All three cameras in the Vantrue Mirror Cam 3 are equipped with Sony STARVIS and Silicon Optronics image sensors to deliver reliable videos that capture details of events inside and around your vehicle, with special night vision in low-light.

The Vantrue Mirror Cam 3 uses a 5MP Sony STARVIS IMX335 image sensor to clearly capture the view of the road ahead in 2K QHD at 30FPS, day or night. In the settings, you can also change the frame rate to 28 frames per second. It is also equipped with a 2MP Sony STARVIS IMX307 image sensor that captures traffic in the 1080p rear-facing camera in Full HD. The in-cabin camera has a 2MP Silicon Optronic JX F53S8 image sensor that can detect activity in the vehicle’s interiors even in pitch-black conditions. To maximize footage capture, the M3 can also record audio.

The Vantrue Mirror Cam 3 comes with two rear camera brackets: you can mount it on your rear windshield inside your car to capture traffic behind you, or you can mount it above your license plate on the outside to double as a reverse camera.

The 1080p Full HD rear camera is IP67-rated for water and weather resistance. It also has a mirroring function that allows for a 180-degree flip of the image, making it easier to install on pickup trucks, RVs, and other vehicles with limited space.

The rear camera is a backup camera, so there's a purple wire to connect it to your reverse, but it's obviously much more difficult to install if you want to use it as a rear camera. It also does not rotate, so you must install it as is.

The Vantrue Mirror Cam 3's screen automatically switches to the reversing image with special reverse guidelines for more convenient parking.

The lines are adjustable to your vehicle's size and shape, ensuring zero blind spots when reversing. Just note that to use this feature, you must connect the rear camera to your vehicle's reverse light.

The Vantrue Mirror Cam 3's in-cabin camera is 360-degree rotatable, giving you the most flexibility in capturing the required angles for your and your passengers' security, useful for taxi and ridesharing companies.

Moreover, the Mirror Cam 3's interior infrared camera records in-cabin activities in 1080p Full HD at 30FPS, even in pitch-black conditions, thanks to a 2MP SOI JX-F53SA image sensor and three infrared lights.

The Vantrue Mirror Cam 3 uses the China National Space Administration's (CNSA) BeiDou3 global navigation satellite system to provide precise navigational, positioning, and timing tracking, ensuring that your video footage is accurately stamped with time and speed data.

Vantrue Mirror Cam 3's time-lapse recording mode offers continuous parking monitoring for up to 24 hours by reducing the recording frame rate to 1FPS.

When the G-sensor on the M3's camera detects an impact, the dash cam will automatically resume normal 30FPS recording to ensure that all important details are captured even when the car is unattended. Hardwire installation is required for this and time-lapse recording.

Since it is a mirror streaming camera and may require hardwiring installation to activate all features of the camera system, you may need a help of an installer to have the Mirror Cam 3 perfectly placed in your car.
