Excellent Dashcams/Cabin/Rearview Cameras with 12 " Mirror Monitor

I first tested Pormido's 12" dual camera mirror dash/rearview camera system, but when I got the new improved 3 camera model saw it, I realized that It's perfect for my Sprinter Adventure RV assembly. So I returned the dual camera unit through Revain Prime and upgraded to a more expensive system so I had a center/cabin camera to monitor the driver, passenger, interior of the RV and even the rear and side windows. The front and interior cameras are fully adjustable with tilting lenses, and the rear camera comes with ample cables, even for my 19-inch Sprint van. The extremely wide field of view for all three cameras is amazing, @ 170 degrees, and you can swipe the mirror/monitor up and down to scan the same amount vertically. Resolution is excellent, images are sharp and clear with good contrast. The mirror monitor has a brightness control. I'll try to upload better road pics, there are more cars in the photos but the wine country road I drove on the test drive was without much traffic. I installed the reversing camera on the spare wheel holder at the very rear of the van. I used velcro and a cable tie instead of the included 3m tape just because I wanted to be able to change position and play with the camera angle. But Pormido includes some strips of tape, screws, and an adjustable camera mount that can be used in the rear window of a car or SUV if you don't want to mount it outside. On the first try with the camera and parking aid, I squeezed myself into a very narrow parallel parking space! Much better than the OEM Sprinter overhead backup camera, but with both cameras running simultaneously and giving me two views, it was much more accurate! Park Assist works when you shift into reverse (when you connect the red wire to the reversing light) and then when you shift back into forward, the front view camera turns on. slightly down so I can scroll and see the front of my hood better than my own view from the driver's seat because the camera is front mounted right on the windshield. So cool for a MB Sprinter that has a slanted nose and I have an extra front bumper and protection! Also, the rear camera is so wide that I can see cars entering my blind spot before I can see them clearly in the mirrors or before the Sprinter's blind spot sensors detect them. It's so cool to see them approach in the mirror monitor and then pass by in my side view. Much safer and faster than OEM blind spot warning sensor flashing red on OEM MB side mirrors. Pormido supplies everything you need for installation, lots of wire, which is very good (but also a problem with coiling, tying and hiding excess cable). But better long than short! They also provide self-adhesive cable ties and a small plastic case tool to push the wires into the headliner and door corner moldings. In general, I am very satisfied with the system. The tiny microdisk is difficult to remove with your thumb because the slot is so well hidden in the top of the mirrored monitor. I have a 128GB micro card so I now have two of them including the 32GB card that came with it. I think my only upgrade requests for the next model will be video streaming to a cell phone or tablet so the card doesn't have to be removed, wireless cameras to eliminate the cable installation process, and possibly voice control, although my experience with this is Siri/Alexa in a van with road noise does not work well with other devices. But these are all bells and whistles that add to the complexity and cost. Pormido's product quality and pictures are great and Pormido's service is excellent. The GPS antennas weren't stocked when I ordered my kit but they supplied everything else so there was no delay and I'm assuming the antenna which just plugs in and attaches to the inside of the windshield will arrive any day! Very very satisfied! Update: GPS antennas work great! I'm adding some new photos and videos that better reflect the quality of the cameras.
