To start - as an instructor, low sun at this time of the year (autumn or indeed, spring) in the morning or evening is a total pain in the rear end. However, as I have to have a rear view mirror to see behind, I can't use the sun blind to help as this also causes the rear view mirror to be hidden. There was also a Dash Cam (not going to mention them by name (rhymes with 'text' and 'lace'), which needed replacing as it was complete $£!^. I saw another car on the road with a camera mirror and thought "Aha!". So off I start a searching for a rear view camera mirror and after trawling through Amazon review after Amazon review, I land on the Pelsee P12 Pro.It arrived and, whilst I knew it needed something to hold onto (it normally replaces the actual mirror in your car, in normal use), my little suction cup mirror was not up to the task of holding on to the Pelsee. So, a quick trip to Halfords and armed with a bigger suction mirror, proceeded to install the Pelsee. This was fairly painless as there is a device to push cables under the trim and it works well.I installed it as an instructor mirror to start with as I wanted to see how it would look and how it would perform. After a couple of emails back and forth with the amazing support team at Pelsee, I was able to set it up so that I had a view of the rear as I would with a regular mirror.This week, off I go with new electronic mirror in situ and so the testing started. Keep in mind that this review is from the perspective of a driving instructor, NOT my customers (who love the Pelsee it by the way).The width of the rear camera is excellent. It almost reaches the width of my door mirrors and allows me to see EVERYTHING behind, including what it right under the rear window. Night vision is also excellent and street lights bring the road alive. Obviously, there isn't anything one can do about country roads that are unlit. Damn you physics!As mentioned above, I had intended to then replace the internal rear view mirror with this but.. tiny points preclude me doing this - the width of the view of the camera means that objects such as other vehicles appear a little more distant than they really are if looking in a real, flat mirror. That makes judging for my customers, for example, when slowing down, a little more difficult. And that, is the only reason why I won't place it in the middle. For everything else, it is perfect.So, for other driving instructors, if you want to try this as a way of getting WAY more view of the rear of your vehicle, this Pelsee P12 Pro is 100% the way to go. It hasn't solved my being blinded by the sun, but it gives, by itself, more ability to duck behind the camera and not be blinded.As an experienced driver, I have quickly become accustomed to the distance objects behind are and that is no bother at all.Added bonus? It's a dash cam front and rear.I have tried using the memory card to read files. This is a problem for Mac users as it appears to be formatted in NTFS (a Windows file format for storage devices). I am currently installing some software to see if that allows access to the card and will update this review with my findings. So, for Windows users, I am expecting that all is OK, for Mac users, at the moment, not so much, which makes the Dash Cam part of this mirror, a little more of an annoyance when you want to use footage for lessons or to report some seriously suspect driving.Despite the file system problem, I already would not want to be without the mirror feature of this device and I am now on the look out for a proper method of attaching it to the Dashboard of the car so that I can use the sun blin. It's electronic, it can go anywhere. How's that for a feature.100% recommended for driving instructor use if you are interested.

Really recommend this. Partner for my van which doesn’t have windows the rear camera makes it much easier to do manoeuvers and see what’s behind you. The driver features like obstacle guidance and blindspot monitors also work really well only problem was that I didn’t have a rear view investigator to attach it to, so I bought a cheap one relationship and mounted on the dashboard which which can Get a bit hard to see when the Sun shines on it but in a normal car though would be fine. Criminal we get this month.

Camera was easy to set up and provides really good quality footage. Everything you need to get up and running is included in the box including a memory card which is a nice touch. The mirror has voice control and you can switch between having the screen off (which due to the reflective nature of the device acts like a normal mirror), front camera, rear camera or both cameras at once. Voice control is good and picks up the commands most of the time. Now the flaw... The rear camera has a built ins reversing camera mode and was one of the reasons I purchased this model. To use this, there is a red wire coming from the rear camera that gets connected to your reversing light positive terminal. When you activate reverse the camera flips into reverse mode and 2 grid lines are shown to assist with distance. These can be adjusted up and down to help perfect distance measurement but the width CANNOT be adjusted. So in my case, the guidelines are way narrower than the actual vehicle. Yes, you have your mirrors but it would have been good to be able to adjust the width too for extra reassurance for wide long vehicles. Be aware of this fact before you buy

The Pelsee P12 Pro is a really good quality 4K mirror dash cam. The dash cam is simple and easy to instal and fixes onto your existing mirror, it comes with a rear view camera, GPS sensor and 32GB memory card.The front facing camera records in 4K and the rear camera records in 2160P. The dash cam works as a mirror but can also function as a playback device too. When reversing it pulls through the camera feed onto the screen and it has loads of features that make it stand out from other dash cams in the same price bracket.Overall the device is great, it's ver easy to install, although the rear camera does still need to be wired up, so you may want to get a professional installation for that. That aside it's simple and easy to setup and use and it produces very high quality images both day and night.

The mirror looks quite nice. Nice and big and clear.The rear camera cable was more than long enough to reach the back of my hatchback. I think it's long enough for most if not all cars.The UI looks cheap and Chinese. The English is poor. The manual is short and not very useful.At least I can turn off the startup sound.The rear view angle isn't as wide as my car's reversing camera, but it's still a lot better than the rear view mirror.I was hoping I could use the blind spot monitoring as a cross traffic alert to tell me if there's a pedestrian or car behind me when I'm reversing, but it doesn't alert me in time for this to be useful.Most surprising, I can't connect to it using their app. This is very disappointing, especially for their most expensive "pro" model. Now I have to buy a micro SD card reader. And I won't be able to review footage at the time of a crash.In the day that I've had it, it's also crashed once. It rebooted quickly, so not the end of the world, but also not what you want to see in a device you can rely on.So basic functions are pretty good, but lots of things they could improve.
