4-3-1080p-full-hd-rearview-mirror-dual-channel

What’s good about having a rear view mirror dash camera in your car is that it has 2 cameras and it can record both video from front and back camera at the same time.  It can also be used to assist you in reverse parking. Best part is it doesn’t eat any space on your windshield because it is placed on top of your existing rear view mirror. There are lots of it on the market right now and finding the best one seems not easy. Here are some of the best we found on the market especially at lazada. 🙂






First of all, what are their specs that make them best?

  • Chipset – Chipset is the brain of the unit, so if you have a good chipset then you will expect a good performance. Good Chipset means no lag and no hangs, it will perform better and won’t overheat.
  • Sensor – sensor is the eye of your camera. Good sensor means better image specially at night where other sensors struggles to produce clear image. Most of the unbranded dash camera won’t disclose the image sensor they are using. If it is using good sensor such as sony, you can be sure that it will have a good image output quality.
  • lens angle – an angle of 170° is ideal coverage. lens angle is the angle that the camera can see, this means that an angle of 180 means that you can see side to side. It is best to have as wide angle as possible for better view.
  • brand – in most cases, products without brand have low quality. This may be because they have no name to protect. If something goes wrong, you can’t blame anyone.
  • warranty – there should be a always a warranty so you can be assured that if your unit breaks, you can ask for a replacement or repair.
