AUTO-VOX V5 Mirror Dash Cam 1080P Dual Dash Cam Front

This dashcam has really integrated itself into my car, the wide angle rear view camera helps me see my blind spots with ease and the automatic reversing mode with the guidelines makes tail-in parking an effortless breeze. The support team has been wonderful with helping me fix some issues I had. I would highly recommend this to others like I have been doing to my friend and family.

Camera quality is pretty good, picture quality is pretty good, night vision is very good. The major issue I have is with the rear camera mounting bracket.

I’ve installed it on the window of a hatchback. It seems the designers never considered this use case, as the mounting bracket lacks a locking feature. Any time I close the boot, the camera position changes. So I close the boot softly, which lets the camera retain position, until I hit a speed bump. Which would be fine if all future action happens in the 3 square foot floorspace directly behind the car. Maybe this issue doesn’t happen if you install it on the bumper, but I’ve yet to try that.

If you’re also going to be installing it on a hatchback window, considered buying a packet of blu-tack for the bodge job fix of the bracket.

I’ve had this camera some time now, Easy to use. works if you hook it to main power directly but does randomly turn itself off periodically. I think it picks up a power drop or spike as you rev the engine and the unit thinks you have turned the engine off.
The rear camera has been on the outside of the extra long Citroen van over the winter and did start to malfunction. I contacted the seller for advice and we tried a few things to get it working. At no point did they try fobbing me off. After we had tried a few things to see if they worked and they didn’t. They were happy to supply me with a replacement rear camera free of charge.
As yet I’ve not fitted it. Ill update if i can but I’m sure just having the knowledge that the seller is very willing to help, is in my opinion a demonstration of a quality and reliable seller who you can trust.

Lost marks on night vision but they all do as bright lights glare the scree out.

I was really impressed by the customer service. As for the camera failing. theses things happen.

Thank you Guys.

I purchase an Auto-vox V5 in early 2022. I had a couple of questions about the installation process as I wanted to have a ‘two rear camera’ set-up. Firstly a permanent rear view from my pick-up. The canopy means I can see nothing via the standard mirror. Secondly a view from the back of a caravan when towing. I contacted Auto-vox’s technical support and had my emails answered promptly and helpfully by their operative, Gigi.
The V5 works well. There are probably a few minor changes I’d make to the design but nothing important. As such I have no hesitation in recommending the the product. This is despite the fact that unfortunately, after 9 months or so, the system has stopped functioning. I had it checked by an auto-electrician and I’m reasonably confident that the problem is with the display unit. The product is still within its extended warranty period however I had the challenge that I am outside the UK (where the V5 was purchased). Post Brexit it is stupidly complex, time-consuming and expensive to have goods shipped from the UK to the EU. I once again contacted Gigi and he quickly and efficiently organised to have a replacement shipped from Amazon Germany to Croatia.
It is obviously disappointing the the unit failed but the excellent customer support from Gigi has more than compensated for this.
In summary, good product, amazing customer support.

I don’t use many of the features of this product, but during the two years since I purchased the device, it has done a great job of recording what happens as I drive around my county. The videos are very clear and can be viewed on the dedicated software on a computer, which not only shows the camera footage, but also the location on a map and the speed at which you were driving on each part of the journey. If you select “driving mode”, the dash cam displays your current speed continuously. I don’t tend to use that feature at night though, because there is a residual background illumination across the entire mirror (not visible during daylight), which makes the reflection less clear. Also, whilst the reversing lines may be useful to some, I don’t have them switched on because I find it confusing to watch both those and the reflection in the mirror, which are both visible at the same time. Overall though, I would say this is a great product and there are many available features that the user can select, including audio recording, which could be useful in the event of an accident.

This dashcam seemed a good bet and installation went well at first, until the last bit when the fuse replacement wouldn’t fit the socket. The seller was excellent and sent out a new wiring section, no charge, but do look into what your fusebox requires before purchasing.

The rear camera is mounted inside – I had no easy route to go outside my Renault Scenic by screwing it to the roof behind the rear window. Wiring to there was easy enough, and from the mirror position to the fusebox.

Image quality is excellent, at least until night. It is easy to read number plates by day, and the image in the dashcam is an improvement in general over the original normal mirror. Observations:

1. The angle of view is very wide, wider than the mirror, and this makes things that are close look a long way back. Takes some getting used to

2. At night, headlights flare badly; number plates are unreadable. Whether this is because the camera is inside is debatable, though I think not given the quality during the day

3. An oddity. With the dashcam turned off (I have it wired to come on with power to the car, off when power goes off), the mirror is a normal one, and quite good. With it on, obviously you see the camera image. But by focusing on the mirror differently, I can still see the mirror – a sort of option to look at either.

4. Another oddity. The car is keyless, so power is initiated as soon as the door is opened. This starts the dashcam. But when the engine starts, it turns off. Normally, 4 out of 5 times, it turns on again when the engine is running, but … and oddity.

I’ve had this camera around 5 months and it has served me very well in that time, all the features are brilliant and the screen is a good size and easy to use. Just a couple minor points… I couldn’t get it to attach to the top of the rear door on my van (which could be down to my own capabilities!) so had to attach to top of license plate which isn’t ideal as anyone could come rip it off. Will be looking into other options.. maybe drill hole in bumper.

The only other thing is that I’ve had to order a replacement cable as it has stopped receiving the signal from the camera.. which again, could very well be down to my own error as I’ve fully insulated/clad the van and at the time thought it would be a good idea to hide cable in the wall but now I can’t check if it’s been damaged inside i.e by screwing through it etc! So.. anyway… when I messaged them to ask for a replacement cable, they are not only sending me a new cable but also a new camera for free just in case!! Gigi from the team has replied to my messages super quickly and been so helpful. Thanks Gigi!! Let’s hope it does the trick!

The rear view from my convertible VW Beetle was obscured when the roof was down so I needed an alternative to the mirror.
After a lot of searching and comparison I chose the Auto Vox V5 Mirror Dash Cam and it was the perfect choice.
It arrived quickly and was very easy to both understand and fit.
Sunlight reflection was an issue until I realised that as it is not a mirror, it is a screen the rear view mirror that it is attached to does not need to be pointing where it always was, it can be moved to the correct angle to view without any reflection.
Initially picture quality was perfect and I was very happy.
After a while the picture quality deteriorated and I suspected that moisture had got into the unit as it was positioned below the rear numberplate.
I then contacted Kacey at [email protected], a very helpful and capable employee. She took on board my problem and arranged for a replacement camera to be dispatched to me quickly and after fitting it my camera quality was back to 100%.
I believe that the moisture ingress problem has been overcome by Auto-Vox but I put a small amount of clear sealer around the wire entrance area just in case.
All in all 5 star product with 5 star service, I recommend it.

This product as a dash cam and also rear cam is excellent , the video quality is amazing for the price and played back on my I pad is very good with the date and time all recoded a must if your involved in a accident, now for the big down side , the mirror also functions as a mirror when the device is turned of , so when it’s on especially on a sunny day you get half mirror/ camera and also vehicles seem twice as far away as in the conventional mirror and the quality suffers on sunny days , a good feature would be the ability to turn of the mirror, but still continue to record, as the mirror is quite functional even though it’s a dark smoke , and the finger prints show up a lot when it’s switched of

As I had bought in the past a dashcam from Auto Vox and being completely satisfied, I went for this particular camera for my wife`s car as it has the rearview camera parking function in addition.

It`s fairly easy to fix it in place, but for a perfect job be prepared to spend a few good hours to do it. I have hardwired it to the fusebox as I already had the kit to do it but works fine plugged into the cigarette socket as well
It took me more time to fix the wire connecting the rear camera but I`m happy it comes nicely under the door rubber seal so it`s not visible and in the way.
The rear camera is fixed on the exterior, just above the number plate as the car is a hatchback and the vision was not so great from the interior angle.

As it`s fixed on top of the existing mirror, it`s actually acting as a rearview mirror, only that`s an image from a camera and not a reflected one. It took me a few days to get used to it but now it comes as natural.
Image quality is beyond reproach, with a wide viewing angle on both cameras, enough to capture almost everything that is happening around the car.

Parking guidance is a big pro for this device as we live in a crowded parking space area and being able to squeeze in for a parking space is crucial. It`s adjustable from the screen so I am totally in control of the distance left between the cars at every moment.

The display can be used to show recordings from either front or rear cameras or a split-screen with the two. Night vision is clear and the recordings are detailed. I.e. a number plate can be easily read.

GPS function comes in handy as well, especially as it has the timestamp and actual geographical position of the car in case of an insurance claim.

In big lines, happy about it, about its performance and truly recommended.

Quite a remarkable product, i decided to get this instead of a standard dash cam and i’m not disappointed. Looking at the box it comes in you know your getting a quality product and it looks great. I was going to get in someone to fit it but after watching countless tutorials i decided to do it myself. The camera just simply clips on to your existing mirror with supplied rubber straps and the 3 leads connect at the top. If you can feed the cables straight into the roof lining at this point they can be hidden very easily which is what i did. The power lead routed to the cig lighter, the GPS to the dash in the corner and the reverse camera lead fed along the floor near the sill, this was the most time consuming part of the job. Connecting to the reverse light was easy once i found the correct wire and fitting the camera to the back of the car was straight forward. I have had the camera in for just over a week now and love it. One or two buyers have mentioned the camera can be a little darker than they would have liked and its not as bright as daylight but this wont cause any problems. All in all a great bit of tech that has the wow facto

This is my third Vox camera kit. I like the idea that they provide a reversing camera function as well as front and rear high qualify video recording, stamped with location coordinates from the GPS antenna that comes with the kit. This was very useful just a few weeks ago when I was hit by someone using their phone whilst driving.
This version (V5) is much improved on its predecessors which tended to pick up a little glare in video mode. The rear camera view turns on when reverse is selected or by using the controls on the mirror.
I had mine fitted for 50 by a guy that has a tow bar fitting business but now fits quite a few of these cameras.. There’s not much too it, but I’m a bit nervous about removing the headliner with all those plastic clips. The fitter told me that Vox was the best make on the market.
Apart from the glare problem on the old X2 model I’ve had no problems with any of the kits I’ve owned. Just make sure to rinse any dirt off the external camera before wiping to avoid scratching the lens. I learned this after ruining an OEM camera on a previous car.
This product offers great value for money and I will definitely buy another when its time to change my car.
