Can a streaming rearview mirror function as a dash cam?

[CassidyAnn]

A streaming rearview mirror cannot serve as a dash cam. The primary function of a streaming mirror is to display real-time images from behind the vehicle, requiring good camera exposure and real-time performance, but it does not meet the high recording standards of a rear-facing dash cam. Currently, most streaming rearview mirrors on the market do not come with a front-facing camera. A dash cam is a device that records video, audio, and other relevant data during vehicle operation. Once installed, it captures the entire driving process in video and audio, providing evidence in case of traffic accidents. It can also be used as a DV camera to record daily life or serve as a home surveillance device, and it can function as a parking monitor. Importantly, the recorded footage from a dash cam must not be edited, as tampering would render it useless for determining liability in accidents.
