What is the Difference Between a Dash Cam and a Streaming Media Mirror?
2 Answers
In addition to the traditional basic functions of a dash cam, a streaming media rearview mirror has several core features, such as ultra-high-definition and distortion-free imaging. 1. What is a streaming media rearview mirror: A streaming media rearview mirror involves installing a high-definition external rear camera on the rear of the car, which captures the situation behind the vehicle and displays the image on the rearview mirror, fully presenting real-time road conditions behind the car. The advantage of a streaming media rearview mirror is that it can transmit clear images to the driver even in poor lighting conditions or when the rear view is obstructed, greatly enhancing driving safety. 2. Additional functions of streaming media: Besides ensuring driving and parking safety, a streaming media rearview mirror can also expand the visible range of the rearview mirror, offering a very wide rear view without distortion. Even under strong lighting conditions, the rearview mirror can still present a clear field of vision. Driving in rainy or hazy weather does not obstruct the view at all, allowing for the most realistic road conditions to be displayed. Tests conducted on roads without any lighting show that the surrounding environment can be clearly seen. 3. What is a dash cam: A dash cam is an instrument that records images, sounds, and related information during vehicle travel. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process, including video images and sounds, providing evidence for traffic accidents. People who enjoy road trips can also use it to document their journey through challenging terrains. While driving, it continuously records video, along with time, speed, and location data, functioning much like a 'black box'.
I've replaced recording devices several times before. The dash cam is like a mini camera mounted on the windshield, with its main task being video recording for evidence. The streaming media rearview mirror directly replaces the traditional mirror inside the car, connecting to a rear camera to transmit real-time footage onto the mirror surface. At red lights, a quick glance shows the movements of vehicles behind clearly. Once during heavy rain, the traditional rearview mirror couldn't show anything, but the streaming media still displayed a clear image—this all-weather feature is truly practical. In case of a scrape dispute, both can retrieve recordings. However, installing the streaming media requires wiring to the rear of the car, which is more troublesome, but it offers better collision prevention.
