Thank you @JIVAN for sending Vantrue M1 Mirror dashcam for review.
For more details, visit product link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/B07W65SR72****************************************
Summary: Rearview mirror, 9.88" touch screen, dual 1080p, gps, external reverse (backup) camera.
-Backup camera needs power from reverse lights to activate the reverse mode with proximity lines. This feature is very helpful when backing up.
-Supports up to 128GB microSD cards
-Front and rear cameras are not that noticeable.
Pros:
-Reverse camera automatically activates and provides parking guidelines when you shift the car into reverse.
-Great video quality, touch screen quality is very good.
-Rear video quality is excellent! Rear camera is outside so no reflection from windshield affecting the quality.
-Night video is decent from front camera and very good from rear camera.
Cons:
-Installation was little complicated. I had to drill hole as I couldn't fish the wire through any of existing holes through the hatch to license plate area.
-Depending upon the vehicle model, it's very tight with the cables and adjusting angle upwards is challenging due to factory rear view mirror housing too close to the top of mirror camera.
