For drivers, wouldn't it be nice if you have eyes at the back of your head? This way, you can significantly reduce your chance of backing into something or someone and causing accidents. But since having eyes at the back of your head is impossible and definitely not good to look at, you can settle for installing a camera system to make reversing your car much easier. And if there's one type of camera system you should try, it's got to be the rearview mirror monitor kit.

Rearview Mirror Monitor: A Quick Explanation

For those who are unfamiliar with this type of reversing camera, instead of having a mounted or in-dash monitor, this camera system has a mirror monitor that you can either clip on or replace your car's factory rear view mirror with.

Why Mirror Monitor?

1. It's perfect for those who are used to glancing at the rear view mirror

Glancing at the rear view mirror is second nature for most drivers. If you can't get used to looking at a separate monitor and you prefer scanning the rear view mirror instead when backing up your car, then this reversing camera kit is perfect for you. It is also in the natural line of sight between the side mirrors and interior mirror.

2. It gives you that factory look and feel

This type of camera system is also suitable for those who want to improve the safety features of their car but don't want to make any drastic modifications to it. Mirror monitor camera systems are amongst the most popular cameras because they are discreet. The interior of your car would look exactly the same as it did prior to the installation of the camera system.

3. Installation is simple

With this reversing camera system, installing the monitor is a quick and hassle-free experience. You don't have to drill holes on the dashboard of your car or slot it in an in-dash monitor in the space where your car's entertainment system used to be. All you have to do is simply replace the old rear view mirror with the mirror monitor and you're good to go.

4. It is usable even when the camera is switched off

Unlike in other camera systems, you can still use the mirror monitor even if the camera is turned off. The mirror monitor still functions as an ordinary rear view mirror.
