More than I can review. ;)
Thank you @GearBest for providing HYUNDAI H92 Android dashcam for review.
It's available at Gearbest here:
HYUNDAI H100 Ambarella A7LA50 1296P 175 Degree 4.3 inch Rear View Mirror Car DVR Dashcam
It's my 1st rear view mirror dashcam so let's see how it works out.
**************************************************
Conclusion: Overall, it's very good. Video is great in daytime and pretty good at night.
Audio is also good.
It's bigger than my factor RV mirror so can see a lot more of back seat.
One thing that doesn't work is the ADAS feature on this.
It doesn't warn even when it's on so I turned it off but ADAS features don't work that good on any dashcam anyways.
**************************************************
Description & Features:
It's rear view mirror dashcam based on Ambarella A7LA50 and can record in 1296p resolution.
It has straps to wrap around the rear view mirror and the camera's lens housing can move little bit to adjust the angle.
Video Resolution: 1080P (1920 x 1080),1296P (2304 x 1296),2560 x 1080,720P (1280 x 720)
Product size (L x W x H): 30.00 x 8.00 x 0.80 cm / 11.81 x 3.15 x 0.31 inches

Hyundai H100 front and back: Front has 4.3" screen on the right side.
Back has camera lens on the right side, that means the lens will be on the left of rear view mirror when mounted. Reset hole is on the back as well.

Side-by-side with Papago GoSafe 268 rear view mirror dashcam.
Funny thing is both of these arrived on the same day so I guess both of these are my fist rear view mirror dashcam.

Hyundai H100 Rear View Mirror Dashcam Daytime videos:
Daytime video is excellent.
All areas are in focus and very sharp.
It has Dewarp option (can be turned off) so corners are straight as well, no fish-eye effect.
Audio is pretty good with some hiss at times.

Day after snow... with sunshine off and on...
audio replaced

Almost an accident...
Against the Sun, original audio...

Sunny side of the town... audio replaced

How it looks installed?
From outside:
Only a small part is visible on the lens side. Pretty discrete.
I wish there were no chrome borders and chrome lens housing but not too noticeable.
Also the straps wrap around pretty good so no vibrations.

From inside: It's bigger and more convex than my stock mirror so I can see a lot more in the RV mirror including most of my back seats.

Do you know if it will support rear camera in the av in input and pop up during the reverse and also do recording at the same time while driving?

Not sure.
Manual is only in Chinese but I'll check if there's a diagram showing something for rear cam.
 
Thank you so much.
Manual only mentions 'AV-IN' in the features list, no further instruction on rear camera in and I don't have a camera that plugs in there so can't test.

That's all right.I think it's only have the av-in function,nothing more since it says nothing about that in the menu feature.
Thanks again.
 
This car camera not working security features, LDWS, FCWS ...
 
Yes, none of them Works (LDWS, FCWS, FCMD) . I think you need GPS.
 
Manuals other car cameras show that always has to be activated GPS for security features LDWS, FCWS ... For Hyundai H100 car camera there is a version with GPS (http://www.atupapa.com/8707500030en.html), possibly left in the menu these security features by mistake.
 
Please, as the safety functions are activated? I select the menu LDWS calibration for adjustment and then LDWS ON, but no screen reference line does not appear with stripes of the road or sound. Greetings.
 
Sometimes micro sd card has problem for Hyundai H100. Did you use SAndisk brand? Please try this Samsung 32GB sd card. It works perfect with Hyundai H100.
