Safety should be your number one priority when you are driving. Not just for yourself, but for others that share the roads with you. The best and the simplest way to increase safety is by giving drivers a much better view of their surroundings. Which is why rear cameras have become so prevalent. However, having a camera pointed at the back may not be enough. It’s also a good idea to have a camera pointed in the direction that you are going. These dash cameras can come in handy if there is any mishap as the recording can be used as evidence. A smart rearview mirror takes both these functionalities and incorporates them in a rearview mirror found in all cars. These mirrors not only have a camera on them but also a display. Here’s a look at some smart rearview mirrors available on Amazon. Do note that the products are selected based on the specifications and features that they offer.
Smart Road Witness WV01RCA08392 Dash Cam
The Smart Road Witness WV01RCA08392 Dash Cam is said to be able to record videos in 1080p. The front camera has a 140-degree field of view, which should ensure that little area is missed. When the car is engaged in reverse, the rear-facing camera turns into a parking camera, while the feed from the camera is shown on the display in the rearview mirror. This should allow more safety and precision when parking their car.
E-ACE Dvr Dash Camera Car Dvr Mirror
The E-ACE Dvr Dash Camera Car Dvr Mirror offers 1080p video recording at 30fps. The front-facing camera offers a 170-degree field of view, which the rear camera offers a respectable 120-degree field of view. Both combined should ensure that both sides of your car are adequately covered. As with the system mentioned above, the rear camera turns into a parking camera when reversing. Other features of the camera include G-Sensor, Loop Recording, Emergency Lock, Motion Detection and more.
Smart Road Witness SRW-M7T Dash Cam
The Smart Road Witness SRW-M7T Dash Cam packs a large 7-inch touch screen display that is integrated into the rearview mirror. The touchscreen controls should make it easier for people to interact with the system. The front camera is capable of recording video in 1080p with a 150-degree wide field of view, while the rear camera is weatherproof, so you don’t have to worry about rain ruining it. Other features of the system include G-sensor, Night Vision, Loop Recording, Parking mode and more.
OEM 4.3-Inch Rear View TFT-LCD Colour Car Monitor
As the name would suggest, the OEM 4.3-Inch Rear View TFT-LCD Colour Car Monitor features a 4.3-inch TFT display that is hidden behind the rearview camera. However, it should be noted that unlike the other products mentioned above, this system does not feature a front camera. So you will only be able to use the device as a reversing camera. This isn’t too surprising when one takes into consideration its relatively low price point.
