to see the rear when driving using the camera.
yes just a setting in menu
Where can I go to get this camera installed for me? maybe a stereo place?
I have a c classMercedes w203 2003, can i use better rear view camera with this model mirror ?
Is this compatible for a Nissan Versa 2010 hatchback ?
thank you gonna buy three of them!!!!
if i start the car will it turn on automatically? and when im wanna turn off the car engine, should i power off it ?? or direct turn off car engine ??
hi...do u need to keep plug in the charger on your lighter socket?
Do you need to set a specif type of sd card. i bought one and it keeps saying to insert sd card but it's installed already.
I think I would prefer to mount the back up camera inside, on the rear deck inside the window. Less chance of somebody "messing" with the camera!
Just went to site and could not get shipping price without creating an account!
Hi I have one of this, so how do I access my recorded video. I couldn't find anything recent one on micro SD card. Is that have any internal memory without micro SD. If u can give some advice that will be really helpful.
the mirror is darker. it's like tainted mirror. at night, it's a little hard to see behind
How easy/hard is it to use that mirror during night-time driving? that material does not look very reflective.
Hi I have taken my van to a garage to connect the red wire to the reverse light wire, on doing so he said he saw the camera come on then all the display disappear,and now the mirror won’t switch on, there is power to it but know life from the camera, I have try the reset button but with know Success can you help thank you
very good and helpful. will watch it again when I really start to install the camera. Thanks a lot
Just wondering, it's been almost tow months now is this device is still working? I purchased it after watching you review but haven't installed it yet.
I installed this product but i have a problem its the view for back camera the right in the left and the left is right is it any thing to do?
how do you change the settings from Chinese to English.
How do you switch to night vision .When I drive at night everything isn't lit up .Unlike when you in reverse vision
He only had his car lights on plus the street lights
