【In-Car】Be cautious of accidents during the long holiday! A digital mirror that simply overlays the factory mirror reduces blind spots

This season, car travel increases due to trips and homecomings. To enhance nighttime and rear visibility, a digital mirror might be convenient after all. The easy-to-install model that simply overlays the factory mirror is also recommended for first-time users.

User-friendly even for first-timers, high-performance digital mirror

At night, of course, and even during the day, the rear view was slightly hard to see, causing some anxiety for the author. What I found during such times was the digital mirror "MR-C001" by the car accessory brand MAXWIN.

With a large 10.88-inch screen and a rear camera that can be installed inside or outside the car, it significantly reduces blind spots. Despite its high functionality, it also offers excellent cost performance and can be installed simply by covering it over the original mirror. It seems safe to use even for a first-time digital mirror debut.

High-resolution & smooth video

The rear camera supports high resolution 1080P and 60fps, providing smooth and natural video. With HDR+WDR features, it clearly displays scenes with contrasting light and shade, reducing overexposure at tunnel entrances and nighttime blackouts. The color reproduction is also good, delivering bright and clear video with low noise even at night.

Wide visibility to cover blind spots

The wide-angle rear camera displays the rear in real time clearly. It also allows for an expanded display range to effectively cover blind spots. By the way, the rear camera is available in two models: "for inside the car" and "for outside the car."

Operation is via a touch panel that can be used like a smartphone. It can be intuitively used without complex settings, so there's no confusion even when first introducing a digital mirror.

Automatically linked to reverse gear

When the gear is put in reverse, it automatically switches to the rear camera and displays the guideline. The guideline and camera angle can be freely adjusted up and down, left and right.

Installation is simply done by securing it with rubber. Since there is no camera on the main unit, it looks neat and tidy.
