Front camera must be set to non-mirror and rear-view camera set to mirror. But Dynavin has this feature built-in to switch.

what does that mean?

Clock, it is nice feature of a camera to switch front or reverse, so you can use same camera for either application. But... do you really plan on drilling car to fit a camera? !

Term X, HECK NO.
I'm just looking for a nice mountable device (like the one RB showed me thats vailable through J&T Distrib that fits into the rear tailgate Lic plate light).
I was just curious as to why a camera would be switchable.
and when you say forward of revers, I assume you mean mirrored or non-mirrored right?

When I see "forward or reverse" you're Referring to whether the owner is using its as a forward (non mirrored) or Reverse (normally mirrored option)?

I guess I'd have to play with it to see which I felt more comfy with.

I'd like to set mine up so that its always active and not just in reverse. gotta research that.
