" ... This will help you orient the camera after you’ve adjusted your rearview mirror. ... However, the new backup camera has a higher resolution and its angle can be adjusted, so it's worth swapping out. ... It’s a lot better than the resolution of the rear camera from the original Z2 model. ... When watching the rear camera feed on the computer, note that it is a mirror image. ... With the rear camera you don’t quite see as much detail until there’s a lot of ambient light and the image is much more grainy. ... The quality of the video and audio are really good and the camera works about as well as I expected. ... "
" ... When the car is in reverse the rear view as seen by the rear camera is visible in the rear view mirror, saving you from having to turn around. ... "
" ... So far I love this camera, it was easy to set up and the display works great. ... "
" ... The options of having front, back or both cameras show in the screen is nice, but for me, too much to take in at a glance. ... "
" ... I actually use the backup camera as an in-cab camera so I'm happy about being able to place it where I want and even unplug it and not use it if that's what I prefer. ... "
" ... This dual-camera DVR system is great. ... "
" ... It also contains back camera (Which I haven't installed yet ). ... "
" ... Next, I took on the installation of the rear camera… ... "

" ... It's really important that the camera is center, angled downward, and perpendicular for the guidelines to look correct on the screen. ... "
" ... The resolution is great. ... The options of having front, back or both cameras show in the screen is nice, but for me, too much to take in at a glance. ... "
" ... And when shifting to reverse, sometimes it takes a second for the screen to switch to reverse, but for the price - for a front and rear camera - this thing seems totally unbeatable. ... "
" ... The screen is large and very bright - easy to see even in daylight conditions, with a much wider viewing angle than the inexpensive one. ... It has many other features, and a much more intuitive on-screen menu. ... the screen is bright and viewable in all conditions ... "
" ... Screen display is good. ... "
" ... The rear view mirror reduces glare at night too, which is a bonus. ... Some others have commented about the screen being horizontally polarized, which is also true. ... "
" ... High-end Anti-glare IPS screen panel’s great viewing angle makes details clearly while reversing. ... "
" ... and a rearview mirror with an integrated screen. ... "

" ... The audio in the video is always going to be the same for the front and rear camera feeds over the same period of time. ... "
" ... This becomes the REAL mirror then, it is attached to two cameras, one facing forward and the other rear facing and it records both views in the event of an accident or seeing something suspicious while you're driving (so it will capture a license plate, a person, etc.). ... When the car is in reverse the rear view as seen by the rear camera is visible in the rear view mirror, saving you from having to turn around. ... "
" ... Records very clear video, both front and rear. ... "
" ... With the Z-Edge, the rear camera is actually a USB camera (as opposed to the Analog video on the previous unit from a different company). ... "
" ... Next, I took on the installation of the rear camera… ... "
" ... The front and rear camera both works perfectly during the day and night. ... "
" ... The front camera looks great. ... "
" ... The picture quality of this unit is the best I have seen to include the rear view camera. ... "

" ... Hiding the cables under the trim and ceiling panels was the trickiest part, but only takes about 15 minutes and can be done with just a screwdriver (or nylon spudger) to lift the trim. ... "
" ... The mirror is quite large and the rear view connecting cable is long to connect. ... "
" ... On the other hand, it also have a lot of stuff inside the box such as memory card, fixture and cable. ... "
" ... Oh yea, the wires are really looooooong. ... "
" ... They sent me new cable with new rear camera and i am waiting for it . ... "
" ... AFTER FEW DAYS WORKS AWESOME, MAYBE NOT THE BEST LOOKING, THE CABLE CAN BE SHORTER OR WITH A BETTER CONECTION BECAUSE IN MY CASE I WANT TO USE THE REAR CAMERA FOR INTERIOR CABIN CAMERA, BUT AT THIS POINT I LOVE IT ... "
" ... I also like the fact I did not have to hard wire, bolt, screw, or modify any part of the car to install as the rear camera fit perfectly inside the camera mount already on the rear wing (with a custom mounting bracket I made) and wiring went through grommet already existing in firewall. ... "
" ... So, when I got my original unit, I wanted to shorten the rear camera cable, so I cut and spice the chord, something I've done a million times. ... "

" ... The sticker I used with the previous camera held up well for over a year so I'm confident I won't need the screws. ... "
" ... This system fit the bill perfectly for what I was wanting! ... "
" ... And it doesn't require drilling any holes in my trunk at all!! ... "
" ... I really help me to protect my car. ... "
" ... I was worried the mirror is too big for a Jeep JK, and it's on the verge of it but it's awesomeness makes up for it. ... I stripped back the red, took the harness apart and tucked the skiner in the socket before reconnecting the harness. ... Before connecting it, I was able to route it through the stock rear bumper. ... "
" ... This Z-Edge Z2 Plus is only better and more improved than the first generation dash cam mirror. ... "
" ... Before purchasing the Z-Edge Z2 Plus, I owned 4 dash cams. ... I can very comfortably say this is by far the best dash cam I have ever had. ... "
" ... I also like Z-edge to make a permanent mirror attachment type of unit instead of clipping the mirror on my existing on, although this is just a minor issue. ... "
