Mirror or interior mirror dashcams, they are becoming increasingly popular. The best mirror dashcams are the so-called ‘Full Mirror’ dashcams where the full mirror also acts as an LCD screen. With these dashcams, the image from the rear camera is displayed fully on the screen and thus digitally. Such an interior mirror dashcam is therefore in fact also a digital interior mirror.
Particularly in vans and camper vans, drivers swear by it. This is hardly surprising, since in these types of vehicles, rear visibility is often poor or non-existent. A mirror dashcam is the best solution in that case, although you will often have to place a ‘placebo’ interior mirror on the window. This is because an interior mirror dashcam is always placed over the current interior mirror, which is often absent in campers or vans.
More and more people are also using a mirror dashcam in normal cars. The reasons vary, but the most common argument is that a mirror dashcam is less conspicuous in the car. Besides, even in a passenger car, rear visibility is best with a digital interior mirror, although that effect is less than in a camper van or van.
We love lists, so here we give you the best mirror or interior mirror dashcams of the moment. When is an interior mirror best? The best indoor mirrors have good image quality, preferably a parking mode to secure your car. In addition, it should not be too big but also not too small.
Number one | The 4 best mirror dashcams
The best mirror dashcam at the moment is the Nanocam T55. This is the only mirror dashcam with 4K resolution, WiFi and GPS. The Nanocam T55 fits perfectly on any mirror and the large 9.66-inch LCD screen gives you perfect rear view. The Wifi allows you to view images on your phone within range of the camera.
It comes with GPS antenna so speed and locations are also tracked. A 32gb Micro SD card is included as standard so you can start filming straight away, but it supports Micro SD cards up to 128gb.
Number two | The 4 best mirror dashcams
The latest mirror dashcam from AZDome is this AR09 QuadHD. The AZDome AR09 is one of the most fully featured mirror dashcams with a Wifi function that allows you to view recorded footage on your phone. Because of the large LCD screen, Wifi may be slightly less important than with a dashcam without an LCD screen, after all, you can also just view the footage on the screen. However, the app on your phone is usually more convenient than the dashcam's menu, making viewing a little easier.
Besides Wifi, you have the option of connecting a GPS antenna to the camera so that speed and locations are also tracked (optionally available). The AR09 also has a time lapse parking mode if you connect it with the optionally available Continuous power supply.
Number three | The 4 best mirror dashcams
The ThiEye Carview 4 was the first 4K mirror dashcam. The recordings are therefore of outstanding quality both during the day and at night. The design of the mirror is pleasant and easy on the eye. When connected with the optional Hardwire kit, the ThiEye Carview 4 also has a convenient Time lapse parking mode that secures your car when parked.
The ThiEye Carview 4 comes standard with external GPS receiver so that the speed and locations of all recordings are tracked. Both cameras have a wide viewing angle of 170˚ so a large area around the car is captured and it supports Micro SD cards up to 128gb.
Number four | The 4 best mirror dashcams
This DDPai Mola E3 is another relatively new mirror dashcam. It stands out for its different look where the corners are a little less rounded than the models mentioned above. The image quality of this DDPai is very good due to its QuadHD resolution. Like the AR08, it is equipped with Wi-Fi so images can be viewed on your phone.
The camera viewing angles are 130˚ at the front and 125˚ at the back. This is slightly less than, say, the Carview 4. Also, you cannot connect a GPS on this model, therefore speed and locations cannot be tracked. The DDPai Mola E3 supports Micro SD cards up to 128gb that allow you to record about 6 hours of QuadHD videos.
