The reason the rear camera video feed looks brown isn’t because your windows tinted - it’s because you didn’t take off the brown colored protective piece of plastic on the front of the lens.
For the power, You can get a connect for the fuse box, an inline fuse, cut the power cable head off and wire it direct power to a spare fuse port and not have to run the wire down to the dash.
Thank you so much. This is an excellent device for the money but the documentation provided by the manufacturer is pretty abysmal. Your video quickly cleared up a couple of questions I had regarding some of the features... You rock!
TTTTTHANK YOU! MINE WILL BE HERE FRIDAY... YOUR REVIEW JUST MADE ME THAT MUCH MORE EXCITED👍🏽😛👍🏽😛👍🏽
Get the hardwire option.
Best Buy professionally installed mine, $160.00.
I don't recall you mentioning that you can change the length of your video recordings to 1, 2, or 3 minutes. I may not have heard it because you covered so much so quickly. I set mine to 3 minutes and it works great. Great tutorial for a great product. I have had mine for over a year and it works great but I still learned a couple of things here. Thanks for putting this on the Tube. Good job.
Great review!! Yeah can’t decide where to place camera and choose between the 10” or 12”
I heard some review that the 10" has more vertical length than 12" as described on Amazon. However, 10" cam has no voice control. Sometimes, it gets frozen up due to overheating and massive recording storage in SD card. The touchscreen becomes unresponsive but voice control works. Both will work without interfering your sun visors.
@Rob P which one did you end up getting? I cannot decide as well
@@ThaiNguyen-qf3no which one would you go for personally? Thanks
@@stephenfnd9370 go with the 12”. More viewing area.
@@stephenfnd9370 Hi, I bought 12”. Voice control is needed since you can say “take a photo” while you are driving and chasing a hit and run suspect :)
Excellent video. Amazon started this camera this morning Jan 4 for $109 with a $20 off coupon. Very great deal. Again, thanks for the video, was going to get the 609 until I saw this.
Buy the 612L from Best Buy , $199.00, and the $30.00, 2 year BB Warranty.
If anything fails, BB will replace at no charge.
BB will install for $160.00.
That’s also included in the Warranty.
Honestly, if your car doesn't have a backup camera, you should totally use the camera for it. I have it installed my my Corolla and the resolution is great.
One major drawback.
I love my VANTOP 612T.
I have a convertible Toyota Solara, it is impossible to see the video screen with the top down.
The glare completely washes out the video image.
However, I can adjust the Mirror by turning it and using just the normal reflection.
Otherwise, so far , Awesome!
Have you had an issue where the camera views just cycle and won't turn off? My dash cam cycles and cycles and then settles at the recorded videos then won't let me exit unless I restart it.
Ours worked great for one month. Now it won't even power on, even though we have it plugged into the battery/lighter port and the light is on indicating it's receiving power. Any ideas? This started in August, when we had to park the car outside instead of the garage. Is this the heat issue other spoke of?
Aloha. Thank you, nice review. I was stationed in Hawaii back in 1982-1985, Schofield Barracks, 125th Signal Bn, Helemano.
Good video. I just had this installed and so far, so good. Thanks for mentioning the ability to tilt the cameras up and down (I missed that looking through the manual).
Amazing video, shows and explains exactly what I'm looking for.~
The only thing that makes me hesitant is losing the automatic dimming function of my factory mirror. Seems like it could be really annoying at night with bright lights behind you.
It's darker than a normal mirror, almost like it's on dim mode on a normal mirror. It's almost too dark at night.
I have the H610, and can tell you the display, on full dim, is more comfortable than a dimmed normal mirror
I bought the VanTop H612T, but some functions do not run well. The equipment does not have a week of use and has already been defective. The equipment gets very hot. Perhaps for that reason, you will also stop filming. Performs functions that are disabled, such as emergency shooting, without permission. I am using a quality card, reliable manufacturer, 128Gb card with high speed.
This is what i was concerned with
Mine also gets insanely hot, and I imagine it could be a fire hazard if left on for long periods of time. Given that the rear camera view simply will not tilt upward when I slide my finger up the left side of the screen, it would be an understatement to say I am a dissatisfied buyer.
I know those Mountains! Looks like Hawaii! I love it! Good info, thank you.
I just bought mine last weekend and I like it... I have a questions can I maintain recording it? I don't like it every 1 minutes or 5 minutes 😕
Dam good video!!
What flat out kills this thing, full stop, is the external GPS with that honking huge long wire.
If GPS can be crammed into a cell phone or an itty bitty dashcam body, it sure as hell can fit in that thing which is... what... 3x the size of a typical cell phone?
I recently got one and thought the same thing.
Good narration. You brought up some good points. Thanks for posting.
I pushed my 128 card down into the slot, I felt the spring and I heard it click. The card fell right out. Isn't it supposed to lock in and then you push it again to remove it?
The release mechanism for the Card is awful.
Needs to be redone.
You don’t push down to release, you put your fingernail under the top side of the card and pull up.
Good luck!
Once the back up camera gets damaged you are done is really hard to find and if you take it to a radio car shop they gonna try to charge you $75 just to check the cable for the back up camera.
Great explanation.Very nice.
Excellent review, thanks. But wish you'd covered the GPS more. A working GPS letting me map a route to a distant location is a must-have for me. (Yes, I know smart phones have that feature.)
Read comment from Edward Ingram.
Read the Amazon reviews first, especially the 1 Stars. Seems to do not do well in high or really cold temps.
Did u buy this
Thats true. Mines malfunction alot in hot temperatures
Hi, can it be a normal mirror while still recording the front? And do you need to install the rear one? I want to use for front only. Thanks
Just bought it and installed it. So, the main job of the mirror is mirroring things behind you. I just can't believe that if I put it to a sleep mode, putting the reverse the image don't go on...Only if the mirror cam is on (and in that case I dont have a mirror because it's shows it's icons) it automaticly switch to the back camera, once I insert the reverse..Does your mirror dash cam is showing automatically the reverse picture when you insert the reverse IN CASE YOU HAVE SWITCHED THE MODE TO HAVE ONLY THE MIRROR or you need to turn it on like me in order to see the reverse picture, but in that case the mirror is ON with it's icons so you can't see the things behind your car? Tnx
♡ Love it Very Sturdy.
Can you leave the GPS out would it still work
Does this have parking assistance? I don't see any of the auxiliary lines when viewing the rear camera.
What's the fps when on 1080p ?
Thank you
Thanks for the advice guys
Good morning do you think is a big difference on resolution between vantop h612t vs h612, I just like to know if it actually worth it pay 60 dollar more for the 4k resolution
I am not sure uf this problem ever happened to other vantop users that the clock/time does NOT stay on current time. That's why before I drive my car I have to adjust the time to the current one. I hope other users noticed this problem.
It is the problem of the time zone, correct the time zone in the GPS settings, and let it same as your local city time.
Hi could you make a video on the GPS Player software when viewing the recordings on a computer. Thanks
Hey man nice video! I have one of these and somehow the rear camera became unfocused and I was wondering if there was a way to manually focus the rear camera? I don't have the red wire hooked up if that matters
why the rear camera not come with license plate mounting bracket? can you ask them?
Great video thank you.
One more subscriber😎👌🏼
Great video. Thank you. Do you think the mounting system would hold up to light off-roading in a Jeep?
hey chip, it won't. but with a custom mount it would: czcams.com/video/TqSLGVROlEA/video.html
Remember, if your vehicle shakes, you’ll have Video that shakes.
This video is outdated and doesn’t contain the 2nd drop down menu that has the Region’s for setting the time.
Model 612L
can you switch off GPS speed >??
Wich se card do u recommend for this dash cam I have tried a few but it ses speed to slow or something else so I wonder wich se card it will work perfectly with this dash cam thank u
Are there software updates and if so, do I really have to update?
I have dexterity problems with my hands, I had Best Buy install.
just the thought of me trying to remove this mirror and update makes cringe.
I’m buying this when I get my car
How good it looks at night?
Very informative. Thanks
How do you keep if from draining the battery when the car is off? This is one of my concerns.
I noticed that you did not hardwire. What the parking mode still work?
u should have shown installation
I got one of these for my Subaru Ascent and for the most part, I’m pretty happy with it. My only complaints are…
1. The Voice Activated/Command feature needs more work. It triggers at the most innocuous words while carrying on a conversation in the car.
2. It seems to have a mind of its own as it switches between cameras and other weird behavior.
3. It doesn’t seem to have a directional compass readout which I did have with my stock Subaru mirror. I miss that-especially on road trips.
By the way, can anyone tell me what the yellow progressing bar on the rear camera display does?
Otherwise, nice dashcam!
The yellow bar means it is recording an emergency (write protected) video. If it appears very often, set a lower sensitivity on the g-sensor
How do you do to watch the videos in the computer? What app do you use ? I have tried many apps and I can’t do it work. Thanks.
Videos play when you find the card on your, My Computer Icon.
Plays when you click on play.
Is this camera even legal? It is so huge. I thought the limit was 5 square inches for cams mounted in the top center part of the windshield.
It's basically functioning as a rearview mirror. There is no obstruction. The ones that that rule is for are the ones you stick on your windshield or dashboard.
Performs adequately. I am using an obd adapter for power. I have wired the red wire from the backup camera to the backup lights. The first time I started the car, the dashcam came on. However it hasn't started with engine start subsequently. Further it has never switched to backup cam when put in reverse. Also, it fails to go into parking mode unless turned off manually. When played back, video is jerky and audio is unintelligible. Furthermore, the gps is so slow in updating, I can drive my grandson to school and back and speed still shows 0 when I get back. My Garmin gps updates very fast. There are probably much better brands. Wouldn't recommend this one.
What does the lock hot key do and what is the yellow bar that pops up
Test the DVR in the mirror Mio R46 GPS records sound in Stereo with microphones and speaks Loudly bought in DNS for 6000 rubles there is no rear camera
I have this dashcam and I keep getting messages that pop up saying that the sd card is bad and I have to keep reformatting it. I have tried two different sd cards so far. Which one do you use?
Today mine kept saying there was no MSD Card. I had to pop it back it in and it worked. It was working fine for the last 4 days. I wonder if this is an issue for these or if another MSD card is preferable. Not sure what mine is.
Is this a 4k resolution? Can I find it on Amazon?
How is the rear cam at night?
My camera comes on out of no where when I click the button under the camera not to show the video while driving. Can anyone tell me how stop it from coming on?
Looks great, I wonder if there’s a full mirror replacement instead of a mirror cover
Not just put on top the other rear view mirror
Hi there can you please tell me if you get this message when you leave your mirror dash cam in parking..... notice Number of parking mode file detected
Is this better than the Akaso?
how does this one compare to the AUTO-VOX V5
The back Up camera got wet and now It doesn’t work :( what should I do??
Is it battery or supercapasitor powered?
great job am still trying to decide were to place the back camera :(
We just got this for my son. He placed it inside the rear windshield (Toyota Avalon). Cars are a lot closer than they look in the dash cam. So if it looks like there are 5 lengths between you and the car behind you, it's more like 2. When cars come up beside you to pass on the highway, it's more accurate. You can always do a reality check in the side view mirror. The good thing about this placement is that there is no blind spot. When you don't see the car in the dash cam, you see it right beside you. This all may be true if you place it outside on the back of car, just not sure. In my Toyota Highlander, the cheap back up camera is placed outside and only works when backing up. Objects are a lot closer than they appear too. Two other good things about placing it inside is, depending where you live, you won't have to unpack snow for it to work and you don't have to worry about someone clipping it off and stealing it. Other points about placing it inside: you get glare from and reflections, when it rains or snow, visibility is markedly reduced as you are seeing the wet back windshield (but this could also be true if placing it outside.)
How much battery it sucks out
What is the red flashing light? I drove my husband's truck today that I rarely drive. I didn't know if it meant to do something, or not. Thanks.
means it’s recording
There's a few things about this camara that really disappointed me. The glare is so horrendous during a sunny day that I can see NOTHING of the images captured by the camaras. Not a deal breaker. I just keep it in "sleep mode" and let it record while I use it as a mirror. The down side with that is that it doesn't have the ability to dim the bright headlights from behind at night. I'll likely can this camara for the more conventional style.
Does it beep when I get too close to an object?
128GB card is the biggest size? ??
A notification shows on my screen it says “your Card’s speed is too low please replace soon “ and because of that it doesn’t records what should I do?
I had this on a 64gb sd card, I got a new 32gb one and worked fine then
If you haven't already, I've read a high endurance micro sd card is most ideal since the footage is going to be constantly looping. The most the dashcam will support is 128gbs. Just ordered a sandisk high endurance 128gb micro sd card on amazon for $22. Hopefully that helps your issue.
Hi i like your video. One question. Do i have to buy Dash Cam Hardwire Kit, I’m a little confuse. Or if not. Does everything i need to set up just buy only that one box of the mirror sash cam?
Hardware kits are only needed if you want to plug it into the car's fuse box for the purpose of utilizing the "Parking Guard" feature. Otherwise you just use the typical car charger plug that's included. Nothing else is needed.
Does it support a 256 SD?
Great video. Does the back up camera pop up automatically when cars put in reverse?
listen to 2:30
Hello, thanks for the information, very good video for people who want to buy one of these cameras in Amazon. Some questions are the rear camera resistant to water and low temperatures to install it outside and not inside and how does the GPS work.
It is used as a backup camera at license plate so I would say yes. GPS is actually just a speed recording nothing else. One of the important point is sometimes it gets overheated if sits outside on sunny days and is frozen (touch screen is unresponsive), but voice control stills work.
The are waterproof by design and temperature proof since installing outside the vehicle is the most effective way
I'm using this vantop now. But the problem is the time changes. So I have to adjust to the current time everytime I drive. How can I make the time steady. Any suggestions.
It is the problem of the time zone, correct the time zone in the GPS settings, and let it same as your local city time.
How about the GPS? Does it work?
How can I put it on mirror mode manually
Can the rear camera be setup to where if i want to view what's behind me I'm able to on the fly at any moment without having to back up? (actually i think u did explain in the video)
yes that is possible, just swipe the mirror
Thanks for the review!
Can it be used as a front parking cam?
Thanks
Yes
I have this mirror. Can some one tell me how to keep the correct date
Question, what is the gps for? Does it navigate you to places?
Locate your car
It probably stamps location info onto video so hopefully accurate data if accident or something happens. It may also determine your speed also, so don't speed with it Lol!
I didn't see it mentioned but why is the rear camera reversed? What's on your left is really on your right. That is horrible tell me there is a mirror image flip. If so where?
Or you can remove the rear camera and using a razor knife separated the rear body from the camera and rotated it
The rear camera is detachable and manually rotates 180 degrees
@@sophia783 I said it was flipped... not upside down. Huge difference. No one understands what reverse imaging is? Letters read backwards. So stop signs says POTS
If I wanted to could I use this as a mirror replacement and not as a cover?
Yes! It is a Mirror that goes over your existing Mirror.
I can't find anywhere how long the cable for the rear is. Can you check for me?
23 feet
Anyone know how to stream media?
Convertible, with my top down, the glare is such that the video screen for the back camera is completely washed out.
You can see nothing.
Top up, video is acceptable.
Anybody have the touchscreen not work??!!??? Please?
This is very interesting. I know you mentioned that if it's off it still kind of acts like a rearview mirror as well as the back camera, but to me that seems like it defeats the purpose of a "rearview" mirror. Is there a way to put it on the dashboard instead? I think that's how I would use it. Just 3D print some brackets and put it on the dashboard.
But other than that, great video man, keep up the good work!
I have factory backup camera separately and use it as a rearview mirror so I can see you five lanes on freeways including blind spots. By the way, on Amazon they have a kind of bracket that you can mount it just below your original mirror if you want. I do not recommend it as the original mirror may get heavier and sagged down due to gravity.
U sound like my husband,question what is a purpose of that mirror, when i have a back camera when i reverse and to change lanes u got to move your own head on your own neck.if it was illegal they would not sell it,we had a fight about it,but i am not return it.i live it and want to keep it
What if you have tint windows can you install it rear camera inside
Good question
Does anyone know how to rotate the video? Mine is rotated 90 clockwise after I was adjusting the mirror. Have no idea what I did as it was fine before!
You may rotate your rear camera The rear camera is detachable, you can manually rotate 180 degrees according to your needs.
can you do a gps video with the mirror i want to buy one for a road trip and im not sure if its a good idea
GPS, just gives you your vehicle speed.
@@jiml8715 That's incorrect. It also provides meta-data on the videos that shows you the location of the vehicle, on a map, that coincides with the video footage.
mine died after 9 months. ZERO SUPPORT
How do you connect the GPS to my phone?
My mirror quit working, how would I still use the gps, or is that not possible?
I wonder if this would fit nicely on a car with on star mirrors
Does the sd card have to be formatted before use?
