Video Transcript for Review of Rear View Safety Backup Camera - Rear View Mirror With Monitor - RVS-718

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Rear-View Safety Rear-View Mirror with Monitor. Now, this is gonna be a really great option for you to consider if you're looking to add a backup camera system, but you don't wanna take up a space on your dash. You want this to be more of an OEM factory look instead. At first glance, this looks just like a standard rear-view mirror. The difference is that there is a hidden 4.3-inch screen built right into the mirror, and on your screen, I'm including a few images that we've taken with this thing activated so you can see what it's gonna look like with that monitor activated.

So, when you're driving normally this is just gonna function as a factory mirror, but as soon as the camera is activated, typically when you put your vehicle in reverse, the display is going to appear in the mirror and it's going to show you the camera view. And then once you are done, the screen's gonna disappear and go back to being just this regular mirror, as you see here. Now, one of the things that many like most about this is just the clean setup that you're gonna get here. Since the monitor is built into the mirror, you're not going to have another screen taking up space on your dashboard or windshield. This is going to give you the benefits of a backup camera while keeping the interior looking factory-installed.

And another nice benefit is this can also support up to two cameras, so you're not limited to just a rear backup camera. For example, you could use one camera at the back of your vehicle and another on a trailer in a cargo area or on the side of the vehicle, so that's a nice option to have with this as well. Another nice feature is this will have adjustable parking guidelines, so instead of being stuck with fixed lines that may not accurately represent your vehicle's path, those guidelines can actually be adjusted to better match the way that your vehicle's set up, and that's gonna make backing up and parking feel a lot more intuitive. Some measurements, looking at the overall width, about 10 1/2 inches. The overall height, about 3.15 inches.

It does include everything that you see here. This is not a clip-on mirror. This is actually going to replace your existing rear-view mirror, so it's gonna help maintain that OEM appearance. It's going to be fully adjustable like your factory mirror that you currently have. And once this is installed and connected to a compatible camera system, everything's gonna look and function like it came right from the factory.

Instructions will be included to guide you through that installation process along with some hardware. But if you're not really looking forward to doing the installation yourself, that's fine, because on this product page, typically underneath the photo section, we have a link that will take you to our Installer Locator. Click that link and answer the questions that it has for you and that locator will find an installer in your area that etrailer has partnered with to install this for you. Well, again, my name's Andy, thank you for joining.
