I bought an aftermarket camera that's like ford's, but it just slips over the old mirror. Thing is great, shoots 4k and is not integrated to the car's system. Also has voice commands, so its super easy to use the real mirror or any other functions. Screen in the mirror is the way.

Are you saying that you’re watching 4K video from your rear view camera in a 1.5in screen or it’s a dash cam?

[ctf1er]

Yeah it's a dashcam, records 4k in the front, and 2.5k the rear camera. I'm sure the screen is much less, but looks great on my tv.

I’d rather have a nice bright (in the dark) camera with a wide field of view that’s only 480p.

Can you show me the camera and how it's integrated in the car?

[ctf1er]

It's a Kingslim DL12 and is powered through the cigarette lighter or directly connected.

Does this mean you have a wire hanging from your mirror at all times? Also how is the back one connected?

[throw1234651234]

Not him, but the wire goes up into the ceiling plastic and around the side, under the plastic, and only comes out around the cigarette lighter. The "back" camera is usually built into the same unit. The advantage over what he is describing is that people often break into cars to steal the more visible (non-mirror) cameras.

Yep, other guy is correct, and wires were my first concern, but they are long and you just shim them in between the panels around and down the windows. Same with the back, but there you might have to get more creative running the wire and mounting the camera depending on vehicle.
