Is the whole surface of the mirror reflective when the camera is off or will there be a dark non reflective rectangular where the video is used to display?

The whole surface of the mirror is reflective when the camera is off,, when activating the camera the image shows through the center,, great product!! I am very satisfied...

if I recall correctly the rest of the mirror serves as a rearview mirror. Unfortunately, the mirror did not consistently work, and I had to use a different one, which is too bad, because on occasion when it worked it was crystal clear.

The reflection looked ok with mine. The mirror is real glass mounted on solid wood panel so there is no distortion.

The mirror has a standard reflection. No - the glass does not have a dark tint.

The screen is flat black when it is off, therefore no reflection. I am not sure about a glossy ID term, but I believe you will be pleased with the flat no reflection screen.

this will not record accurately if spotted on a reflective surfaces. Think your assumption is correct.

There are slight reflections depending on the lighting in the room. The screen is like a matte finish and not shiney. We have ours in a finished basement with light coming in from the glass block and I can see the reflection of the windows slightly. Nothing major that affects the picture. We are quite pleased with it. Hope this answers your question. Also it is self adjusting to the lighting around it. Last night I began watching a program (had just turned the tv on) and I thought it looked too dark. Within seconds the tv adjusted itself so that the picture was perfect, color and brightness.

The Monitor surface changes depending on if the Monitor is On or Off. When Off the entire surface is like a Blue tinted Mirror but not as reflective as a normal Silver Mirror. When the Monitor is ON the center of the mirror become the actual monitor screen, everything else turns a solid light Blue (non reflective). This website has a realistic image of what the Monitor looks like when it's ON. http://www.aliexpress.com/item-img/car-TFT-LCD-monitor-GT-H703/270197287.html

I believe glossy. When the computer is turned off the black screen reflects much like a mirror.

It is not a lighted mirror. The bar you see in the picture is just the bar that attaches it to the wall.

very reflective. You might want to aim it down to avoid confusion between the video image and the real image.

It is a glossy screen. Some people say it does produce reflections which it does when turned off but I have never see had an issue while I was watching it.

It needs direct light to be reflective. Unless the camera has a flash aimed at your plate it will probably not work for that. Try a cover.

The screen is glossy. I definitely get reflections, during dark scenes, if there is any other source of light in the room. Fortunately, I have blackout curtains. If you always view it from the same spot, you could careful position the TV so there is nothing bright or shiny that will be reflected on the screen at that angle. If you do that, then maybe you can have some light in the room without getting reflections.

The picture is fine viewing at an angle. Only problem is the screen is very reflective of lights. Light coming through a window or light bulbs at proper angle reflect terribly.

The image you get in on the monitor is backwards from a normal camera, so I believe it does have a mirror image as you inquired about. It also has a light grid pattern over-laid on the image, which is intended to project your car's path when moving in reverse. The grid cannot normally be turned off, however, if you disconnect power to the camera and then reconnect it quickly, the camera will sometimes change to a normal camera output (non-reversed) without the grid overlay. I discovered this quite by accident and I've never seen this happen under normal usage though.

Hi Robert,Thank you for asking! The lights on the Dash Cam are infrared lights which help you record video in low light settings. They will not be visible to the naked eye when lit, however, there is an image of a yellow moon that will indicate you are using night mode and the infrared lights are in use.Thanks again for writing in!

You don't need to uncover the light. It just lets you know when the front facing webcam is on. The screen protector doesn't interfere with that ;)
