Full Screen LCD 10" Rearview Mirror DVR Dash Cam Review Junsun -  

This is definitely 1 of the best ways to hardwire them in, thanks for sharing!

why not just hard wire straight to the fuse box and skip the cigarette lighter?

@@itinkle then you need a step-down transformer to convert 12v dc (from the fuse box) to 5v DC for USB power input to dvr, essentially what the cigar lighter adapter does.

What a great idea. I've found direct plug in the socket regularly loses connection. Thanks for sharing.

How do you like it? Where did you get it for $107. I'm interested too.

I'd prefer if it was a full replacement mirror that you mount on the factory mount, but those are hard to find...

There are if you enable the reverse mode, which is done by connecting the mirror to your reverse lights. However I don’t find the lines very helpful, as they are not matched to the dimensions of the car. Personally I just move the view to as low as possible and it makes judging how far you are from other cars, walls or kerbs really easy with out the need for the lines.

Backup camera included, no compass display on the mirror

It’s a brilliant feature. Because of it I don’t use the reverse function. I’m being able to quickly change the angle for different reverse situations is perfect.

To be honest I haven’t enabled it. But it basically goes to a default view looking right at the lower part of the camera view and adds parking lines to the image. Pretty useless tbh.

They come with the mirror. Installation is always a bit tricky on any car the first time you do it. Just take your time. There’s always a way.

Obviously you have to run the rear cam wire through the roof

Where did you mount your camera on the truck? Also what model truck?

Also I am also very pedantic with things. Unfortunately my audi doesn't have a cheeky mount as your Megan to place the rear view camera. Can we retro fit the rear view camera to the adhesive ones to stick it next to the number plate light?

It really depends on the car. With the megane there were holes in the bumper we managed to use.

I bought the Junsun A930 dual mirror cam with the ADAS lane guidance and GPS, but don't try loading much software due to limited memory. I hard wired it to a cabin fuse and chose to place the rear cam inside just above my fairly small Stinger hatchback rear window, to give me greater rear visibility, but hot summer temps quickly overload the rear camera, and will shut it down to showing only a useless green screen...while the front cam seems much sturdier in the extreme heat...FYI...but such a great concept..

Hi, Yes, they have a button on the bottom which instantly puts the screen to sleep and then the mirror just looks like a normal mirror. If you want to switch the screen back on you just press that button again. All of the electronics stay on, its just the screen that sleeps, so its an instant turn on or off.

Yes, the Dash cam does record both front and rear. I don't use the reverse camera as i don't like the way it automatically points down when you put it in reverse, not to mention the lines are useless on most cars. Those preset lines only work if the camera is specifically designed for the vehicle. All these universal ones, it's more of a gimmick. That said you can connect it to your reverse lights to automatically enable the reverse function. No there are no lights on the camera. However most cars have reverse lights, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah you can manually start and stop the recording if you wanted to. and yes you can adjust the front camera by simply tilting your mirror. Because the mirror is a screen and showing the footage from the rear camera it doesn't matter where the mirror is pointing it will always show a perfect view out the back 👍

I dont think it can. Although i'm not 100% sure. They use a mini headphone jack connector for the rear camera. So it would require some adapters and testing also the camera would need to be outputting the correct scale video signal. Let us know if you do ever attemp to retro fit a different camera. Have a great week.

@@ZeroTo60Tube Thank you. Can you show us the cable routing for the rear view camera in your vehicle?

@@ZeroTo60Tube Here is another product review from your channel. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Luj8YMke8lM.html

This is quite old now. But the rear view is a much wider angle and nitgh vision shows a lot more than a normal mirror as well.

Unfortunately the lines are not adjustable.

It does yes. However I tend to leave it in the normal rear view mode. The reverse cam points down at the ground. Which is overkill in my opinion.

This one in mini USB.

It's not for a mic that's for the reverse camera

Yes you are right and I don’t use the reverse function for that reason. Most times I will point the camera down as low as possible, but for some reversing I will need it up higher. It’s so quick to change angle with touch screen I just do it manually if needed. I don’t see a need for a auto reverse function as such. Also the lines are pretty much useless.

The problem is, it will be different for every car. That said it’s pretty basic. I’d recommend temporarily positioning the rear cam and take the car for a drive before you finalise the cameras location. Apart from that everything is plug in 👌

Yes it records both at the same time

@@ZeroTo60Tube Where is it stored? Does it also work when you aren't in the car and the car is parked somewhere, for example in case of vandalism.

Aaron Mattheus I believe it has a microsd and it deletes clips as it gets full which you could save if you were to need them.

So sorry guys sometimes we don’t get notifications on replies to comments. Edgar is 100% correct there is an SD card in the unit.

@@ZeroTo60Tube my junsun doesnt record back camera or i just dont know how to access the file

This car has the 5 or 6m cable, it was more than long enough. 10m would be way too long.

You can enable that feature if you connect the camera system to the reverse lights. I left it off as i don't generally like using reverse camera guide lines.

No noticeable delay at all. It feel like you are looking in a mirror, just with a huge field of view.

I have only seen the ones that sit over the existing mirror. You can't see the original mirror from the drivers seat so its never bothered me. BUt you do need to make sure this mirror is bigger than your stock one.

@@ZeroTo60Tube Thanks. I know the AutoVox X1 Pro and NikoMaku AS-3 Pro Max are OEM style, they just replace your mirror, but those are the only options I see. Everything else is slip-on.

Yes both front and back simultaneously incase of any accidents

Yes, we’ll it is a wired camera, direct plug in to the mirror. So no cutting of wires or anything tricky.

Obviously

Hi Ricardo, It will be different for every car. On this Megan we tucked them just up in the headliner. Ran them all the way to the back of the car and then down through the rear quarter plastic panels. What sort of car have you got?

Zero To 60 I just got a 2015 Mazda 3

@@rpierrelouis071 Hi Again, i haven't fitted one to a Mazda, but i imagine hiding the wires just up in the headlining should work ok. If you get stuck let us know.

If it was "corrected" you'd be viewing opposite information. Left cars to the right, etc.

They have it now for $100 ($85 if you click the coupon button). The amazon ID is B07YSG6XF1

@@carlwei already purchased mirror awesafe dash cam over a month ago. which was at a discount and prime shipping was free.. thanks just the same

Unfortunately I’m not sure. I haven’t left it running unplugged to properly test.

Zero To 60 link to this product?

Yes, the screen turns of completely and it looks like a tinted mirror or an auto dimming mirror like what you get in Mercs/BMW.

No it won’t. It will play back recordings that it has recorded, that’s that’s all.

@@ZeroTo60Tube thanks I will be sending it back it didn't say that in the description where I bought it from kinda useless for me

Hi there. Unfortunately not at this point in time. However there is always the 10” screen on the unit itself to view the files on.

maybe those expensive ones.

@@carbuncle1977 No even the $400 one we have does not have the wifi remote viewing option. However, i have that option on my other normal dash cam and it is rubbish to use. Its always a pain to get the phone to connect, then the apps are always a bit clunky. With the mirror screens, it separates the event files (when you mark something or when the mirror senses an impact) so you can quickly scroll through and play the file. With the mirror screen you are viewing the files with in 10 seconds, with the apps on your phone, allow closer to a minute, longer if the wifi is being a pain.

@@ZeroTo60Tube check 70mai brand, they have wifi and wifi hotspot option

Audio yes, but no video, the cameras are facing forward at the road and backwards at the road (nothing pointing inside the car)

Yes, it will basically fill the card up then delete the oldest clip from that point. You can even set how long the clips are they get saved.

@@ZeroTo60Tube do i have to do something in the settings to aitomatically deletr old recordings

The junsun is still working in the Megane. Here's a current link. ebay.to/3eoHMUq

Yes it does

@@ZeroTo60Tube thanks from the reply. greetings from manila philippines!

@@carbuncle1977 you are more than welcome. Thanks for checking out our channel. We are running 4 of these mirror/dvrs now so if you have any questions just let us know. Thanks

All the product info is in video description for you

The Junsun is still working like new. Admittedly now i have had a play with the more expensive Pormido and Accumen units the interface on the Junsun is slow and not quite as refined. But the hardware is still working perfectly.

Which unit would you recommend out of the two you mentioned?

@@ddemier for a car (not a commercial vehicle) i would go the Acumen. There is still 30% off at the moment when you use this link. Worth every bit of the money over the Junsun. amzn.to/2ZeQroj

@@ZeroTo60Tube yes for my personal car (sedan) Did you do a review on Acumen? If so can you send me the link.

We did. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Luj8YMke8lM.html let us know if you have any questions.

Yeah, dash cams have had pretty good video quality for years now. I have probably watched 50 different sample footage clips over the years and they are much of a muchness. I didn't want to just pad this video out with footage people don't need to see. I would have highlighted it, if the footage was bad, but its not, its like any dash cam thats come out in the last 3-4 years. In this review i tried to focus on the features it has that are new, like its use a rear view mirror.

@@ZeroTo60Tube alright then, keep your secrets

no

That is a problem with where I mounted the camera on this car. As it’s so low on the bumper it’s in the headlight beams unfortunately. I thought about mounting it up up the spoiler which would fix most of that glare, but have ended up leaving it. It didn’t bother me once I got used to it. It’s only a problem when the cars are close behind like at lights. Normal driving distance seems to be sweet.

@@ZeroTo60Tube Thanks for the information. I'm going to try it anyways coz it has the Amazon free return. lol

No never. I figured the fact New vehicles (Escalade and some jags) come with these as oem they should be legal.

I haven’t found it a problem at all. But I tend to have clean hands. I think it should fine for most people. Like most people are not wiping there touch screen phones down every time they touch them.

@@ZeroTo60Tube Well I ordered this model Im just gonna have to get used to swiping each time I get in the car. I really dont understand why they do not include a setting to keep the front or back camera up at power on.

@@ZeroTo60Tube Does it come with a hard wire harness?

@@Tony-uo4ml Hi Tony, the junsun did come with a harness. Shame you didnt get the acumen, it remembers last screen you were on, so you dont have to touch the screen very often.

@@ZeroTo60Tube I bought it and tried the install. The rear view cable was 7 feet too short for my Nissan Xterra. After buying an extension cable I used it in traffic here in the US and I would see the rear video whilst driving but the glare from the screen itself made it impossible to see unless I pointed the mirror towards the head liner. I returned it. A small vehicle like yours is perhaps a better fit than an SUV.

I think they use wires purely for a reliability standpoint, the wireless back up camera. Which still need wiring up for power do play up every and again with connection issues. That said maybe there are wireless version out there. I personally would rather spend the 20 mins running the wires so never looked for a wireless version of this. What sort of car do you have? Would you like some help working out how to run the wires?

haha, i wish they paid me. This was our first mirror review. I never used the parking function as the mirror doesnt have power when the car is parked.

@@ZeroTo60Tube I think park means reverse as in reverse parking. my one is a different brand but it pulls up a semi-accurate grid. guess since you've replied I should subscribe

It works as a dash cam. You know, for recording accidents and things to help clarify who is at fault for insurance purposes. I don’t think anyone uses it as a view finder 😂, but then again I’ve seen people do some strange things. Most people just switch straight to the rear view. That said it’s handy to help position and frame the front DVr function.

@@ZeroTo60Tube Do you actually have to switch to the rear view every time you get in? Or does it default to rear view?

What was your issue with it? This has been great.

It was utterly slow and died in just 3 months.

That is very strange, this one is still working perfectly.
