I installed this Vehicle Blackbox DVR full HD 1080p Dual Dash Cam Mirror with front and rear cameras over a year ago, here's a follow up video on that DashCam Mirror after 1 year of use.
Its cheap but does it still work? what problems have I had? What changes have I made? Would I still recommend it? Also answered a few of your questions in the video too.
I ended up splitting it in two as it turned out way longer than I intended, I put the Q&A in a separate video. The first video I go through what problems I may have had and what changes I've made or learnt. Then I go through the settings and the buttons. Then finish with the FAQ's in part 2 and conclusion.
Hopefully this will help some of you guys thinking of buying one of these dash cam mirrors or have questions on the unit.

This dual camera mirror I purchased was unbranded and was just called a Vehicle Blackbox DVR full HD 1080p rear view mirror dash cam but I've seen the same dual camera mirror branded as a Buyee Dash Cam Mirror, an IsYoung Dash Cam Mirror, Partim Dash Cam Mirror, a NexGadget Dash Cam Mirror an Oumax Dash Cam Mirror, TripCam PRO Dual Lens Dash Camera and CoPilot CPDVR3 RearView Mirror Dual Camera System, there maybe more brands too, I'll update the list if I see any or post others in the comments if you know of any.
Additions to the list: Furiauto Dash Cam Mirror, Sendow Dash Cam Mirror, Oxygentle Dash Cam Mirror, Syin Dash Cam Mirror, NextBase Dash Cam Mirror, QCY A70 Dash Cam Mirror, CD102, JVIN Dash Cam Mirror Car Video Recorder, PZ916, RH-A20.
So if its Buyee, IsYoung, Partim, NexGadget, Oumax, TripCam PRO or the Co-Pilot CPDVR3 as well as Furiauto, Sendow, Oxygentle or NextBase they all appear to be the same unit, tho the software seems to change slightly, intro screens etc and I've heard of people having a slightly different lists in the options and the rear camera varies, some are square (I don't know if they are different specs) I chose one with the round rear camera because I preferred how it looked. Also the video quality, I don't know if it changes between brands or not. But for example the TripCam PRO or the CoPilot CPDVR3 that I just discovered is twice the price I paid for this one so maybe the image quality is better too?
Thanks for Watching! Hope you liked and enjoyed it or found it informative. Please give it a Like and Subscribe for more videos.

@LeesRandomVids 5 лет назад

Thanks buddy, I'm glad it was of some use to you, the setting can be a bit of a mystery with no instructions. BTW, I've had mine in my car about 2 1/2 years now.. it's still working fine.

@bigmallly7863 5 лет назад

Hello Lee & thank you for the vids, they helped me a lot when using my mirror cam. One thing I did learn which I may have missed in your vids was to only use the motion sensor when the car is parked up, do not use it as a permanent setting. When activated during normal running, it confuses the camera & takes random footage when driving. As I say, you may have mentioned it & may have missed it but hope it is useful for anyone who uses one of these cams & notices the picture randomly coming on & off. Disable the motion sensor during driving, park up, then activate the motion sensor if desired.

@LeesRandomVids 5 лет назад

Thanks mate, I'm glad the video was of use to you. Yeah I did mention the motion sensor briefly only to say mine doesn't appear do anything. I've had mine switched on for over two years and it's never done anything, either while driving or parked up. My car is stored in a garage at night, theoretically it should pick up the motion of me entering the garage every time I go to get the car out, but its never done it once.

The reverse camera has an aux port on my mirror.Despite having plugged it in and connected the red wire to the reverse light, the image does not appear on the mirror. Only the front camera's image appears. The leds on the reverse camera comes on but the image does not show. Any advice for this maybe

The motion detection feature makes a protected video if it detects movement. Could be a security feature when car parked at home or anywhere else. Could fill the disc if it sees lots of movement.

@gazhughes1439 2 года назад

@@LeesRandomVids hi just watched your video,,,very informative,but just wondering what the camera view looks like at night,,,,thinking of getting one are they worth it,,thanks

@LeesRandomVids 2 года назад

It's not the greatest at night to be honest, low quality cameras struggle in low light, but it's still better than having no camera. I made a sample footage video with a little bit of night driving in it, you can see how dark it is but the road was actually well lit. The rear camera, which is even lower quality actually looks a bit lighter than the front at night. You'd be lucky to get a number plate, but would still show if the other person was driving dangerously, and give you evidence etc. Here's the link to the video, I've set it to start at the night bit for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G9-7_AorJyI.html

@MikeOchtman 5 лет назад

The dashcam is worth it if only for the rear view mirror itself. Much wider field of view, so my blind spots are covered out the back side windows, and the tint makes it much easier on the eye. Camera/DVR itself is a bit so-so, I might keep the mirror and buy a better dash camera. It's good, but there are better in the same price range.

@LeesRandomVids 5 лет назад

Yeah its cheap as chips but does the job.

@LUTH1978 6 лет назад

Hello, thank you for the review, the quality of the back camera in the night, is not good, I would like to know if we can change the back camera with another with high resolution? Is there any camera compatible with the dash cam?

Hey buddy! Thanks for your review on the dash cam. I'm gonna but one from either Currys or Amazon (both £35) based on your experience. I'm now in the process of looking for one of those Haynes manuals for my car to find out how to wire it in for reversing.

@LeesRandomVids 4 года назад

You're welcome mate, glad it was some use to you. On the reverse camera, you just need to connect the switch wire into the reverse light circuit, I made a video showing how I installed mine but I sorta wired mine a more long winded way via the light cluster itself as I didn't was to cut into the car's wires.

How to turn full screen back camera

@chuanhooi1109 3 года назад

Hi, mine is not turned on when I start my car, and when I press any button it's still blank. Could you please help me on that?

@LeesRandomVids 3 года назад

Check there is power going to it. Try a second power source like plugging it into your computer via usb or other usb charger. If it turns on then you know it's not getting power in the car, if it doesn't turn on from any power source, or u know 100% it has power in the car then I don't know why it wont turn on, I'd suspect it could be faulty if so.

Perfect video for me to operate my mirror cam. I'm not sure on playback though, did I miss something? Thank you so very much. I wished I would have seen this when you posted it but I have it now. If you would, can you tell me about playback? I don't have the instructions for the cam. Thanks again !!

@LeesRandomVids 5 лет назад

Thanks mate, I'm glad it was some use to you. Regarding playback, you need to stop it recording by pressing OK then press the flower/gear button (or whatever the symbol means) 2 times to get to the video recordings. Pressing it once shows the pictures, and twice for the videos. Then press the arrow buttons to go through the video clips and OK to play one. Go to 19:40 in the video where I show this with the pics and then video and play back a video, the only thing is, the video I play back I'm not moving as I realised I had deleted them when showing how to format the memory card, that's why I kinda pause as I'm realising lol, but you can still see it is playing back a video because of the play bar. Hope it helps.

Thanks mate, yeah I'm not sure exactly, mine starts up whether I have this function turned off or not. The options in the menu on mine are Off, 30 seconds, 1 minute or 2 minutes. Whichever I have mine set at it turns on and off the moment I turn my car on or off. Maybe on mine the function is inactive. Thanks for the info mate.

@MrModel43 6 лет назад

Is your screen on dashcam will go black, it will still film. Sry fotr wrong answer. Make more dashcam review they are great.

Ah yes, on mine that is the LCD Brightness option. Thanks mate!

@davidcooke7744 6 лет назад

Hi ya me again. I’ve seen a video on RU-vid and it seems that the motion detector will pick up people who are passing near the vehicle but it may need a permanent power supply. All the best mate.

@LeesRandomVids 6 лет назад

Thanks for the info mate, I will have to test it out. I can sort of understand that then with permanent power if that is true, it will be constantly recording anyway if powered but eventually would fill the card up and over write the files, so maybe makes a protected file every time someone walks past. Would need to remember to format the card frequently if so tho.

@LeesRandomVids 6 лет назад

i was washing the car this evening and was experimenting with it the motion detection option, but whether the dash cam was on recording with the ignition on or turned off asleep it never did anything when I passed either the front or rear cam. Must do something but on mine.. doesnt seem to do anything.

@MrModel43 6 лет назад

Motion detection is if someone goes to close to your car, cam will start to record,while is parked.

Hi how do you get a split screen showing front and rear at the same time , Thanks for video very informative

@LeesRandomVids 6 лет назад

Hi, and thank you. It depends when you mean mate, if you mean a live split screen on the mirrors display then you press the left arrow button to choose which camera(s) you want displayed, see 20:48 But if you mean split screen when playing back recordings (which I'm assuming you do) like in my sample footage video or the end of the Q&A video then you cant, well you can but it was done with editing when I made the video. The front and rear cameras are recorded as separate files. The mirror puts all the front camera files in one folder on the memory card and all the rear camera files in another folder. In my videos with split screen I matched and added the two videos together when I made the videos, it wont playback as split screen by itself. In the sample footage video I mentioned the picture in picture playback was done with editing. Hope it helps. Sample footage Video: ►ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G9-7_AorJyI.html

Boot video should mean the little boot-up animation when you boot it up.

@LeesRandomVids 5 лет назад

Thanks mate, I've since found what it does, it actually means it starts recording automatically when it switches on. Like when you turn the car on the unit powers up and starts recording so u don't have to do anything. If you turn Boot Video off, it will still power on when you turn the cars ignition on but wont start recording, you'd have to manually press record.

@bigbore400 6 лет назад

LeesRandomVids does it have a button to press that records emergency video. Like you press it and it saves and locks the last 4 minutes in a file. Like if you see something stupid on tge road that you want to save can you press a special button to lock it instantly.

@LeesRandomVids 6 лет назад

Yeah mate, press the button that looks like a flower and it protects the current file being recorded, it wont record over it and you cant delete it without formatting the card. Depending what you have your cyclic recording length set to will determine the amount saved. 1 minute files obv the file saved will be 1 minute long, 3 minute 3 and so on. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dv9ftl5aZ2U.htmlm32s

I see. I've no idea mate, but it sounds faulty. Can you return it to where you bought it from. You could try pressing the reset switch in the back (it's a tiny pin hole) and removing the memory card to make sure it's not that that's causing it, worth a try but I doubt either will work.

Gidday mate I have just installed one if these in my ford escape my friend bought it in Thailand problem I have found is the camera set up is for a left hand drive car and the blue tint makes it hard to view the camera during a sunny day its okay at night but not during the day

@LeesRandomVids 5 лет назад

I think it's made for both, but perhaps left hand drive cars primarily that can also be adjusted to fit right hand drive cars too. Make sure to angle the camera as far right as it will go on the back of the mirror, I did this and it just about points forwards on mine, maybe very slightly to the left but records the whole road. The blue was very strange for me at first too, infact I didn't like it, but I have gotten use to it now and it's fine. I've not had a problem with viewing the screen on sunny days... tho I am in England haha. Cheers mate.

@LeesRandomVids 5 лет назад

The left arrow key selects which camera(s) to view on the screen, shown at 20:40 If no rear camera is displayed, check to see if it is recording the rear camera to the sd card in order to check if the rear camera is working or not. If it's recording the rear camera then at least it's recording it, but the left arrow should allow you to display it, if its not recording the rear camera either then maybe the rear camera is faulty?

@@LeesRandomVids there are two micro size crosspoint screws , you undo those , and then carefully run round the edge of the mirror with a tool like they use for opening mobile phones , or I used the back of a scalpel blade , they are little clips holding the two halves together, you tease them apart. The battery on mine was to the left of the screen inside , it had a alum foil jacket , which was gassed up and swollen , so I just clipped ot out and drilled a hole in the case , and used an old 3.7V phone battery twinstuck to the back of the unit .

@skipsherv 2 года назад

Excellent video! Helped me a lot. Two questions, though. 1. Is the forward camera pic supposed to be blurry for distance and crystal clear for real close objects? 2. An hour after installation, it stopped working and shuts off saying, "not enough power" even while the engine is running. I suspect the internal battery is toasted and not holding a charge. Does anyone else have this issue? On a side note - they accidentally sent me two cameras, but one won't even turn on. the boxes are faded, so I think these have been sitting for several years and the batteries are not good anymore. I may dissect the extra one and take a look inside!

@LeesRandomVids 2 года назад

1 - No that doesn't sound right, should be focused for far away objects to record traffic. 2 - Strange, should be running on the car's power while the car is running, only uses the battery when the car's power feed is off from it. Yeah would be interested to know how easy it is to change the battery, the one in mine now is 99.9% dead, last a few seconds, that's it. I believe they're some strange cheap obscure battery that are soldered in tho.

You can delete any you want when the SD card in in the laptop, just click on the end press delete, it's just the dash cam that wont overwrite or delete the protected ones. Cheers for the update.

@debbiegroves2649 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing. I learnt a lot and could make changes that made the camera work better. However, I don't know if you had these issues. My car is a right hand drive and the camera is on the left, I don't know if there are any with the camera on the right but I am having a difficulty capturing both sides of the roadway. Also, the camera seems to be too heavy for my rear view mirror and causes it to shift downwards making it difficult for me to see . I constantly have to be fixing it! Any suggestions for these issues?

@LeesRandomVids 4 года назад

Hi, I'm glad you found it useful. On the camera on the left issue, yeah my car is right hand drive too, did you angle the camera on the back of the mirror as far right as it can go? I assume you know it moves. I had to angle mine as far right as it would go, it still points very slightly left when the mirror is set correctly but it covers just about all of the road ahead. This is how mine looks: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G9-7_AorJyI.html On the issue of your mirror dropping, I personally havnt had that issue but every car is different. I don't know what to suggest, hmm, maybe push some blue tack or something into the joint where the stalk enters the mirror at the back to try and stiffen it up a little? not sure, but stiffening the joint may help, but don't use glue or anything like that or your mirror will be stuck. I think id try that first, blue tack, at least you wont ruin your mirror by giving that a try. hope it helps anyway.

@geoffrandall8905 5 лет назад

Hi, great video, thanks. Do you run off direct power? I ask because my clock resets to zero if I do not drive for more than a day or so. I presume this is because I run the dash from the cigar lighter.

@LeesRandomVids 5 лет назад

Thank you. No mate, mine is plugged into the cigarette lighter socket too (I installed a second one under the dash wired from the original one) which also disconnects power when the car is turned off. Mine keeps the time (gains a few minutes over the months). Maybe it's the internal battery that keeps the time and is just about dead, (just a guess).

I was having issues with the backup cam and you helped me out greatly 👍🏻 but it seems my files are not saving. Once turned on it’s recording so once I press “OK” does it automatically save because that doesn’t seem to be the case when I put the SD card in my computer.

@LeesRandomVids 5 лет назад

Great I'm glad it helped you. Hmm that's strange, but are your files on the memory card? Can you play them back on the mirror? You don't need to press OK to save them, it should just save them as it's recording. Pressing OK stops or starts it from recording. If it starts recording automatically when you turn it on (which is what u want) then pressing OK will stop it from recording. (the boot video option it was makes it auto start recording when its turned on).

@johnstede3509 Год назад

Hi Lee, thanks for a great video. I bought my device about 3 years ago. I had 2 issues with my device so far. 1. The adapter started to stop working and had to buy a new one. 2. The other big issue I have is a rattling sound on all footage recorded. This only happens when I go over uneven roads. It's very annoying when playing back video files. I'm not sure if it's something on my car's actual mirror. I recently bought the same system for my girlfriend with the same issue on hers as well, a rattling noise. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Another issue on her device. Her small screen is not bright enough. She can hardly see what's on the mirror. The actual recorded material is fine. Just the onscreen that's not clear enough. Many thanks

@LeesRandomVids Год назад

Thanks mate. And you're welcome. I've no idea what the rattling is. If you say it's the same on both yours and your girlfriends units then it must be the unit itself, or really bad luck to get the same rattle in both cars lol. Only thing I can think of is to check that the cables that plug into the recorder are not rattling against the unit. Mine doesn't have any options to alter the screen's brightness so I don't know, the option in the settings called 'LCD brightness' on mine is actually the auto screen of timer.

It records while ever it has a power feed, so if your car had a permanently live power socket that it was plugged into then yeah it would keep recording. But most car's power sockets are only live once the car is turned on, which makes it start up and record automatically when you turn the car on, and back of again when you turn the car off.

@johnbroadmeadow5433 3 года назад

Hi, and thanks for this video you've shared on RU-vid. I bought mine around 3 years ago and gave up on it a few months later. The problem I was getting was that after so long, the dash cam would say memory full. I came to the conclusion it wouldn't over write my day to day non event recordings of daily driving on a loop basis. From what I now understand from your video it will over write on a loop basis, and it's the fact it's locking footage from the guard mode I had set (ie records any vibration from a door shutting or going over rough ground) I'm I correct in assuming that? All the very best 👍

@LeesRandomVids 3 года назад

Yeah, that's what happens with mine. It never overwrites protected footage so it can eventually fill the card with them. Shouldn't be filling the card with them quickly tho, unless you live on a very bumpy street, it takes months on mine. If it's filling it too fast try turning the sensitivity to the lowest, that's what I did. Speed bumps and pot holes tend to make mine detect a bump and lock the file.

@johnbroadmeadow5433 3 года назад

@@LeesRandomVids Thanks for the reply. Today (just gone) I had another look at it, and coincidently did what you've just suggested and turned the sensitivity setting to low. I also didn't realise that I only had a 8gb memory cards in mine to, so that's been swapped over to a 32gb. Hopefully this will sort out the niggles. One other question for you that may have an answer to, is how does the parking movement detection work. I set mine to on, and the symbol of the man shows up, only to disable when I turn the ignition on. This feature can only be switched back on again once I've cut the power supply via turning off the cars ignition. Is this how it's supposed to be. All the very best and thanks for your words of wisdom 👍👍
