Hi, I'm looking for a dash cam with display built in a reverse mirror, that would serve as both a dash cam and reverse camera. There's a plethora of products available and I would like to get some guidance from real users rather than super-positive online reviews Can you help me with some questions?
1 - Some cameras have a display that takes over the whole surface of their reverse mirror, e.g. 10". Do I understand correctly that in such cases I basically get no physical rearview mirror, only the image from reverse camera? I don't think that's a good idea, the camera might get dirty.
2 - In the devices that have a small screen (4-5") built into a part of the reverse mirror, is it possible to switch the part that's actual mirror into night mode, just like regular mirrors?
3 - As above, is the display turning itself off when not in use, and back on when reverse gear is engaged? I wouldn't like to have a screen pouring light into my eyes all the time
4 - In general, is it a good idea?
