There are a number of different reasons people want to be able to shoot video from within a moving car. Sometimes it’s just for purposes of amusement, perhaps to create a fun video of the driver and passengers singing. Or, maybe it’s to record footage of nature and beautiful scenery while you’re taking a road trip. It can also be a useful tool for safety purposes. In the event of an accident or a hit and run you may want to quickly take a photo but might not be able to easily or safely get to your cell phone to use the camera. But, it isn’t safe for a driver to just shoot video or take pictures while driving. An HD Mirror Cam turns your car’s rear view mirror into a dash cam, and is an affordable solution to all of those situations.
The HD Mirror Cam attaches to your car’s existing rear view mirror and can automatically record both audio and video. Because it sits right over the car’s mirror, the device isn’t obtrusive such as some devices that attach to your windshield. The camera lens swivels, allowing you to capture images or video of either the interior or exterior of the vehicle. The footage you’ve just captured will play back in the small screen in the mirror, unless you choose to have the playback screen turned off. Recorded video and images are downloadable via USB or SD memory card. Here’s a complete product description.

We bought a camera for the car last year. Make us feel safer knowing whatever happens will be recorded!
That sounds like a really cool gift. I’d worry about my teenage driver playing with it, so I’d definite have to create some rules.
That’s pretty cool – I had no idea these even existed! What a neat idea. There are so many practical uses for this, it would be nice to have it to monitor teens in the car.
That is an awesome idea! I love the added safety it adds to backing up. I’m always so nervous when I back up.
I’d use this in my own cross country+ travels.
