Great product. Overall one of the best products I have purchased. There were a few things I would have had it different but for the money you spend you are getting an awesome deal.
Things to know and these are important.
Pros :
Fabulous Design , Blue tint adds a glamorous look.
Responsive Touch screen and the icons are simple and elegant.
Video quality great on the front camera 1080p and vga for rear camera.
Never had issues so far on software or any glitches .
Easy to install , fits well on top of the existing mirror and stable.
Cons or minor issues :
Auto power off doesn't work when recording video so u will have to manually turn of the video after it starts everytime your engine starts if u don't want to see the video all the time while driving .
I wired it to the existing power from the mirror which is about 12v usually but you will need a voltage regulator ($15) to step it down to 5V because this camera needs 5V. This is shown on my pictures but it's pretty easy to wire it as I didn't want to have it powered by the cigarette outlet and wires hanging around .
The back up camera doesn't show moving lines and always shows a STOP label and doesn't have any guiding as opposed to the picture posted on the description and doesn't look anything like that so please look at the picture I posted to see how it looks but it's not a big deal.
These are minor issues and don't affect functionality and I am very satisfied with this product . Five stars all the way.
Update : after using for two weeks found out that it only records the front camera and not both cameras which is kinda sad .
I got two of these for installation into our Toyota Sienna minivan and Yaris. The provided cable for the rear camera was long enough for both vehicles. I ran the wires under the headliner along the edges behind the trim so nothing is loose or dangling.
On the minivan the provided power adapter cord was a little short and unable to reach the cigarette lighter port if I routed the cable behind the headliner and trim.
The mirror is quite large and some might find that distracting. But being so large it also entirely hides the original mirror making it look more factory installed than some cheap $35 aftermarket accessory.
The blue tint is great at night and not too distracting in the day. If the sun is behind you the tint is quite nice.
I had to set the vibration sensor to low, otherwise it would lock videos when driving over larger bumps. But I wonder how well the parking monitor will work in the low setting. They should add different sensitivity settings for parking vs driving.
Overall it works as advertised, exceeded my expectations and has been a great upgrade for my older vehicles.
I got this on a lightning deal about two weeks ago, but even at full price, it's still hard to beat. Installation was pretty easy and straight forward. I wasn't sure it would fit in my 2004 Suburban, but not only did it fit over the stock OnStar equipped mirror, the rear camera cable was plenty long enough to reach all the way back with a bit left over so I could re-position it if I want. The image quality is much better (1080 front 720 rear) than other dash-cams I've had in the past, and the color stability/rendering is pretty good, even under rapidly changing light conditions. The night vision is acceptable, but not extraordinary. The ability to switch view between front only, front with rear PIP, front-rear split and rear only is really nice!
Minor issues - as there always are with something this inexpensive. The maximum loop-recording interval is three minutes. Three minutes seems more appropriate as a minimum, but I can understand the need to keep file size as small as possible. The rear camera can be installed in only one orientation. There is no provision to flip the image if you install it upside down. Recording (as far as I've been able to find) is front-camera only. I have not found a setting that lets me change to record PIP, even though I have the picture-in-picture on display almost all the time. At times, the rear camera does not come on. I have to re-plug it in to get it come on - but not all the time. The slot for the microSD card is set a bit too deep to make insertion or removal an easy thing without an extra tool and it is totally impossible without dismounting the mirror completely. There is a bit of a warp to the mirror itself, and the tint is a bit darker than I would like. The touch-screen can be a bit finicky at times - sometimes it doesn't register, sometimes it thinks a single-touch is a double-tap.
Despite all of those minor issues, I still think it's a pretty good setup and I would get another one for my other car. I just want to give a good long-term (a year or more) test first.
Updated Review:
I've been using this MC100 dashcam for almost a month now and I'm loving it. The camera is excellently sharp and clear at day time, a little grainy at night time but still better compared to other dashcam in same price range.
For unknown reasons, my screen blanks out with line on left side. I did everything turn off & on, pinched the reset button, unplugged & plugged the power supply and still no display. I emailed the support and the response was really fast. I told them my problem and did all the possible solution but no success. Wilbur (support tech) told me he will send me a new unit and I received the new unit now. I am very happy and satisfied with the dashcam and the customer support is very excellent. Dudubell thank you very much. 101% will recommend your product.
Old Review:
My old dashcam died and replaced it with Dudubell 4.3". I'm not expecting to much from this dashcam but I am surprised with the image quality. The dashcam itself was well build.
I have some few concerns about the dashcam and the agent help me out. The product and after sales is excellent. Will recommend 100%
The video quality is very good. I took a picture at night time and as you can see, the mirror looks bright and clear. The product feels well built and high quality material. This camera also records with a smaller camera that is placed at the rear of the car.

I am Extremely happy with this Dash Cam with Enhanced Night Vision combo. The image quality during day and night is crystal clear.
The Touch screen mirror looks and works beautifully. The INSTALLATION is very simple.
CUSTOMER service very PROMPT
This mirror dash cam is amazing for the price and I am highly impressed! I bought this one because it was not too expensive, but had really cool features. The touch screen works well and the camera is clear. I love that it includes a dash cam as well as a camera for backing up. The mirror also looks really stylish in my car. It is tinted blue and looks really cool.
10 stars for the price you can’t beat paying $40 for the camera it comes behind the mirror and they send you an extra one to install on the back of your car / truck! It comes with all the wiring and a manual book so you can try wiring the camera on your own. I will be taking mine for someone to wire it for me and will be updating to see how the cameras worked but so far so good great for the price.
When I put this on my car rear mirror, it looks so big. It made my view of the back much wider. I love the color coding on the mirror, it helps to block some of the shining headlights from behind when driving at night. The touch screen feature is sensitive and I can just touch the mirror when I need to change settings and stuff. The only bad thing is that it leaves fingerprints on the mirror in which I have to clean it off whenever it gets too oily. The picture qualities of day and night is good, 1080p is good enough for the camera to see everything clearly.
