Everyone has a rearview mirror in their car because it allows the driver to see the traffic behind them clearly and thus make better decisions while driving. We’re all taught to use it to check traffic when changing lanes, parking, and so on. It is so important that all automobiles come standard with a rearview mirror. Traditional rearview mirrors, on the other hand, are limited in function and have four major flaws that a digital rearview mirror can address.

Extreme Weather

First,Traditional rearview mirrors rely heavily on clean windows to provide an optimally clear rear view of the vehicle. Having said that, if the weather outside the car becomes severe, there is nothing the driver can do to improve the clarity of their views behind the wheel. Rain or snow can easily accumulate on the rear window, obstructing visibility in the rearview mirror. Fortunately, because the camera is located outside the car rather than inside, the digital rearview mirror works in all weather conditions. Because of the digital aspect, the camera can even see through fog. In any weather, the digital rearview mirror displays clear real-time footage of rear traffic. The weatherproof rear camera captures clear video in all weather conditions.

Highlight in the Rear

The second flaw occurs at night, when the traditional rearview mirror reflects the driver’s eyes with blinding lights from the headlights of cars behind them. When the vehicles in front have their high beam lights or headlights constantly shining and reflecting back at the driver through the rearview mirror, it is extremely dangerous. It is not only distracting, but it can also impair the driver’s vision. In this case, the standard rearview mirror lacks an auto-dimming feature to protect the driver’s eyes. In contrast, no matter how bright the vehicle lights behind are, the image sensor of the digital rearview mirror will automatically filter out the strong light and ensure the best view of the traffic behind.

Blocked Vision

Thirdly, the standard rearview mirror only reflects objects in the rear. When the cargo area is packed with luggage or a tall passenger is in the backseat, the driver’s line of sight can easily be obstructed due to the limited vision. On the contrary, because it reflects the view from outside the car, the digital rearview mirror can handle these situations with ease. With the rear camera installed in the back of the car, nothing will block the digital rearview mirror’s vision to the outside world, providing the driver with a wider and clearer view of the traffic conditions behind.

Blind Spots

Fourth, the traditional rearview mirror has a larger area of blindspots, which goes hand in hand with the restricted view weakness. Fortunately, a digital rearview mirror can significantly reduce the amount of blindspots while driving. Because it is placed above the license plate, digital rearview mirrors have at least a 100° field of vision and have the added benefit of capturing the lower area behind the car. The view is much lower than a traditional rearview mirror, allowing the driver to see exactly where the car is backing into. Not to mention, with a simple swipe of the screen, the digital rearview mirror can be adjusted to view higher or lower, left or right. It’s never been easier to get a better look behind the wheel.

Last but not least, the digital rearview mirror not only improves the driver’s field of vision but also retains all of the features of a dashboard camera. When a collision is detected, the digital rearview mirror’s G-sensor will automatically lock and protect footages, similar to a dash camera. When the vehicle is parked, the parking mode and motion detection will protect it by automatically recording when motion is detected. While driving, the digital rearview mirror’s dual cameras will record footage of both front and rear traffic, providing the driver with a video record in the event of an accident.

Recording your journeys with an in-car camera is an excellent way to gain some peace of mind while driving. The best dash cams are now easy to use, feature-rich, and provide excellent video quality. Mirror dash cams, a clever variation on the theme, may have also piqued your interest.

These are accessories that, like traditional third-party dash cams, you can install yourself, but they replace your regular rear-view mirror. Rather, they are typically installed directly on top of your existing one. The mirror dash cam not only provides an unobstructed view of what’s behind you, but it also has a built-in camera for recording forward-facing trips.

What are the advantages of using a rear-view mirror dash cam?

Rear-view Mirror dash cams have a few advantages over standard dash cams, despite being more niche and complex. They are especially suitable for vehicles with poor (or no) rear visibility because they come standard with a rear camera.

They can also be a more minimalist solution than standard dash cams because they usually mount to your rear-view mirror. Dash cams are almost always mounted to your windshield, usually around the rearview mirror or lower down between the screen and the dash.

rear-view mirror dash cam with backup camera, on the other hand, frequently clip onto your existing rearview mirror. All of the recording technology is housed within the rear-view mirror molding, which means less bulk and fewer dangling cables.

Not only does the mirror dash cam allow for onboard recording while driving, but most models also provide a recorded view of the road behind you as well as acting as a surveillance camera.

A rear-view mirror dash cam with backup camera, on the other hand, has fewer mounting options because it must be attached to your existing rear-view mirror. Installation is typically more difficult because you must wire the rear camera all the way from your trunk to the main unit in the front.

Still, the way a dash cam mirror is attached to the existing rearview mirror should mean it moves less in transit. Some regular dash cams can be problematic in this regard, as they frequently shake loose over time.

Most dash cam mirrors are attached to your mirror with bands or clips, which is a much more secure way to secure your unit than, say, suction brackets that come with windshield-mounted models.
