The pros and cons of mirror dash cams
Record your journeys with an in-car camera is a brilliant way to get a little more peace of mind when you’re out on the road. Theare now simple to use, feature-packed and offer great video quality. But a clever variation on the theme, mirror dash cams, may also have caught your eye.
Because they usually mount to your rear-view mirror, they can also be a more minimalist solution than standard dash cams. Basic dash cams are invariably mount to your windscreen, usually around the rearview mirror, or perhaps lower down between the screen and the dash. Not only does the mirror dash cam enable you to carry out onboard recording as you drive, most models will also deliver a recorded view of the road behind you and act as a surveillance camera into the bargain.
Most dash cam mirrors are fixed to your mirror using bands or clips, which provides a much more solid way to secure your unit than, say, some of the suction brackets that come with windshield-mounted models.The fundamentals of mirror dash cams aren't radically different to standard dash cameras, with both sharing many of the same features and functions.
The latter can be handy for recording intruders. In terms of external features, you’ll want to find a durable case, with a decent size mirror area and, perhaps, waterproofing too if your vehicle is prone to condensation.
