Hey everyone, I currently own a navman gps + dashcam which covers the front of my car but I'd also like a rear camera for the back and figured I'd like it to be able to be a parking camera as well. I'm looking for something super easy to install that works without much input from me (auto enable when reversing!). I've seen some which attach to your mirror but no idea if those are any good.
Anyone got any recommendations? No set budget but preferably fairly cheap if its reliable.
I use one of these https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/265486887809, Got for like $30 a while ago (before corona pandemic Tax)
in my Barina, it was very easy to install, Super cheap (cheapest one in market)
Bad things about it, It puts a lot of weight on the the car's rear view mirror (hence more chances of that being damaged, But it is not likely to damage it given you wont be rotating mirror much (aka only 1 person only drives that car, no need to adjust the rear view mirror position commonly)).
And the parking lights from the rear view camera are not adjustable (unlike compared to attaching rear camera to like a Car Radio (with rear camera support)
And even though the light is on, on the camera at night (But i cannot really see anything in the car at night/dark) (Hence use it for day only really).
But honestly the main to consider is Where do you want the rear view camera to output video at ? Like on your radio/ or another screen on windscreen or like this one at rearview mirror. If you want to have video displayed at radio screen, You have no other choice than to replace your stock car radio.
