Bad purchase
It is a real problem to drive with this device when it is on, it is impossible to see the vehicles that come behind you while the vehicle is moving forward, anyone can have an accident.The system also does not record continuously, every so often you have to format the memory so that the system can store videos again.It is more convenient to buy a radio that has an LCD screen and install a camera for the reverse, in this way you can use your rearview mirror while you are driving.

CHICOM Dual Dashboard Camera Recorder 7" LCD 1080P Full HD
This product is a joke! The day I got home after the installation, the rear cam dropped down. Don't know what kind of adhesive I could use. I messaged them thru Amazon. The next day they got back to me with such an answer telling me to screw it on to the windshield or screw it on top of the license plate. OK. I finally got it glued back to the back window. Then I found out the rear cam doesn't work anymore. On trying to troubleshoot how to make it work, I found out the date was wrong and couldn't be made up to date. Tried to find info on how to change the date, without any success. The manual only provides minimal info as to what the function is for. I tried the website listed in the tiny instruction manual before and found that it was a bogus one. The seller's rep said a new one is under construction thru Amazon message. There are different functions, only if they can show you how to work then this can be a good product, otherwise, it is just a sham! I am sure I may discover more functions that are there but will not work if I ever reach a point that I have to use them.One more, I tried to retrieve/play back a file. What I could find is only the folder and there is no file in the DCIM folder at all. What is this dash cam for? It just defeated the purpose.Can someone tell me how to change the date? How to make the rear view cam works? How to make it record? The only good thing is the front view is pretty clear. That is it!UPDATE ON MY PREVIOUS REVIEW: Customer service is up to par. I wish they could have a better instructions to users. Now I am willing to give them 3 stars.

Great system. Could use a couple of non-fatal improvements
I like the simplicity, quality, and easy installation. The image is good, both front and back. Needs 2 improvements:1. The camera to mirror/display wiring should be in 2 pieces (small watertight hard rubber inline connector) a few feet from the camera. This would allow installation of the wire once, with a later replacement of the camera without disturbing the wiring. Also, it would be easier to install if only the inline connector (being about the size of the wire) were all that needed to be threaded from outside on the bumper to inside the vehicle, and not the right angle connector to the mirror.2. The instruction booklet talks about a 30 second time-out of the display, but the minimum is actually 1 minute. It wouldn't hurt to include the a 5-30 second time-out, with the proviso that the monitor not time out if the car is in reverse.Note: It is VERY good that the display defaults to the last set display, specifically that if rear view were the last set, then the display will start up again in rear view.With this default, and since it is necessary anyway to turn off the display by touching the button under the mirror if one wants it to turn off the display (restoring the mirror function) before the set timeout, it's really not necessary to even wire the reverse signal. In other words, the display starts up in rear view, and it either times out or is turned-off by the button under the mirror went the backing-up is done.Not bad, but I would still like to see a back-up priority setting: The display is off until the car is in reverse. The display then turns on until the car is no longer in reverse, at which time it turns off.Not sure I see any reason for viewing forward, except briefly to verify the front camera coverage, but maybe I don't get it.

Back up camera is useful, wide mirror
I already had an independent front facing dash cam so I mostly care about the mirror and backup camera, although the front facing camera is pretty decent quality, I have not been using it to store recordings.The mirror itself is very easy to install, it’s hooked on by two pieces of rubber that fit over your existing mirror. The mirror is nice and wide, wider than most standard mirrors. It hooks up into a 12v port in your dash so you don’t need a lot of experience to be able to install it.The backup camera is relatively easy to install, I opted to use adhesive and meet it inside the car to help protect it from the elements like snow and ice, if you live in a place with harsh winters frost/ice buildup may be a factor in where you choose to mount it. The camera itself has decent quality and is definitely good enough for its function.The integration into the mirror itself is nice too, with date and time, and you can pan the cameras up and down using just the touch screen. Overall it’s a decent combination of cameras for the price.

Quick, effortless set
OUTSTANDING! You do not even have to connect it to the reverse light, just tap the mirror when you want to see anything. This includes while in motion, front or back camera, or both. Clarity is excellent and it really enhances your safety to see what is going on around you when moving or parked. It took 15 minutes to fully set up, including running the wires, right out of the box. Absolutely user friendly and quick. I have a large SUV and had plenty of wire to run the full length of the vehicle. It comes with everything you need to mount it, including self tapping screws for the rear camera. You could pay 3x this and not get as nice a camera. Highly recommend this for the usefulness, clarity, safety and ease of use.
