'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
Get a dash and backup camera in any car with this $96 kit
Add a dashcam and backup camera that can record 4K video to your car with this deal.
If you have an older car, you're likely missing out on helpful new tech like built-in dashcams and backup cameras. But there's actually a way to install those luxuries on virtually any car, even vintage models -- and it doesn't cost much.
All you need is a lighter power supply to install this 10-inch screen on your rearview mirror. Then you'll have a dash and backup camera on your ride. Normally, this kit would cost you $120, but StackSocial is offering a deal for just $96.
Install it yourself
To install the dashcam, you'll mount the 10-inch screen onto your existing rearview mirror with rubber mounts and straps. (The dashcam is built in on the back side.) Then, you plug the screen into your car's lighter port for power. Finally, mount the backup camera to your car's rear exterior and connect its cord to the screen.
Enhanced visibility and safety in any car
Unlike other dashcams, you'll be able to view live images on the 10-inch screen. You also have the option to view the backup camera instead, or both at the same time. This is excellent for improving visibility on the road or when backing into parking spots.
Having these dual cameras could be crucial in the case of an incident, especially for insurance purposes. The G sensor automatically detects a collision and saves video footage to an SD card (not included). Both cameras have wide-angles, 4K recording, and night vision to ensure you have crystal-clear images of license plates or of the accident.
Also, be sure to take advantage of advanced voice controls. You can take photos, start and stop recording, change cameras, or turn the screen off (to use the screen as a standard rearview mirror), all hands-free.
Upgrade your ride with a 10-inch rearview mirror-mounted touchscreen including dash and backup cameras, now only $96 (reg. $120).
