Pros: It has very good daytime videos and night videos from the front camera.
The camera wraps around built in RV mirror. If you have thick RV mirror like mine, the stretching straps will really stretch.
Hand gesture to lock and turn display on/off.
Night mode to enable hi exposure with a touch of a screen.
Cons: Audio has some rattling due to wrapping around my thick factory RV.

-Rear Cam Sensor is AR0330 1/3" CMOS.
Edit: AR0330 is front sensor.
-Front Cam Sensor is NT99141 1/4" CMOS.
Edit: NT99141 is rear sensor.

-Operating Temperature is 32 to 158 deg. F.
-Processor is NOVATEK NT96655.
-Anti-dazzling blue screen mirror.
-Weatherproof backup up camera.

Okay, updated.
 
Finally we get what seems to be a decent RVM cam :) But the LiPo battery makes it a no-go for much of the world and the 480P VGA rear cam is a total bust. Had it been 720P it might be useful :( Well at least it's waterproof. Good review as always- Thanks Sunny :cool:

I think the rear camera is intended to act as a reverse/backup camera rather than a dashcam.
I may install it in my old SUV that doesn't have option to add built in backup camera but the hesitation is that it'll add a permanent dashcam and a lot of trouble to swap it.
 
This camera has some nice features. Few are mentioned below with videos:
1. Hand Gesture to turn LCD on/off and to lock files.

2. Night Mode touch screen button that increase exposure and records bright videos at night. Easy to turn on/off via touch screen.
When night mode is on, the small eye icon on the left bottom becomes red.
You can see how bright the sidewalks are and can even see clouds when it's on.

3. No video but 5" screen makes it very easy to review videos compared to tiny 2" screens on most other dashcams.
