The new Rear View Mirror camera is a product which private investigators or bail enforcement may find useful. This is actually a two camera system. In addition to the front mirror mounted camera, there is a rear camera which can be mounted on the rear deck. This second camera also has the option of being wired or wireless!
The front camera unit is a built-in 1/4" digital color CMOS unit. There is a slot which will accept an SD card up to 16 GB, the unit is shipped with an 8 GB card. The front camera will also swivel 330 degrees allowing you to record either outside or inside the vehicle. This little jewel also has a built-in microphone allowing you record audio.
The mirror itself has a 3.6" LCD display in the center. You can playback and view or you can view in real time. There is a manual switch to choose either the front or rear camera. And talk about ease of installation, the unit simply clips to the existing mirror in the vehicle!
The camera is powered by a built-in Lithium battery allowing you about 3 hours of recording time per charge. The camera can be run off the vehicles cigarette lighter and is charged when plugged into your computer via the USB cable.
This camera is super easy to use and the picture quality is extremely good. This is not exactly a "hidden camera", but it is very discreet. Most people probably wouldn't notice it. Applications? Bail enforcement can have a record of events and conversations during prisoner transport. Private investigators could possibly use this camera for surveillance using the audio to record comments or notes. The only drawback here would be this camera has no zoom feature. Still...the applications are only limited by your imagination!
