As I understand, this is not whole mirror, but only replacement of existing mirror bracket / mount part to new one which has built in DVR.
 
all that effort for 720p

For me same reaction ... so much effort, good idea, design, functions, but why 720p ? It looks like Korean trend of 720p will last long time.
Still I dont get this: Koreans are leaders producing high quality built dash cams, but majority of manufacturers still pushing their 720p in end of 2013 ?!!
 
It could be a light issue since the higher resolution sensor requires a greater amount of light to give the clarity most people expect. In most cases a 720p image is more than adequate.
 
It also could be a limitation of optics in M12 format with their low lines per inch rating. Or the proverbial hardware thermal issues of the TI platform forcing to choke the bitrate.

... who knows :confused:
