this product we used for Uber driving. The rear view camera was mounted on the dash facing the passengers and was great to see interactions from the passengers and they like it If you do Uber or Lyft the rear view camera when mounted inside is good for driver security. I have seen the rear camera mounted also behind the second row seats to capture any illegal activities, We always tell the passengers about the camera to smile. Never any objections. they see is as safety on their own,
That's a really good idea, especially for the drivers security. Also, I remember thinking when I installed mine that I wish I could fit a 3rd camera to it, or that it had a 2nd small camera built into the mirror facing inwards to record the interior, just for the off chance that someone broke into the car you'd possibly record their faces then.
When part of an image is extremely dark but another part is so bright you can't see any details, that's dynamic range-the difference in lighting. Cameras with wide dynamic range (WDR) have special software that allows them to balance that lighting for one clear image.
Thanks a lot for this video. I was having trouble trying to install mine and your video answered the questions I was having problems with. very well done, thanks again.
I have a similar one, but the rear camera does not work. I reset, I checked the cameras. the white LEDs light up when I reverse but it does not record and the rear camera does not appear
Really enjoyed your video's! Thank you. Just wondered if you can advice me on which dashcam installation kit to get? The ones I saw on Amazon all seem to be 5V output and I noticed that the dashcam said it works on 12V - does this mean that the universal ones won't work this dashcam properly? Appreciate any advice please!
Hi, thank you. I'm not sure, I thought dash cams usually were 5V. Maybe it's just misleading wording and it's meaning it's made to be plugged into the cars 12V power socket as they all are, but the cam itself is 5V and the plug converts the 12V down to 5V. The plugs that come with dash cams do this. Look on the back on the cam see if it says: Input: 5V or Input: 12V Or google the model of your dash cam for the specs. 12V seems like a lot of power just for a dash cam.
Hello. I have installed this xamera on my car and it worked fine for some time but now it is operating very slowly, basically lagging be it in selecting the menu options or the camera it self. Any idea why this could happen and how to fix it?
Oh, if there is no memory card in then I have no idea. Maybe try setting it back to default in the options menu (it will also reset the language to chinese, so take note how to change it back before you do, or watch one of my other videos where i show how to change it back from chinese). On mine there is a little pin hole on the back which is a reset button that u need a pin to press, I assume that's to set it back to factory, I've never pressed it tho so press it at your own risk. It might wipe everything lol. That's as much as I can think of to try.
Thanks for the vid. Helped me a lot. After seeing your 1 year later... review I bought this mirror and got it a few days ago but I have some issues. Biggest problem is that it stops recording after a while for no reason. Sometimes it records 10 clips a one minute and then it stops recording. I restart manaually. Then it may continue recording 2, 5, or 10 clips - but it always quits recording after a while. Secondly: sometimes clips get only a few seconds long (1 or 5 or 20) althogh one minute is set as length. More weird: the clips do have same filesize as one minute clips. Strange. Thirdly. You said, starting and closing sound was annoying. But you didn't hear mine. Yours sounds like a piece of 'music'. Mine sounds as a cat would have been killed. Fourthly: sound recording quality is quite good as long as it is quiet. As soon as it is a bit louder audio switches immediately into distorted noise. I can live with 4, 3 and even 2. But the first point is unacceptable. I will send it back and buy a new one. Hope I just had a "monday device". Does anyone have similar issues?
HI, thank you, I'm glad it helped you! Yes I agree the first point is unacceptable.. its the fundamental function of it, it must stay recording so yes I would say send it back. Just one thing u could try.. have you tried changing the memory card for another, if you have a spare to try, just to eliminate it being a faulty memory card causing the issue and save you the hassle of returning it. Tho to be honest id guess it was more likely the recorder at fault. Yeah all the files sizes on mine are always the same size too, whether they're 1 minute or 5 seconds long they all make the same file size as a 1 minute clip (if its set to one minute clip length). I'm guessing now that it's for the cyclic recording to function, like when the card is full and it comes to overwrite the oldest file there is enough file space if it was to delete a 5 second clip to record a 1 minute clip in its place. Yeah at least mine is music haha, it was just really really loud.
LeesRandomVids you're right, I should test another sd-card. It's brandnew, samsung, bought for this mirror. Well, I had ordered the new mirror yet and we'll see. :D In the meantime I had some time to do an advanced testing today (1.5 hour trip). First thing I realized at home: THIS CAM IS NOT 'FULL HD 1080' as promised - it's just HD720. Plz check out your videos, it's not full HD. The colors are fine but the picture is very noisy what you can see best, if the car stands still for a while. I still have the issue with broken recordings. Question: if a clip is only 20 secs long, does your mirror continue recording immediately without gap? As already told I have lots of gaps, from a few secs to many minutes but I hope the new mirror will do its job better. Greetings from Germany to England.
Just wanted to add two things: 1. The new mirror that I got yesterday does NOT have this issue with interrupted recordings. I did a 30' test driving and it recorded without any gap. Yeah! I compared the software versions - they're the same so the first mirror definetely had a bug. I assume at this low price there's no QC at all. QC is customer so to say. 2. I wrote, the mirror was just recording 720p. That was not correct. I'm a fool. You can decide whether you get 720p or 1080p. I think there's a difference in picture quality; the new mirror seems less noisy in picture. But now I have strong banding effects (bad color solution like in gifs e.g.). Well I can live with it. Now as the cam is recording continously it's worth its price (35 Euro). I'm happy with it. Greetings.
Hi mate, yeah I had a feeling the fault was with your mirror not the card, but it was something just to try to try and save you the hassle of a return, anyway I'm glad you got it sorted. And obviously the 720p max image quality was another fault with yours. You are correct tho, it is 1080p however its definitely not HD quality. Yeah we have to take into account the price, its very cheap, we get what we pay for, I doubt theres little QC if any as you say, but even then it needs to be in working order or its useless. Its low quality but it works, its there to record any incidents we hopefully never have. I made a sample footage video of mine to show the quality it records if its any use to you. ►th-cam.com/video/G9-7_AorJyI/w-d-xo.html I said in that that is wasnt high quality but good enough to record any incidents. Anyway I'm glad you got it sorted mate and hope you never have to use it! PS I've been around the south of Germany and it was beautiful! :D
Is there an option where its just plain mirror but it is still recording? I don't need to see the rear and front video all the time. All I need is the mirror and that it is still recording. I have poor eyesight specially at night. Thank you
I have one of these, however when I go to review the recorded footage on my computer, the video comes across really choppy. After looking closely at all of the settings, it says the video is recording in 274,000+ KBPS rather than MBPS. Would that have anything to do with it? I've tried changing all the settings on the device and it still results in the same outcome.
How you dim the screen, you did it so fast! it's very annoying to drive withe screen on while driving, specially at night. Please show or tell me how to dim the screen while the camera it's on. Thanks for the video!
Yeah it is. You can press OK to turn the screen off manually but it's better to set the screen to turn off automatically, you do this in the options under LCD Brightness on mine, and can set it to turn off after 10, 20 or 30 seconds. I show how to do it in the very beginning of this video: ►th-cam.com/video/qpukX0-W4oE/w-d-xo.html Hope it helps! :)
have Blackbox dvr dash camera when I installed in my car , first it worked well but after few months of usage, Back camera is not getting displayed on screen during reverse, while Front camera is working well and recording. I will be thankful. I tried with different display unit and the reverse camera is displaying in that device. Can any body help what wrong is with Back camera and how to fix it. is it hardware issue? or software issue? (firmware)
I don't know mate but the first thing I would do is check all the wiring to make sure nothing has come loose with the rattles of driving, or been trapped.
I have the same after some recording it came errors and i have to format sd.. when i trying to see whats on sd dont show any video recored but on dash cam can play any video only on computer doesn't show any video.. any help with that?
Just found out what VIDEO BOOT is if you uncheck it the camera does not start recording automatically when you turn on your ignition. Least that is what it does on mine
See I think it's a good thing. It means it starts recording automatically when you turn the car on, if you disable it it means you have to remember to manually start it recording every time you start the car, and if you forget then it's not recording. But yeah, if you prefer it not to start recording automatically turn off the "Boot Video" option.
I just got it today but is the ANNJIATUU Dash Cam 1080P H. Very similar setting but I noticed that the front camera that is showing on the right hand side of the back mirror is too big, i can't look at mirror full view of what is happening behind, is there anyway to make that screen smaller? Or is there anyway to let it off and just show a small portion of the back camera? Thanks
Thank you! Yes, they say the small rear cam is water proof and made to be fitted on the outside of the car or inside. I fitted mine inside so I have not tested it outiside.

The one thing I detest about Chinese electronic gadgets (which 99% of them now are) is that not only they default back to the Chinese language but also to their time zone, you could easily be recording in black and white (night vision mode) in a broad daylight, I have another Camera at home, every time it reboots it reverts to Honk Kong's time zone and it is very frustrating.
Maybe the internal battery is dead so it's not remembering the settings and reverting back to factory. It shouldn't reset every time you turn it off. Sadly I don't think there is an easy way to replace the battery as it's not a standard battery (I think).
Hello, I just installed this camera but after that, it worked for 5 min. and It stoped...I tried with the reset button but nothing...It looks like there's not power in it, I don't know why it doesnt't open anymore. Any advice is appreciated.
I have just purchased this, it seems to be that unless the inbuilt battery is a certain percentage, the rear camera won't appear on the screen? Is that correct?
No idea mate, other than removing the memory card to to eliminate the possibility of the card being faulty. If it works with the card out then it could be the card. Doubt it tho, but that's all I could think of to try.
Hi, Thank you. I have a 16gb card in mine and I get roughly about 1 1/2 hours I think so I'm assuming about 3 hours for a 32gb card. Thats with recording both front and rear cameras.
Al prender el carro ya no prende la pantalla. Es decir, prendo el swhicht, la pantalla prende y se oscurece o no prende. ¿Quéhacer? No encuentro en Ecuador, provincia de Santa Elena quién pueda repararlo. Confirme gracias Sixto
How do I automatically turn it off? My one takes 30 seconds to turn off. I just need it while reversing. After reversing I have to wait 30 seconds for it to turn off automatically. Does anyone have a solution?
Does this unit record the rear camera as picture-in-picture like the display shows, or do the front and rear cameras record to separate files? Also, can the display be shut off so it simply records without the display showing the realtime video?
Hi, thx for this review, I have the same, I have a couple of questions if You Pls. want to answear me, how to recharge the intern battery and did You ever tryed out to open the device up for replace battery ? if Yes how? , Thank You .
It charges the battery while ever there is power going to the unit, ie when you turn the car on. And no I've not tried opening mine yet but my battery is almost dead, someone else posted on one of my videos that they had opened theirs to change it but it's not some standard battery that's easily replaced tho
OK.. So I got one of these after checking footage I realised its not recording the front it's just giving me snap shots, the rear recording is fine.. What is the problem please?
hi there.. i have a set of questions for you and i would really appreciate if you could ans them for me, 1) what is megapixel is the front and the rear camera? 2) how does the recording work like as in how many mins can the video record in the internal memory and once put in the sd card then how many mins does it record constantly? 3) does the recording create different thumbnails everytime the camera is one or just over writes the old file? 4) and when does the recording overwrite the old file?
Hi 1) I don't know the megapixel of the video, it just says 1080p for the front camera and 720 for the rear. In the settings for taking a photo (front only) the max resolution is 3 million so the video is unlikely to be any higher than that. I made a video showing some sample footing when driving if its any use to you to see the actual video quality in use: th-cam.com/video/G9-7_AorJyI/w-d-xo.html 2) It records individual video clips, either 1, 2 or 3 minutes long, you can set which you prefer in the settings (I have mine set to 3 minutes). It just continues recording like that, recording clip after clip. The next video clip starts where the previous clip ends, I show this in the sample video too about 5 and a half minutes in, to show you don't really miss anything between clips. You need a memory card, I don't think it has any internal memory. How much you can record depends what size memory card you use, mine came with a 16GB card but I think it can take up to 32GB. I've not investigated exactly how many minute it records before its full and starts over writing the oldest clips, however the files sizes of the clips seem to be about 100mb per 1 minute clip for the front and 60 for the rear camera so that would be 160MB per minute. So 1.6GB for 10 minutes and therefore 16GB would be about 100 minutes (these are rough estimates). So id guess the max would be over 3 hours with a 32GB card, but again dont hold me to that im just going on the file sizes of the clips I used to make my other video. 3) It just uses a frame from the video clip, so yeah each video will get a different thumbnail, a frame from the video. 4) It will over write the oldest files once the memory card is full and keep looping like that forever (It wont over write any protected files, ie files it locks if it detects an impact). Hope it helps :)
Here's a question and answers video mate on this dash cam mirror after a year of use and I answer some of yours here: ►th-cam.com/video/qpukX0-W4oE/w-d-xo.htmlm15s
No, mine records just fine. Make sure 'boot video' is ticked in the options, this option makes it auto start recording when it is turned on. Pressing the 'ok button' manually starts or stops it from recording. Hope it helps.
I got the same...but mine makes lot of noise in camera area...also if i connect it and i put in back camera it makes a differend noise very irritating.Dont know if this also with yours?Mine does not buzzing when starting up and i got other sound and picture,so maybe not the same but i got for sure same box......Maybe mine is cheaper version because i got only 2 options in beginning and you have 3 so....But the opions are the same! peace!
Dont know mate, there's obv more than one software version then, but the unit itself is identical to mine? Yours all works fine apart from a buzzing noise from the camera area? In that case maybe its coming from the speaker? All those holes on the back above the camera are for the speaker. I placed a piece of black electrical tape over those holes on mine to reduce the volume of the music that plays every time it starts up (which I referred to as buzzing for some strange reason). Mine isnt faulty, I just didnt like the music that was so loud, the tape quietened it down quite a bit, but I can still hear it its just not really loud now. Maybe try doing something like that to block those holes and reduce the sound? Just an idea. Or take it off and cover the holes in the center too, maybe a couple of layers of tape so reduce the noise as much as possible. Sadly on mine there's no way of turning the volume down but maybe an idea for you, assuming it is the speaker making the sound. Mine was cheap too btw but so far still working tiptop.
yes the unit is the same....so from speakers?...oke and you cover it up with tape!?...oke i will do that to....so the holes are not there for cooling?..BTWay if i put in rear camera the sound is less but still there.First thing i thought of was the ground that was not good connected.But i will use some tape and hope for the best,yes mine was cheap to....but if it works ,fine by me...peace!
Well that's what id try if it was mine, and that's if it is actually the speaker making the noise, but that was my first thought as that's exactly where the speaker is. The holes above the camera yes are for the speaker, I've taped over those with no probs and it does decrease the volume somewhat, but not silent, try putting your finger over them first to see. The holes in the middle.. I don't know, tape over them at your own risk, I don't think it gets hot anyway but still, maybe try just taping over the speaker holes only and see what difference it makes. If its caused by a bad ground.. I've no idea on that one, I'm not an electrician. Hope the suggestion helps ya anyway. Cheers mate
for some reason whenever i plugged in my sd card and turned on the device, it keep saying format sd card. My sd is 64g and formatted. how do i resolve this issue?
The max card size it can use is 32gb, that's why mate. 64gb and up use a different format, that's why it keeps saying it needs formatting, but it can't as they use a different format. NTFS and FAT32 and all that.
Check no wires are trapped or pinched, maybe test with a different memory card if you have a spare just to eliminate that possibility, make sure you have removed the plastic film from the camera lens, also check the setting that its set to the highest quality if it has the option. If it's none of that is the problem then maybe the unit is faulty, in which case you should contact the people you purchased it from. Hope you get it sorted.
I'm having trouble finding the correct size of memory card for this mirror camera thing. Any tiny SD card that I have is too wide. I went to best buy and they even said that it was a weird size that they haven't seen before.
Yes mate, it tilts up down left right a bit, also rotates a bit too so u can level it. I had to angle mine as far right as possible to make it point forward down the road, it just about goes far enough, slightly to the left but nothing noticeable. Here's some sample video I posted after id fitted it: th-cam.com/video/G9-7_AorJyI/w-d-xo.html Hope it helps :)
Thanks mate, im glad it helped! Bit of extra info for you since using it: the blue tint of the mirror screen I mentioned in the video isnt a problem at all, works fine as a mirror. At night when the screen is displayed your eyes tend to focus on the camera screen more easily than the mirror but I have the screen to switch off after 30 seconds then the mirror works good as a normal one. Also the short music when it first switches on, I put a piece of black electrical tape on the back over the speaker holes and its way quieter now and I don’t notice it much anymore, not really a problem, just something I didn’t like.Cheers mate
My DVR is slightly different, the display is the same but the menus are quite a bit different... anyway the only thing i dislike is the reflection of headlights in the mirror...there seems to be a double reflection. But other than that it works great and I'm satisfied knowing that I have it in my automobile. www.ebay.com/itm/122370774931?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Yeah mine felt a bit weird like that at first too but I've gotten use to it now. At night if someone had their lights on too high behind me the mirror would look blue but where the (turned off) screen is that part would be a brown square, not much, but a slight different shade of colour which would make my eye focus on that rather than the reflection, and yeah seemed a bit double-ish vision. It doesnt seem as distracting now tho, must have got use to it. Something I can live with anyway. Yeah agreed, its good knowing u have it of someone knocks u and tries blaming you huh.
Try putting the memory card into something else to see if the memory card works, or try putting a different memory card in the mirror, just to eliminate it being a fault of the memory card.
I have Blackbox dvr (Full HD 1080 ) dash dualcamera (Back and front ) for recording front and back views while driving.This Blackbox dvr is also helpful in reversing the car showing the back view. This Blackbox dvr is also used as mirror and is attached to the mirror of the vehicle. when I installed it in my car , first both front and back cameras worked well but after 02 days Back camera is not getting on during reverse and is not displaying on the screen while Front camera is working well and recording. I also made the settings of dvr default and reset it by putting a thin plastic needle in the small hole on it's back but nothing worked. There is no display of back camera on the screen nor dvr turns off when it is plugged br its car charger. Can you please help me out that what is wrong with Back camera and how can I fix it. I will be thankful.
I don't know mate, but the first thing I would suggest is to check all the wires. Make sure the connections are ok and check the full length of the wire to the back camera to the front and check it's not trapped or has been cut or damaged somehow.
I've only ever seen this model for sale. I think they're for both but the primary design is for left hand drive but can also fit right hand drive too, the camera in the back can be angled for either, but fits better on LHD. That's my guess anyway.
Yes, it over writes the oldest files first and keeps on looping like that. It wont ever overwrite protected files tho, you need to format the card to erase those. The card can eventually fill up of these if it detects impacts from speed bumps or potholes etc.
I don't know what the capacity is, but very little. It said when it was knew that should give up to 30 minutes on a full charge, mine never did 30 minutes, maybe 20 at the most. Now the battery last about 5 seconds, it's just about dead.
I just bought a two-camera mirror just like the above video, plug in the car but there is a memory card, one day and then die does not work, what causes damage.
Does it have to be plugged in first before i can see the rear camera? Im trying to see if the rear camera works but i have no luck. Hoping someone will help asap. Thanks!
When you say plugged in, do you mean the power cable or the rear camera? Obviously yes the rear camera must be plugged into the dash cam for it to work. The dash camera has a built in battery but I think it should work the rear camera running on battery, however if its not displaying the rear camera whilst running on battery then go to your car and plug it into the cigarette lighter and power it from there before fitting it to test if it works (you can also power it from a computer via a usb cable like I did in the video). Hope it helps
It could be that its set to only display the front camera, you can select which camera it displays by pressing the left arrow button. You can choose to display front only, rear only, front with rear top left or rear with front top left. I recorded a 1 year on review of it the other day which shows this all better, I just need to stop being lazy and get it finished. Also, If pressing the left button still doesn't work then check that its recording from the rear camera by trying to play back the recording either on the unit or with the SD card in the computer. If its not recording anything from the rear then there could be a fault with it.
Ahh sorry mate I wish I could give you an actual length but I don't have one, its been installed in my car over a year and a half now and I cant remember exactly what it was. What I can tell you is that there was plenty of length left over when I installed mine that I coiled up and hid, and I went on quite a detour at the back, down from the roof, into the boot (trunk) back up under the light cluster and into the boot lid itself. Tho mine is a smaller car than the Ford Everest, I've not had anyone mention the cord being too short in the comments. I made a video fitting it which might help you, you could just skip through that and judge for yourself ►th-cam.com/video/YBjn7JWDlTw/w-d-xo.html Hope it helps.
My menu function does not work. I press the menu key a tone rings nothing happens....It's useless ...I emailed the seller . Hopefully they can replace it...I tried a hard factory reset with a negative result... Finally worked it out .... Dissregard. ThX 4yr expert instructions. Very useful & helpful. Yr a very good instructor ThX heaps kind regards Grant Bennett ³³³
You should send it back and get your money back if it doesn't work. £3, £30 or £300 it doesn't matter, if it is faulty then that is not good, get your money back.
I put a couple of layers of black tape over the speaker holes on the back to quieten it down. I can still hear it but it's not as loud and annoying as before.
Mine records funny? I set it to record in one (2, or 3) minute, and I end of up with half of video & audio and the rest of the video is just audio. And it does this for every sections of recording, wither you set it to record 1,2, or 3 minutes. And the audio is off also. Does any one know how to fix this issue?
Strange. Sounds like a software problem, I've no idea how to fix it besides sending it back. You could try a different SD card if u have a spare just to eliminate that possibility. Or do the normal format card and factory reset etc, but doubt that will help.
Hi there. I set it up to record every 5 minutes however, it keeps starting a new video every minute. How can I fix that? Secondly, the back up camera I got is square. The manual shows exactly that one you show in the video. I dont like the square one. it keeps moving and point the sky instead the street. How can I fix that?
Hi, I don't know to be honest with you. The max recording length option on mine is 3 minutes, (1, 2 or 3) I don't even have 5 as an option on mine. Maybe you could try setting it to 3 minutes and see if it changes to 3 or stays at 1, as 3 would be better than 1 if you want longer clips, or another number. I had mine set at 1 minute for a while, it just means u have more files but records just fine. Or if that doesn't work maybe try doing a reset to default in the options, then put all your settings back in. Don't know if it will do anything just guessing at options for you to try. Also an idea,.. if you have a spare memory card try putting another card in to see if its the card (but don't buy one as again I'm just guessing ideas). Hmm, difficult to say about the rear cam without being able to see it, is the bracket like mine? or does it have screws and a joint in it too for adjusting it as I've seen on some in pictures? If it keeps moving something maybe be lose, or the sticky isn't sticky enough if its just stuck on with that. Is it inside or outside the car? Is it fastened on with screws or the sticky pad?
Hi. I don't know, I don't think mine is infrared, isn't the infrared one the one with the square rear camera? Anyway I had a look in my settings for you and the option that crossed or uncrossed the eye symbol on the screen was the 'Parking Guard' option at 8:42. Turning this on uncrosses the eye symbol in the display.. but I've no idea what it actually does as the coloured parking lines that show on the rear camera when in reverse still showed with it turned off or on, nor did it make any difference to the display. They should really include some basic instructions as to what these setting do as I've still no idea what some do. Someone told me the 'WDR' setting at 9:34 is the night vision enhancement but that also doesn't seem to do anything on mine, maybe it will on yours if you have the other type of rear camera with the 4 infrared lights. Hope it helps
If there's power going to it and it wont turn on then could be faulty mate. I'd suggest you contact the seller you bought it from and get a replacement or refund.
Press "OK" to manually start it recording. To make it automatically start recording when it turns on make sure the "Boot Video" option is ticked on in the settings. (It could be called something different in your settings)
@@LeesRandomVids Ah-ha! This is what I've been looking for. I didn't realize it was to automatically start recording, I thought it was to show the company logo on start up. Language barrier. Thanks!
Hi mate, the only thing I know of in the setting for the quality is the resolution option, make sure its set to the highest option (1080p). Also someone wrote in the comments that the WDR option in the settings is for night vision but it doesn't do anything on mine and nothing changes on mine when I turn it on. Not sure how bad your quality is, the camera in the dark isn't brilliant to be honest but maybe yours is worse for some reason. I made a sample video of mine while driving to show what the image quality is like if you want to compare it with mine. th-cam.com/video/G9-7_AorJyI/w-d-xo.html Night driving starts about 3 minutes 40 in if u want to compare it.
haha yea that was well lit roads mines about the same! but i guess i kinda like it ! i might get some brighter headlights it should be better! btw in that video was that the mic u were useing on the dash cam? it was pretty good if it is
Yeah it is. I made this video a few months back after having used it for a year (year and a quarter actually) if its any use to you. ►th-cam.com/video/Dv9ftl5aZ2U/w-d-xo.html
That's strange, it should stay on while ever there is power going to it. Check the settings to make sure there isnt some strange shutdown setting that's activated or something.
How do you mean? Keep the camera recording? or displayed on the screen? It starts recording when you switch it on and keeps recording till you switch it off, and the screen you can set in the settings.
hahaha its funny you should say that, I was in the car recording it today haha. But I've just watched it and need to record it again. Amazing coincidence.
Here you go, this clip shows you how to turn the screen off or set the screen to automatically turn off and keep recording: ►th-cam.com/video/qpukX0-W4oE/w-d-xo.html

Hi, do you have a link to the dash camera, for purchase.
this product we used for Uber driving. The rear view camera was mounted on the dash facing the passengers and was great to see interactions from the passengers and they like it If you do Uber or Lyft the rear view camera when mounted inside is good for driver security. I have seen the rear camera mounted also behind the second row seats to capture any illegal activities, We always tell the passengers about the camera to smile. Never any objections. they see is as safety on their own,
That's a really good idea, especially for the drivers security.
Also, I remember thinking when I installed mine that I wish I could fit a 3rd camera to it, or that it had a 2nd small camera built into the mirror facing inwards to record the interior, just for the off chance that someone broke into the car you'd possibly record their faces then.
Hi Lee - thanks for the video i just bought this device your video was very helpful elaborated and amazing thanks
Great video Lee, many thanks mate, greatly appreciated 👏
When part of an image is extremely dark but another part is so bright you can't see any details, that's dynamic range-the difference in lighting. Cameras with wide dynamic range (WDR) have special software that allows them to balance that lighting for one clear image.
Thanks mate. You're correct. 👍
Thanks a lot for this video. I was having trouble trying to install mine and your video answered the questions I was having problems with. very well done, thanks again.
Thanks mate, I'm glad they were some use to you. 👍😃
Is it worth it? Being that its probably the only option to buy where i am.
I just received this in the mail from temu it cost $20 so I feel like I should be happy with the purchase
im glad iv seen this mine came with no instructions thanks for explaing clearly
Thank you too, I'm glad it helped.
I have a similar one, but the rear camera does not work. I reset, I checked the cameras. the white LEDs light up when I reverse but it does not record and the rear camera does not appear
como se hace con los videos, se llena la memoria, o se va borrando el ultimo video y lo va reemplazando???
Really enjoyed your video's! Thank you. Just wondered if you can advice me on which dashcam installation kit to get? The ones I saw on Amazon all seem to be 5V output and I noticed that the dashcam said it works on 12V - does this mean that the universal ones won't work this dashcam properly? Appreciate any advice please!
Hi, thank you.
I'm not sure, I thought dash cams usually were 5V. Maybe it's just misleading wording and it's meaning it's made to be plugged into the cars 12V power socket as they all are, but the cam itself is 5V and the plug converts the 12V down to 5V. The plugs that come with dash cams do this.
Look on the back on the cam see if it says: Input: 5V or Input: 12V
Or google the model of your dash cam for the specs.
12V seems like a lot of power just for a dash cam.
Hello. I have installed this xamera on my car and it worked fine for some time but now it is operating very slowly, basically lagging be it in selecting the menu options or the camera it self. Any idea why this could happen and how to fix it?
change the memory card
@@zibafairchild6185 i dont have a memory card inserted.
Oh, if there is no memory card in then I have no idea. Maybe try setting it back to default in the options menu (it will also reset the language to chinese, so take note how to change it back before you do, or watch one of my other videos where i show how to change it back from chinese). On mine there is a little pin hole on the back which is a reset button that u need a pin to press, I assume that's to set it back to factory, I've never pressed it tho so press it at your own risk. It might wipe everything lol. That's as much as I can think of to try.
@@LeesRandomVids thanks a lot. I already did that as well but no luck :( very strange why it behaves like that...
You have the internal memory full which is 1024mb you need to turn of recordings or insert a memory card to fix this
Thanks for the vid. Helped me a lot. After seeing your 1 year later... review I bought this mirror and got it a few days ago but I have some issues. Biggest problem is that it stops recording after a while for no reason. Sometimes it records 10 clips a one minute and then it stops recording. I restart manaually. Then it may continue recording 2, 5, or 10 clips - but it always quits recording after a while. Secondly: sometimes clips get only a few seconds long (1 or 5 or 20) althogh one minute is set as length. More weird: the clips do have same filesize as one minute clips. Strange. Thirdly. You said, starting and closing sound was annoying. But you didn't hear mine. Yours sounds like a piece of 'music'. Mine sounds as a cat would have been killed. Fourthly: sound recording quality is quite good as long as it is quiet. As soon as it is a bit louder audio switches immediately into distorted noise.
I can live with 4, 3 and even 2. But the first point is unacceptable. I will send it back and buy a new one. Hope I just had a "monday device".
Does anyone have similar issues?
HI, thank you, I'm glad it helped you!
Yes I agree the first point is unacceptable.. its the fundamental function of it, it must stay recording so yes I would say send it back. Just one thing u could try.. have you tried changing the memory card for another, if you have a spare to try, just to eliminate it being a faulty memory card causing the issue and save you the hassle of returning it. Tho to be honest id guess it was more likely the recorder at fault.
Yeah all the files sizes on mine are always the same size too, whether they're 1 minute or 5 seconds long they all make the same file size as a 1 minute clip (if its set to one minute clip length). I'm guessing now that it's for the cyclic recording to function, like when the card is full and it comes to overwrite the oldest file there is enough file space if it was to delete a 5 second clip to record a 1 minute clip in its place.
Yeah at least mine is music haha, it was just really really loud.
LeesRandomVids you're right, I should test another sd-card. It's brandnew, samsung, bought for this mirror. Well, I had ordered the new mirror yet and we'll see. :D
In the meantime I had some time to do an advanced testing today (1.5 hour trip). First thing I realized at home: THIS CAM IS NOT 'FULL HD 1080' as promised - it's just HD720. Plz check out your videos, it's not full HD. The colors are fine but the picture is very noisy what you can see best, if the car stands still for a while. I still have the issue with broken recordings. Question: if a clip is only 20 secs long, does your mirror continue recording immediately without gap? As already told I have lots of gaps, from a few secs to many minutes but I hope the new mirror will do its job better. Greetings from Germany to England.
Just wanted to add two things: 1. The new mirror that I got yesterday does NOT have this issue with interrupted recordings. I did a 30' test driving and it recorded without any gap. Yeah! I compared the software versions - they're the same so the first mirror definetely had a bug. I assume at this low price there's no QC at all. QC is customer so to say. 2. I wrote, the mirror was just recording 720p. That was not correct. I'm a fool. You can decide whether you get 720p or 1080p. I think there's a difference in picture quality; the new mirror seems less noisy in picture. But now I have strong banding effects (bad color solution like in gifs e.g.). Well I can live with it. Now as the cam is recording continously it's worth its price (35 Euro). I'm happy with it. Greetings.
Hi mate, yeah I had a feeling the fault was with your mirror not the card, but it was something just to try to try and save you the hassle of a return, anyway I'm glad you got it sorted. And obviously the 720p max image quality was another fault with yours. You are correct tho, it is 1080p however its definitely not HD quality.
Yeah we have to take into account the price, its very cheap, we get what we pay for, I doubt theres little QC if any as you say, but even then it needs to be in working order or its useless. Its low quality but it works, its there to record any incidents we hopefully never have.
I made a sample footage video of mine to show the quality it records if its any use to you.
►th-cam.com/video/G9-7_AorJyI/w-d-xo.html
I said in that that is wasnt high quality but good enough to record any incidents.
Anyway I'm glad you got it sorted mate and hope you never have to use it!
PS I've been around the south of Germany and it was beautiful! :D
Is there an option where its just plain mirror but it is still recording? I don't need to see the rear and front video all the time. All I need is the mirror and that it is still recording. I have poor eyesight specially at night. Thank you
Hello I just installed but the rear camera doesn’t display on the unit but it does flash white lights in the back of camera , any suggestions ?
I have one of these, however when I go to review the recorded footage on my computer, the video comes across really choppy. After looking closely at all of the settings, it says the video is recording in 274,000+ KBPS rather than MBPS. Would that have anything to do with it? I've tried changing all the settings on the device and it still results in the same outcome.
we have enjoyed, well worth its money
I'm glad it was useful to you.
How you dim the screen, you did it so fast! it's very annoying to drive withe screen on while driving, specially at night. Please show or tell me how to dim the screen while the camera it's on. Thanks for the video!
Yeah it is. You can press OK to turn the screen off manually but it's better to set the screen to turn off automatically, you do this in the options under LCD Brightness on mine, and can set it to turn off after 10, 20 or 30 seconds.
I show how to do it in the very beginning of this video: ►th-cam.com/video/qpukX0-W4oE/w-d-xo.html
Hope it helps! :)
Mine says exposure and gravity in the settings! How do I get a clearer picture off the front camera at night?
have Blackbox dvr dash camera when I installed in my car , first it worked well but after few months of usage, Back camera is not getting displayed on screen during reverse, while Front camera is working well and recording. I will be thankful. I tried with different display unit and the reverse camera is displaying in that device. Can any body help what wrong is with Back camera and how to fix it. is it hardware issue? or software issue? (firmware)
I don't know mate but the first thing I would do is check all the wiring to make sure nothing has come loose with the rattles of driving, or been trapped.
Did it work for some time? I'm afraid to buy it and it doesn't work enough time.
Yeah mate, mine is still in my car working to this day. So that's like 3 1/2 years and counting.
I have the same after some recording it came errors and i have to format sd.. when i trying to see whats on sd dont show any video recored but on dash cam can play any video only on computer doesn't show any video.. any help with that?
Just found out what VIDEO BOOT is if you uncheck it the camera does not start recording automatically when you turn on your ignition.
Least that is what it does on mine
Yeah you are correct! It's the same on mine too. Thanks for the info mate!
Thanks for that its quiet annoying that it starts recording straight away
See I think it's a good thing. It means it starts recording automatically when you turn the car on, if you disable it it means you have to remember to manually start it recording every time you start the car, and if you forget then it's not recording. But yeah, if you prefer it not to start recording automatically turn off the "Boot Video" option.
Im actually from the UK but live in Indonesia..i just paid 475 thousand Rupiah for mine thats £25.78 not bad eh !
Cheap as chips arnt they! And mine is still working 2 1/2 years later! So yeah, not bad at all mate.
boot video option is probably what you are looking for to turn off that startup video with the car.
Boot video starts it recording on power up. If unchecked it doesn't start recording automatically. 👍
@@LeesRandomVids Did you ever manage to turn off the annoying start up jingle. Just purchased a similar one and it's very annoying.😁
I just got it today but is the ANNJIATUU Dash Cam 1080P H. Very similar setting but I noticed that the front camera that is showing on the right hand side of the back mirror is too big, i can't look at mirror full view of what is happening behind, is there anyway to make that screen smaller? Or is there anyway to let it off and just show a small portion of the back camera? Thanks
Hi, good review, the camera is watherproof???
Thank you! Yes, they say the small rear cam is water proof and made to be fitted on the outside of the car or inside. I fitted mine inside so I have not tested it outiside.
How do i contact the seller, They sent me one with the screen on the left side not the right, plus my my SD Mini card will work

Thank you, Lee
The one thing I detest about Chinese electronic gadgets (which 99% of them now are) is that not only they default back to the Chinese language but also to their time zone, you could easily be recording in black and white (night vision mode) in a broad daylight, I have another Camera at home, every time it reboots it reverts to Honk Kong's time zone and it is very frustrating.
Maybe the internal battery is dead so it's not remembering the settings and reverting back to factory. It shouldn't reset every time you turn it off. Sadly I don't think there is an easy way to replace the battery as it's not a standard battery (I think).
Hello, I just installed this camera but after that, it worked for 5 min. and It stoped...I tried with the reset button but nothing...It looks like there's not power in it, I don't know why it doesnt't open anymore. Any advice is appreciated.
I don't know, check all your wires, also check the fuses, maybe it has blown a fuse.
I have just purchased this, it seems to be that unless the inbuilt battery is a certain percentage, the rear camera won't appear on the screen? Is that correct?
Yes, I am like you. What is the solution?
Hi Lee in the top right corner on the mirror there is a battery shaped icon it keeps flashing and it's red how do i stop this thanks in advance.
Mine keeps crashing all the time. Says short press the reset on the back but it’s still happening Any other ideas?.
No idea mate, other than removing the memory card to to eliminate the possibility of the card being faulty. If it works with the card out then it could be the card. Doubt it tho, but that's all I could think of to try.
Hi awesome vid how long will a 32gb memory card lasr until its full thanks
Hi, Thank you. I have a 16gb card in mine and I get roughly about 1 1/2 hours I think so I'm assuming about 3 hours for a 32gb card. Thats with recording both front and rear cameras.
why is there a 12v supply to the rear view camera ?
just read your discription its to use as a reversing camera
yes
My one's brightness is very low. It isn't properly visible during the daytime. Anyone got solutions for that?

How do I automatically turn it off? My one takes 30 seconds to turn off. I just need it while reversing. After reversing I have to wait 30 seconds for it to turn off automatically. Does anyone have a solution?
Does this unit record the rear camera as picture-in-picture like the display shows, or do the front and rear cameras record to separate files? Also, can the display be shut off so it simply records without the display showing the realtime video?
Separate files for front and rear and yes the screen turns off.
you were able to turn on the product without connecting the wires, how??? I just bought mine awhile ago and it wont turn on
It has an internal battery, there was a small amount of power in the battery.
Hi, thx for this review, I have the same, I have a couple of questions if You Pls. want to answear me, how to recharge the intern battery and did You ever tryed out to open the device up for replace battery ? if Yes how? , Thank You .
It charges the battery while ever there is power going to the unit, ie when you turn the car on. And no I've not tried opening mine yet but my battery is almost dead, someone else posted on one of my videos that they had opened theirs to change it but it's not some standard battery that's easily replaced tho
rear camera is not working. ALREADY checked that the pin is well placed
If it's faulty then get in touch with whoever you bought it from.
OK.. So I got one of these after checking footage I realised its not recording the front it's just giving me snap shots, the rear recording is fine.. What is the problem please?
Strange. I've no idea mate, if it's recording the rear it should be recording the front too.
@LeesRandomVids does it record both front and back at the same time?
Yes.
hi the mirror have has the italian language? the buttons are illuminated? thanks you
You're welcome
hi there.. i have a set of questions for you and i would really appreciate if you could ans them for me,
1) what is megapixel is the front and the rear camera?
2) how does the recording work like as in how many mins can the video record in the internal memory and once put in the sd card then how many mins does it record constantly?
3) does the recording create different thumbnails everytime the camera is one or just over writes the old file?
4) and when does the recording overwrite the old file?
Hi
1) I don't know the megapixel of the video, it just says 1080p for the front camera and 720 for the rear. In the settings for taking a photo (front only) the max resolution is 3 million so the video is unlikely to be any higher than that. I made a video showing some sample footing when driving if its any use to you to see the actual video quality in use: th-cam.com/video/G9-7_AorJyI/w-d-xo.html
2) It records individual video clips, either 1, 2 or 3 minutes long, you can set which you prefer in the settings (I have mine set to 3 minutes). It just continues recording like that, recording clip after clip. The next video clip starts where the previous clip ends, I show this in the sample video too about 5 and a half minutes in, to show you don't really miss anything between clips. You need a memory card, I don't think it has any internal memory. How much you can record depends what size memory card you use, mine came with a 16GB card but I think it can take up to 32GB. I've not investigated exactly how many minute it records before its full and starts over writing the oldest clips, however the files sizes of the clips seem to be about 100mb per 1 minute clip for the front and 60 for the rear camera so that would be 160MB per minute. So 1.6GB for 10 minutes and therefore 16GB would be about 100 minutes (these are rough estimates). So id guess the max would be over 3 hours with a 32GB card, but again dont hold me to that im just going on the file sizes of the clips I used to make my other video.
3) It just uses a frame from the video clip, so yeah each video will get a different thumbnail, a frame from the video.
4) It will over write the oldest files once the memory card is full and keep looping like that forever (It wont over write any protected files, ie files it locks if it detects an impact).
Hope it helps :)
Here's a question and answers video mate on this dash cam mirror after a year of use and I answer some of yours here:
►th-cam.com/video/qpukX0-W4oE/w-d-xo.htmlm15s
cool blackbox, i have too
👍😃
Mirror says Rear Camera Voltage Low.....Prompt. What do I do?
not sure, I've never had mine do that.
Mine only does a single snap shot from front camera and doesn't actually record.. Is this the same with yours?
No, mine records just fine. Make sure 'boot video' is ticked in the options, this option makes it auto start recording when it is turned on. Pressing the 'ok button' manually starts or stops it from recording. Hope it helps.
I got the same...but mine makes lot of noise in camera area...also if i connect it and i put in back camera it makes a differend noise very irritating.Dont know if this also with yours?Mine does not buzzing when starting up and i got other sound and picture,so maybe not the same but i got for sure same box......Maybe mine is cheaper version because i got only 2 options in beginning and you have 3 so....But the opions are the same! peace!
Dont know mate, there's obv more than one software version then, but the unit itself is identical to mine?
Yours all works fine apart from a buzzing noise from the camera area? In that case maybe its coming from the speaker? All those holes on the back above the camera are for the speaker. I placed a piece of black electrical tape over those holes on mine to reduce the volume of the music that plays every time it starts up (which I referred to as buzzing for some strange reason). Mine isnt faulty, I just didnt like the music that was so loud, the tape quietened it down quite a bit, but I can still hear it its just not really loud now. Maybe try doing something like that to block those holes and reduce the sound? Just an idea. Or take it off and cover the holes in the center too, maybe a couple of layers of tape so reduce the noise as much as possible. Sadly on mine there's no way of turning the volume down but maybe an idea for you, assuming it is the speaker making the sound. Mine was cheap too btw but so far still working tiptop.
yes the unit is the same....so from speakers?...oke and you cover it up with tape!?...oke i will do that to....so the holes are not there for cooling?..BTWay if i put in rear camera the sound is less but still there.First thing i thought of was the ground that was not good connected.But i will use some tape and hope for the best,yes mine was cheap to....but if it works ,fine by me...peace!
Well that's what id try if it was mine, and that's if it is actually the speaker making the noise, but that was my first thought as that's exactly where the speaker is. The holes above the camera yes are for the speaker, I've taped over those with no probs and it does decrease the volume somewhat, but not silent, try putting your finger over them first to see. The holes in the middle.. I don't know, tape over them at your own risk, I don't think it gets hot anyway but still, maybe try just taping over the speaker holes only and see what difference it makes. If its caused by a bad ground.. I've no idea on that one, I'm not an electrician. Hope the suggestion helps ya anyway. Cheers mate
for some reason whenever i plugged in my sd card and turned on the device, it keep saying format sd card. My sd is 64g and formatted. how do i resolve this issue?
The max card size it can use is 32gb, that's why mate. 64gb and up use a different format, that's why it keeps saying it needs formatting, but it can't as they use a different format. NTFS and FAT32 and all that.
Hi... What can i do... frontal camera pixelated one day after installation???.... thanks....
Check no wires are trapped or pinched, maybe test with a different memory card if you have a spare just to eliminate that possibility, make sure you have removed the plastic film from the camera lens, also check the setting that its set to the highest quality if it has the option.
If it's none of that is the problem then maybe the unit is faulty, in which case you should contact the people you purchased it from. Hope you get it sorted.
I'm having trouble finding the correct size of memory card for this mirror camera thing. Any tiny SD card that I have is too wide. I went to best buy and they even said that it was a weird size that they haven't seen before.
I don't know why, they take a standard micro SD card up to 32gb. Maybe check that the opening hasn't been moulded incorrectly during manufacture.
Can you record without the tf card? Mine didn't come with one. Instructions sooo small I can't see if it has some internal storage
I've seen this question get asked on 4dif videos like this & they never answer😂 good greif!!
Hiya, is the camera lens adjustable, ie the angle of it or is it fixed? cheers mate.
Yes, just tilt to your desired angle
Yes mate, it tilts up down left right a bit, also rotates a bit too so u can level it. I had to angle mine as far right as possible to make it point forward down the road, it just about goes far enough, slightly to the left but nothing noticeable.
Here's some sample video I posted after id fitted it: th-cam.com/video/G9-7_AorJyI/w-d-xo.html
Hope it helps :)
@@LeesRandomVids Many thanks for that mate.
You're welcome, happy to help if I can :D
Pls does it record front and back camera?
How to set a in a full screen mode did not find in the settings. Thanks
You mean to fill the entire mirror? You can't. That's the screen size.
Thanks for the great info!
Thanks mate, im glad it helped! Bit of extra info for you since using it: the blue tint of the mirror screen I mentioned in the video isnt a problem at all, works fine as a mirror. At night when the screen is displayed your eyes tend to focus on the camera screen more easily than the mirror but I have the screen to switch off after 30 seconds then the mirror works good as a normal one. Also the short music when it first switches on, I put a piece of black electrical tape on the back over the speaker holes and its way quieter now and I don’t notice it much anymore, not really a problem, just something I didn’t like.Cheers mate
My DVR is slightly different, the display is the same but the menus are quite a bit different... anyway the only thing i dislike is the reflection of headlights in the mirror...there seems to be a double reflection. But other than that it works great and I'm satisfied knowing that I have it in my automobile.
www.ebay.com/itm/122370774931?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Yeah mine felt a bit weird like that at first too but I've gotten use to it now. At night if someone had their lights on too high behind me the mirror would look blue but where the (turned off) screen is that part would be a brown square, not much, but a slight different shade of colour which would make my eye focus on that rather than the reflection, and yeah seemed a bit double-ish vision. It doesnt seem as distracting now tho, must have got use to it. Something I can live with anyway.
Yeah agreed, its good knowing u have it of someone knocks u and tries blaming you huh.
LeesRandomVids I sub to you cheers thank you kindly great information..most helpful
How you keep the camera on the road when driving
Whats the trouble if not recognize or not read the micro SD card?
Try putting the memory card into something else to see if the memory card works, or try putting a different memory card in the mirror, just to eliminate it being a fault of the memory card.
I have Blackbox dvr (Full HD 1080 ) dash dualcamera (Back and front ) for recording front and back views while driving.This Blackbox dvr is also helpful in reversing the car showing the back view. This Blackbox dvr is also used as mirror and is attached to the mirror of the vehicle. when I installed it in my car , first both front and back cameras worked well but after 02 days Back camera is not getting on during reverse and is not displaying on the screen while Front camera is working well and recording. I also made the settings of dvr default and reset it by putting a thin plastic needle in the small hole on it's back but nothing worked. There is no display of back camera on the screen nor dvr turns off when it is plugged br its car charger. Can you please help me out that what is wrong with Back camera and how can I fix it. I will be thankful.
I don't know mate, but the first thing I would suggest is to check all the wires. Make sure the connections are ok and check the full length of the wire to the back camera to the front and check it's not trapped or has been cut or damaged somehow.
Hello my display is not oning how to fix
6:39
That one is actually for LHD like the one sent to me,
I've only ever seen this model for sale. I think they're for both but the primary design is for left hand drive but can also fit right hand drive too, the camera in the back can be angled for either, but fits better on LHD. That's my guess anyway.
Will this over write older video when full?
Yes, it over writes the oldest files first and keeps on looping like that.
It wont ever overwrite protected files tho, you need to format the card to erase those. The card can eventually fill up of these if it detects impacts from speed bumps or potholes etc.
@@LeesRandomVids sir how to lock or protect a particular recorded clip from deleting while loop record is on
Can you tell anything about the capacity of the built in battery?
I don't know what the capacity is, but very little. It said when it was knew that should give up to 30 minutes on a full charge, mine never did 30 minutes, maybe 20 at the most. Now the battery last about 5 seconds, it's just about dead.
I just bought a two-camera mirror just like the above video, plug in the car but there is a memory card, one day and then die does not work, what causes damage.
err I don't know my friend.
How to change battery? Mine settings does not appear. Date does not update. Please help
I don't know if you can change the battery, there's no battery cover on mine so you would need to take it apart, if that's even possible.
i want to ask u if the rear camera can record video on SD card while u driving ?
Yes, the mirror records both the front and the rear camera files.
Here is some sample video from mine: th-cam.com/video/G9-7_AorJyI/w-d-xo.html
Hi Gents. Did any of you manage to get rid of the annoying start up jingle. I've just purchased a similar one and it's bloody annoying 😁
Does it have to be plugged in first before i can see the rear camera? Im trying to see if the rear camera works but i have no luck. Hoping someone will help asap. Thanks!
When you say plugged in, do you mean the power cable or the rear camera?
Obviously yes the rear camera must be plugged into the dash cam for it to work. The dash camera has a built in battery but I think it should work the rear camera running on battery, however if its not displaying the rear camera whilst running on battery then go to your car and plug it into the cigarette lighter and power it from there before fitting it to test if it works (you can also power it from a computer via a usb cable like I did in the video). Hope it helps
LeesRandomVids tried plugging it to the cigarette lighter and it worked. Thanks man!
Nice one!! and you're welcome, I'm glad it helped! :D
I bought mine but there is no back camera included :(
Yeah you can buy them with or without the rear camera, one of the main reasons I bought this camera was it had a rear camera too.
Mine didn't have a backup camera either was suppose to and no Micro SD Card or instructions thank you for the video.
Nice
👍
5:17 I plugged the rear camera too in the input but there was no secondary display.
It could be that its set to only display the front camera, you can select which camera it displays by pressing the left arrow button. You can choose to display front only, rear only, front with rear top left or rear with front top left.
I recorded a 1 year on review of it the other day which shows this all better, I just need to stop being lazy and get it finished.
Also, If pressing the left button still doesn't work then check that its recording from the rear camera by trying to play back the recording either on the unit or with the SD card in the computer. If its not recording anything from the rear then there could be a fault with it.
It won't show the rear camera unless it has power from the rear reversing lights
How long is the cord of the rear view camera. Is the cord enough if I placed it at the back of the suv (ford everest)
Ahh sorry mate I wish I could give you an actual length but I don't have one, its been installed in my car over a year and a half now and I cant remember exactly what it was. What I can tell you is that there was plenty of length left over when I installed mine that I coiled up and hid, and I went on quite a detour at the back, down from the roof, into the boot (trunk) back up under the light cluster and into the boot lid itself. Tho mine is a smaller car than the Ford Everest, I've not had anyone mention the cord being too short in the comments.
I made a video fitting it which might help you, you could just skip through that and judge for yourself ►th-cam.com/video/YBjn7JWDlTw/w-d-xo.html
Hope it helps.
I have a four door Toyota pick-up and it reached the back screen with at least a yard to spare so it should be OK for the Everest.
My menu function does not work. I press the menu key a tone rings nothing happens....It's useless ...I emailed the seller . Hopefully they can replace it...I tried a hard factory reset with a negative result... Finally worked it out .... Dissregard. ThX 4yr expert instructions. Very useful & helpful. Yr a very good instructor ThX heaps kind regards Grant Bennett ³³³
Yes definitely get back to the seller for a replacement as that doesn't sound right.

Thank you."Lee's " I'll let you know how it goes
Very dissapointing..
hey dude.30 pound is a lot of money for that cheapest stuff buddy.it doesn't deserve it at all.mine doesn't even work a month.

You should send it back and get your money back if it doesn't work. £3, £30 or £300 it doesn't matter, if it is faulty then that is not good, get your money back.
What is the price?
Can you remove that horrible sound when its starts up?
no
I put a couple of layers of black tape over the speaker holes on the back to quieten it down. I can still hear it but it's not as loud and annoying as before.
does all these mirrors have auto dimmer?
No mate, I dont believe they do, they are a little dimmer than the normal silver ones tho, they have a blue tint to them
Please I have a problem The mirror is very hot The sd card also gets hot Please I follow you from Europe Do you know what is the cause of the heat?
Sorry, I have no idea, is it just because of the hot sun?
Mine records funny? I set it to record in one (2, or 3) minute, and I end of up with half of video & audio and the rest of the video is just audio. And it does this for every sections of recording, wither you set it to record 1,2, or 3 minutes. And the audio is off also. Does any one know how to fix this issue?
Strange. Sounds like a software problem, I've no idea how to fix it besides sending it back. You could try a different SD card if u have a spare just to eliminate that possibility. Or do the normal format card and factory reset etc, but doubt that will help.
I have tried all the settings and tried different memory cards and it still only records half the time its supposed too.
Not come with SIM card??
SD card yes, mine did. SIM card, no, it doesn't take SIM cards.
Hi there. I set it up to record every 5 minutes however, it keeps starting a new video every minute. How can I fix that?
Secondly, the back up camera I got is square. The manual shows exactly that one you show in the video. I dont like the square one. it keeps moving and point the sky instead the street. How can I fix that?
Hi, I don't know to be honest with you. The max recording length option on mine is 3 minutes, (1, 2 or 3) I don't even have 5 as an option on mine. Maybe you could try setting it to 3 minutes and see if it changes to 3 or stays at 1, as 3 would be better than 1 if you want longer clips, or another number. I had mine set at 1 minute for a while, it just means u have more files but records just fine. Or if that doesn't work maybe try doing a reset to default in the options, then put all your settings back in. Don't know if it will do anything just guessing at options for you to try. Also an idea,.. if you have a spare memory card try putting another card in to see if its the card (but don't buy one as again I'm just guessing ideas).
Hmm, difficult to say about the rear cam without being able to see it, is the bracket like mine? or does it have screws and a joint in it too for adjusting it as I've seen on some in pictures? If it keeps moving something maybe be lose, or the sticky isn't sticky enough if its just stuck on with that. Is it inside or outside the car? Is it fastened on with screws or the sticky pad?

Hi there! How to activate the infrared (uncrossing the eye symbol in the display)?
I want to know how to activate the night vision...
Hi. I don't know, I don't think mine is infrared, isn't the infrared one the one with the square rear camera?
Anyway I had a look in my settings for you and the option that crossed or uncrossed the eye symbol on the screen was the 'Parking Guard' option at 8:42. Turning this on uncrosses the eye symbol in the display.. but I've no idea what it actually does as the coloured parking lines that show on the rear camera when in reverse still showed with it turned off or on, nor did it make any difference to the display. They should really include some basic instructions as to what these setting do as I've still no idea what some do.
Someone told me the 'WDR' setting at 9:34 is the night vision enhancement but that also doesn't seem to do anything on mine, maybe it will on yours if you have the other type of rear camera with the 4 infrared lights.
Hope it helps

hello,is this waterproof?
i put mine outside the car
Yes, It says the small rear camera is waterproof and can go on the outside of the car, although I have not tested it as I put mine on the inside.
I bought it for £12 - free delivery plus I bought 32gb card for £5
Bargain!!!!!
My camera is saing ...auto space . ...what that means?
Why does the camera keep buffering ?
I don't know mate, only thing I can think to try is to try a different memory card, maybe the card is too slow.
You need High speed TF card SDHC compatible
C4 or C6 logo 16gig is enough
High speed TF card SDHC compatible
C4 or C6 logo
mine is not powering on even if i plug it? pls help..thanks
If there's power going to it and it wont turn on then could be faulty mate. I'd suggest you contact the seller you bought it from and get a replacement or refund.
how to record start?
Press "OK" to manually start it recording. To make it automatically start recording when it turns on make sure the "Boot Video" option is ticked on in the settings. (It could be called something different in your settings)
@@LeesRandomVids Ah-ha! This is what I've been looking for. I didn't realize it was to automatically start recording, I thought it was to show the company logo on start up. Language barrier. Thanks!
Hey man I have this at night time this camera is horrific is so blurry how do I fix this
Hi mate, the only thing I know of in the setting for the quality is the resolution option, make sure its set to the highest option (1080p). Also someone wrote in the comments that the WDR option in the settings is for night vision but it doesn't do anything on mine and nothing changes on mine when I turn it on.
Not sure how bad your quality is, the camera in the dark isn't brilliant to be honest but maybe yours is worse for some reason. I made a sample video of mine while driving to show what the image quality is like if you want to compare it with mine.
th-cam.com/video/G9-7_AorJyI/w-d-xo.html
Night driving starts about 3 minutes 40 in if u want to compare it.
haha yea that was well lit roads mines about the same! but i guess i kinda like it ! i might get some brighter headlights it should be better! btw in that video was that the mic u were useing on the dash cam? it was pretty good if it is
yeah i dont have WDR option in mine! it says exposure -3 all the way to +3
No mate it was recorded on the computer after I added a few different videos together that were on the memory card.
How do you adjust the reverse guides on this model?
I think they're just fixed on the image, no way of adjusting them without actually moving the camera up or down.
Real neat
Yeah they're a good idea. :)
How do I move the picture from left right
I'm not 100% sure what youre asking but if you mean the direction on the camera.. it moves in the back of the mirror, you move it manually.
still working???
Yeah it is. I made this video a few months back after having used it for a year (year and a quarter actually) if its any use to you.
►th-cam.com/video/Dv9ftl5aZ2U/w-d-xo.html
With mine. It turns off after like 10min so it's abit sad.
That's strange, it should stay on while ever there is power going to it. Check the settings to make sure there isnt some strange shutdown setting that's activated or something.
How to do you search for a specific video

How do you keep your camera on when driving
How do you mean? Keep the camera recording? or displayed on the screen?
It starts recording when you switch it on and keeps recording till you switch it off, and the screen you can set in the settings.
What happen to the half side for the rear view?
hahaha its funny you should say that, I was in the car recording it today haha.
But I've just watched it and need to record it again.
Amazing coincidence.
where you connecr the red wire in back cam?
Red wire goes into the reverse light circuit so it switches the display when you reverse.You dont need to install it if you dont want to.
can i direct it to positive of car battery and make another switch?
Cant it still record without the video actually being shown in the mirrow?
Yes, you can set it to automatically turn off after 10, 20 or 30 seconds or short press the power button.
ok thanks
Here you go, this clip shows you how to turn the screen off or set the screen to automatically turn off and keep recording:

Why my rear cam can not record?
Bajando la calidad dura un poco mas pero no veo las dos cámaras por separadas y no graba circularmente
