Does this work as a review while driving down the road or just as a backup camera?

I use this in a commercial vehicle and it is wired so that it is on while driving down the road as well as backing up

Yes it does. I installed mine always on. You can't see very far behind the vehicle but it affords a great close in view. The only draw back can be some glare from the screen during night driving. I just turn it off if the glare is an annoyance.

Yes it does work as a review, really comes in handy. We are very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone.

When you're backing up and someone is in the rear by the camera acting as a ground guide, they can literally talk and you can hear them all the way up front through the camera which is integrated into the speaker. Its just a nice feature that I have so if someone doesn't have to yell at you from the back to the front. So my son told me go left and I heard em all the way out front through the camera speaker. While you're driving I suggest you volume down. Or you will hear wind.

Yes. It will also zoom in or out and can take still pics as well. I drive a lot on bad roads and the video is much better than you think. Is a great tool to have in ur car for an outstanding price. The only draw back is a 32 bit memory card will only record for about 3 to 4 hours before it is full. Try a 64 bit card for 6 to 8 hours of continues recording. Hope this helps!

I found mine works best in 'Sunshine' mode at night. Makes no sense but it is what it is. It still underwhelms at night but I suppose if there were an accident it would suffice to show fault. Forget reading license plates at night: this camera is just not up to the task.

I installed the wireless backup camera on my pickup truck and I do have a very good connection from the camera to the receiver (mounted on the left hand driver side).In my experience using this unit, I would say that this will work just fine with the travel trailer.

I use my mirror camera with my job as a transit driver to establish he/she said what. I keep the charging cord for this device plugged into the cigarette lighter at the bottom of the dashboard. To answer your question, the charging cord is sufficient. You have to keep the charging cord plugged in at all times if you want this thing to record. The battery onboard this device does not last very long.

yes it has a camera on the back of the unit and a camera for the reverse. you can record as you drive. check to make sure every thing works. easy install. finding a spot for the reverse camera will be your problem. sun light glare in the day time / light up the inside of your car at night. i hope this will help you , i love my unit. blue tooth was missing from my unit could not connect my phone. $ 20.oo to return it. out of pocket.

Nope you don't even have to be in gear for it to work. It is not designed to use as a rear view camera because the camera is not designed to be out in the elements. Plus the camera can't be that far from the receiver, the final reason this wouldn't work is the picture isn't that clear until you get the hitch closer to the receiver.

Yes. This unit has a wireless backup camera that works really good. It is just a little slow to switch to the camera but I have it mounted in a pickup truck with a metal cover. So, it might work a little differently than it would if mounted in the trunk of a car.However, I do not like the GPS. I live in a rural area and many of the roads are not located on the maps for the GPS. It might be better if you live in a metropolitan area. Wayne

The camera only works in the direction it is pointed, toward the road. It pivots, so you could turn it any direction.The recording is good for about 8 hours before it starts over. The memory is saved in 10 minute increments. So if I notice the actual time of an incident, it is easy to look up later. I have used it over a year and love it

The camera has an option to program your car's license plate # into it, and have that display as an 'overlay' on the recorded video. Not sure what benefit that provides, but it can be setup that way if you so please.

No, I don't think so, it does not work when the car is turned off, unless it is connected to an external power. So normally the car will almost on move when it is recording, and the motion detection function is not necessary.

I presume you are using while driving? Probably not the best idea if so. Regardless, tell me where you have mounted it, and at what angle are you viewing it?

It works just fine for looking out. I've been using it with my dashcam for awhile now. It is just put up with the flip tab facing toward the front of the car, opposite to the view in the product image here.

I'm assuming it does as the website says it comes with a camera. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-road/automotive/2013-line/nuvi-2798lmt-with-backup-camera/prod150565.html

No - it's just an analog composite video output to your head unit, so the camera has no idea where these objects are or in which direction the car is turning

Use the motion detection. The camera will stay on, but will not record.Another option, change the wiring of your car:-)
