How do I remove the mirror image to use the camera on the front?

Unfortunately this camera is fixed in mirror mode. There are some that include an additional wire that can be used to select non-mirror mode but not this model. However if you buy a made-for-cars monitor display you may find the monitor can be configured to switch the image, in which case the picture reverts the normal. After trying maybe a dozen different made-for-car cameras I gave up and bought an HD camera like the Go Pro. This gave a much more satisfactory picture under a wider range of condition. This particular camera failed after six hours of use.

You can pull the eyecup off the mount that slides onto the camera and reverse it. I use my left eye also.Good Luck

I first thought of a dash mount, but the camera is designed to use a windshield mount, and too much retrofit to change it. Once I tried the windshield mount provided and mounted it just in front of the rear view mirror, I've been satisfied. Give it a try. If it's not what you want or like, you can return it for something else.

On the right of the mirror there are two screws. Turn them clockwise 90 degrees (a dime works nicely) and the mirror will lift off. After replacing the batteries put the mirror back in place and turn the screws counter-clockwise (a light pressure on the mirror will hold it in place until the screws are turned.

Depends on what you mean by 'front'. As you hold it up with the screen facing you, the camera points in the same direction as you're looking. So you have to turn it around to take a selfie. And then you can't see the screen.

This camera has a button to adjust the setting on it. You will need to play with it to adjust. Sounds like you have it set on mirror which is reverse.

OK, I hooked the camera up and it is not in "reverse mode", it is not like you are looking in the rear view mirror, how do you swith it to be like you are looking in the rearview mirror?

The camera has its own power in the back of the car and mirror requires power in front of car you don't need to run wires from the back to the front

To be honest with you you can't. Sorry. And even if you could the camera would be upside down. The only solution to that is To make a slot on the other side of the oh you can flip it around

The image is reversed for me as well, this camera came with a hole saw that was not correct as well. Useless as front camera.

The glass shield has a self adhesive on it's back. Remove plastic and position on the camera, remembering you can only do this once.

It isn't necessarily of just yourself, but because the camera is on the front, you simply have to turn it around to take a picture. Not the best way to take a good picture, but it can be done.

Unfortunetly I haven't figured that out myself. I only installed the camera 2 days ago and am working out the details right now. I am going to have a friend translate the on screen menu so I can figure out how to use it better

There is a decal on the front of the camera that you have to peel back to reveal a screw.

Hi. I too received a Reverse only camera with no way to switch to Front mode. Ask Amazon for refund. This is definitely a wrong description of the item and needs to be removed or corrected.

Loosen two knurled nuts on the bracket that holds the camera with a suction cup to the windshield,point the camera in the direction you want and retighten the nuts,that's all.

You are right- You will want to remove it carefully. It takes some prying. There are clasps that also hold the mirror. But I didn't break anything removing the old one and this was my first time doing it.
