From left to right – USB-C power port, audio-visual input for the rear camera, micro SD card port, and GPS input port. The display screen is easy to read under any conditions. It has a glare-resistant finish that prevents your image from being obscured by sun glare or someone’s headlights. In addition, the finish is also laminated. This means that there’s no air gap between the touchscreen glass and the substrate. With an air gap, the spot you touch isn’t always the spot that registers. Moreover, an air gap can also cause additional glare. With a laminated screen, you avoid both of these issues. For the comfort dash, I routed the cable just under the passenger side footwell cover which is very easy to remove. Went up the A piller from there. I removed the ceiling panels to access the main rear wire bundle which runs down the passenger side and ran the rear camera cable alongside this. The hardest part of the install is getting the rear light cable through the rubber tailgate cable access. A long wire feed rod was very helpful. I then drilled a small hole in the top of the inside of the tailgate to pull the cable through. Again the wire feed rod was invaluable here. Whether you’re a Sunday driver or a dedicated off-roader, you won’t have any issues with weatherproofing.

Coming to the video quality, the M2’s 1440p resolution and HDR support ensure that you will be able to see recorded footage in all its glory. The video quality is crisp, with important details like license plate numbers superbly visible. Garmin also offer a battery wireless camera which can be attached to the top of a license plate, the Garmin BC40, but the BC35 comes with a good length power cable (15ft/4.5m) but a slightly random selection of other cables with the fuse flimsily mounted in the lead.

Where the devices differ is in the design department. In the case of mirror dash cams, you may have to replace the factory-fitted rearview mirror of your car. Or, you may have to strap the new dash cam on top of your car’s rearview mirror. The Auto-Vox V5 is already a great reversing & dash cam, but this ‘Pro’ option is designed to be fitted directly to a car’s fuse box so it really blends into the driving experience. 1080P video might not be the highest resolution available, but the Sony sensors capture good footage which is more than adequate for insurance evaluation. Assuming you supply the maximum 64GB SD card, that’ll record up to 72 hours, automatically recorded on a loop overwriting the older footage, and adding GPS geodata as it goes.

My lighter plug is only powered when my vehicle is on. I turned it on and the mirror fired right up. It starts recording automatically by default, which is great. If you touch the screen, the controls show up. In the 2nd pic you can see a plug still connected. That's for the rain sensor. The wire dangling down is the plug for the mirror sensor which is for auto dip main beam I believe which I could live without or maybe I could retrofit to the V5 pro? Not sure. Fortunately, this isn't the case. The finish of the display is mirrored, so it functions as a rear-view mirror when the car is off. This has the slightly unfortunate side effect of making it difficult to photograph, but fortunately, when you're actually using it, the display is easy to see.The rear camera comes with a sweet bonus feature. It sports blue light resistant glass, as well as a top-quality Sony sensor. Under daytime conditions, you won’t really notice a difference. However, if the person behind you is using bright blue halogen headlights or high beams, you’ll still see just fine. Even if you get rear-ended at night, you’ll be able to read the other person’s license plate. Do note that this Auto-Vox dash cam doesn’t come with an SD card and you will have to source one on your own. And while you do so, do remember to get a durable weather-resistant card. For the record, the V5 Pro supports up to 64GB microSD cards. All said and done, the Auto-Vox V5 Pro is among the best rear view mirror dash cams you can buy right now. Keep a Watchful Eye on the Road More notably, the picture quality is on the sharper side, thanks to the 4K resolution. You will be able to make out minor details in regular dashcam video feeds. However, the night vision leaves a lot to be desired. That said, the daytime video feed has been lauded by the camera’s user base. Useful for many are Yada’s fitting assistance efforts, including videos, a toll-free helpline (in the USA), and their catalog of professional installers, so fitting shouldn’t be a chore, and the system is 12 or 24V compatible and, once fitted, is triggered automatically by reverse gear. These are the benefits of an established brand and model (the downside is newer designs have higher resolution, but this has all the important features). I went for an easier install for the rear camera, keeping it inside the vehicle but it works really well there and still has great field of view. Also I didn't connect it up to the rear light cluster. Its just a 2 finger swipe on the screen to activate it.

The mirror records clips of 1, 3, or 5 minutes in a loop, up to the capacity of the card. Once full, it will begin overwriting starting with the oldest clip. One really nice feature is how the files are stored. All front videos are stored in a folder called “F” and rear videos in a folder called “R”. Both front and read clips start simultaneously and have sequential names like FILE200809-214241-000035F.MOV. The name contains the date (minus the century “20” of “2020”) and time of the recording (in military time), a sequence number, and “F” or “R”, depending on which camera took the video. If you choose the same sequence numbers from both cameras, you can combine them into one video with your own editing software. The camera is attached to a sliding mount, allowing you to extend the camera to the right to get past any potential visual obstacles. The Vantrue M2 works on the same principle as the WOLFBOX G840S dash cam. For one, the mirror will double up as a touchscreen when needed. Secondly, it acts as a reverse camera when you engage the reverse gear. And it doesn’t end there. The touchscreen also displays guidelines to help you reverse with ease. No Glare, Crystal Image: V5pro rear view mirror camera utilizes the full laminated screen to ensure a crystal image without glare even under intense sunlight. The IMX307 sensor help to restrain the high beam lights to avoid the dazzling situation. A good performance for driving safety day and night. This is very often above the license plate, with a camera designed to fit into the plate mount. The alternatives are a universal mount that can be placed anywhere (perhaps even inside the rear window) or perhaps a brand-specific design.That said, the WOLFBOX G840S comes with a healthy mix of features including Parking Assist, GPS, G-Sensor, and Loop Recording. In fact, the G840S mirror dash cam comes with a 32GB TF card, which is great.
