Scenario:

You have just successfully installed your new Dash Cam. Clipped to your rear view mirror, it’s all systems go: front and rear camera displays ok, recording, setup, screensaver on by default, etc. Yey!

Night time arrives and as expected, glare from HID headlights and high beams from vehicles on the rear blinds you. Instinctively, you flick on the bottom tab on your OEM rear view mirror to switch on its driver-friendly night time mode.

Simultaneously, three things happen: 1) your dash cam display, clipped to the rear view mirror, tilts down 2) thus, you’ve lost your all-important view from the rear, 3) and, your front dash cam camera pointed up and recording the sky, rendering it useless for recording video from your front end. Bummer!

If your dash cam setup is similar to these, night time drives become a safety issue because of the unavoidable blinding glare from the rear reflected directly to your eyes from the clipped-on dash cam mirror. The only choice is to change the orientation of your rear view by tilting it up or down or sideways, both ways you lose your rear view.

Dash cams are vital nowadays but it raises problems during night drives. Are there any get-around/s to these irritating but critical safety issues?
