A:Answerthe mirror dash cam fits over your existing mirror with rubber straps, so there is no real installation for this part.
the rear camera actual needs to be installed by mounting the camera to a spot on the back of the vehicle (usually near the license plate), and running wires along your baseboards and interior to reach the front rear view mirror. There is also a red wire by the rear camera that needs to be spliced into your reverse light wires.
So yes, there is a certain amount of installation that needs to be done, maybe 30 minutes to an hour time frame
A:AnswerFor my car yes I drill because I wanted to be in the center but you can put it with your rear plate screws so you don’t have to make a whole and you can run the wires with the license plate lights
A:AnswerIt auto records about a minute if the car shakes. So, maybe, if someone slugged your car with a bat or something, but if we’re talking about someone keying your car or graffiti, etc., then definitely not. Hope this info helps.
A:Answerdepending on the car.. but mine i can see clearly on or off.. depends on what you focus on..
At night however the screen needs to be off.. cant see much from the rear view mirror
A:AnswerThis is an amazing recording device. The screen turns on and once recording is set and you’re driving for about a minute or so the screen becomes a reflective mirror. Be careful not to hit the power button when making adjustments or the screen reactivates. You can swipe between front and rear camera views but I find the mirror less distracting.
A:AnswerBe sure to connect the wire from the rear camera to your backup tail light wire. This allows the rear camera to activate on the display when you put the gear shift into reverse. You can also scroll the view of the back camera up and down digitally by swiping up and down on the display. This comes in handy if you want to see your back bumper. For example backing up to a trailer. It remembers the view that you selected, so the next time you back up, it will give you that same view.
A:Answerit does come with another camera they say that it is a back up camera, it plugs into a jack on the mirror and they say to power it from the reverse light, that's all i know so far about this system
A:AnswerIt doesn’t have to be professional but if you are not comfotable you can ask the geek squad from Best Buy if you will buy it from them. I installed mine. It was easy.
