NikoMaku 12" Mirror LCD Dash Cam : OEM Look, GPS, Battery, Front/Rear 2k

#dashcam #camera #dashcamera
The Niko Maku 12" LCD Mirror Dash cam with 170 Degree vision, GPS, Rear 1080p camera and that OEM Style is one of the best cameras that I have tested. The quality of both the video and the mirror, when used as a rear mirror and not a video screen is excellent. All dash cams should have GPS and a lot of high tech goodness, this has it all! The installation was easy, the look great and the style even better! Let's check it out together!

This video is EXTRAORDINARILY HELPFUL to me. THANK YOU, Jackson Rip Holmes

[@stevenrodriguez6268]

Is the camera recording 24/7?

[@bernelnery2191]

I have these for more than two years. Unfortunately the touch screen has stop working. If you have similar issues please let me know if this can be fixed.

[@ArrowLockdown]

Great review. Had a few questions. Does the back camera change when you put it into reverse? or does the camera angle get wider. Also What do you think of the 10 inch smaller one? For this one the screen took up the whole mirror but on the advertised 10 inch one it seems like it doesnt use up as much screen.

[@TheJabberTech]

Appreciate it‼️ for the guidelines and automatic switching you need it hardwired to the reverse lights but it will still record without doing that,just no assistance and you'll have to manually switch to the reverse camera .never had the 10" sorry

[@AztecWarrior69_69]

Great video and it made me decide on this camera system. So thank you for that. However it erks me that you didn't show how you fixed the upside-down problem. is there a setting for it or did you have to remount the camera?

[@TheJabberTech]

I remounted the camera properly

[@AztecWarrior69_69]

@@TheJabberTech What do you mean properly? How was it that you installed wrong? Asking so other won't make the same mistake.

[@lescobrandon3047]

I spoke to a friend who is a lawyer and he said to remove anything that records your cars speed. For instance if the chip tells lawyer of someone who is saying you were at fault in an accident because you were doing 31mph in a 30mph zone. Therefore you were speeding. I unplugged my GPS. My personal preference is to keep the rear camera on at all times. If i want to see what’s ahead of me... well I just look out the windshield. 🙂

[@JoramKago]

Thanks for your insightful video. Kindly advise the max size of memory card this mirror camera can accept.

Can you reverse the image of the back camera so it isn't upside down, or do you have to mount the camera with up being up?

[@TheJabberTech]

You can install it with the image right side up... I just installed it upside down due to how my setup is. Since I don't use the backup camera it wasn't a big deal for me

Is there much glare?

[@TheJabberTech]

No

[@Chris_Wolfgram]

Does every single electronic rear view have cameras ??? I already have a front, rear, and interior HD video camera, and a backup camera. ALL I need is an electronic rear view. My car has absolutely terrible rear viewing. Seems kind of stupid to pay for 53 bells and whistles I will never use.

[@moileung]

What is the use of the GPS? Why did they add GPS to dashcam? Is this for fancy dash cams that tells you are speeding? Coz the dashcam GPS can't tell where you are right? That is not its function that's why you have navigation in modern cars with big screen GPS. So basically the GPS is for beeping you if you are speeding. That's ok then but that's the only use. Besides some cars have already this function when you speed it's beeps when you go to the other lane, car beeps when you have a car in your blind spot the car beeps basically the car already have the function that this dashcam GPS does like redundant or you if you have a 1999 Toyota Corolla then this dashcam is good it gives you all the bells and whistles the car doesn't have but if you have say 2016 models or newer the GPS is a shit feature just redundant. Also the backup camera like why, our cars already have built in backup camera which are way precisely installed in the factory. Now we have two backup camera views, which will you use like confusing. Ah okay if the original backup camera is damaged then you can use the dashcam reverse camera but for now you have two views when backing up, which will you use??? Geezzzzzz. In fairness, the OEM attachment is great, as the reviewer has point out, the time of sticking our dashcam to our rear view mirror are so 2008. It's ovahh. No need for that crap. This is the only so far dashcam that has this feature. I have checked all dashcam in amazon.ca and no dashcam comes close to the feature of this dashcam. You guys wonder why all dashcam looks all the same but with different brand names 😂 but if you look closely It's the same like they have the same manufacturing companies and all of them just subcontract it lmao but yeah going to the topic. It's a shame it doesn't have a dashcam from amazon.ca..i have to go to amazon.com to order this dashcam but it is 149$ plus 49$ shipping and duties fee so it's gonna be like $250 more or less Canadian dollars.

[@emmetleahy]

it records the speed to the video file with the gps. This mirror is not for folks with newer cars. We don’t all drive new cars that already have these features.

[@jayrome8764]

[@richardrhoads9088]

I thought I bought the same camera.. Only difference I see is that it doesn't say max(box doesn't say max but listing did say max) appears to be 1080 only not 2k.. Anyway my software seems completely different.. Is there a way to update software?

[@Chitown388]

Really nice 12" LCD mirror, especially with the integrated mount option. I think currently this is the only 12" LCD mirror with an integrated mount. I wish its price is more competitive. There are 4K 12" LCD mirrors with GPS, voice commands, 2K front & 2K rear option, and all the functions like the Niko Maku for about $128 on Amazon. Unfortunately, this one is only 2K front / 1080P rear and it's priced at $180, almost 50% more!.

[@harrygomez8113]

Even after you turned the rear camera 180 the GPS still reads upside down. Is there a correction for this

[@RobertDitLeBob]

Hi! Is it ok to put a anti-glare film on the screen ? And are you still satisfied ?

Hi Jabber, sorry for bother you with this old publication, but I really need your help, I bought this cam few weeks ago by eBay, the thing is when I turn on the camera I have a messenger where said the DVR will power off after 60 seconds and I can't do it anything, when I finally can use the the dash camera, I can't press the option in the mirror, do you have idea what I can do or where I can ask for answer? Thanks and really sorry for bother you.

[@TheJabberTech]

Sounds like you got a bad camera, return it

[@iboswell]

Any idea about the size of the OEM windscreen mount it will fit? Mine looks to be the right basic shape but I can't seem to find any dimensions etc. Vehicle is Australian Ford Falcon BF and I'd much rather use the OEM mount as opposed to rubber bands.

How do you go from the rear camera to a split camera?

[@RSA671]

One issue I had noticed and I am not sure whether this is a software issue but the information on the rear view panel has the data upside down even when the rear video was inverted to its right side viewing setting. Was this something you could not correct in the settings or is this an oversight by its software developers? Thank you for your review of this product. I found it useful although I will need to further research this particular dash cam. Were you able to test and review other products of similar design as this dash cam? I think a feature that would be a tremendous function but did not notice I didn't see, is a function to transfer the data recordings off the device via wifi, Bluetooth or ability for the device to upload to a third party cloud service or even through use of a usb port & cable. I think it would be a hassle having to remove the SD-card every time you wish to view or further archive the recorded contents outside of the dashcam itself. Have you heard of this alternative. AKASO DL12? If so, I am interested to hear your thoughts.

[@TheJabberTech]

If you install the rear camera properly it's all displayed as it should be

I have these capital letters (A, B, C, D, E,) on the bottom left. Can't figure out what they mean... They show up if I click/touch the screen with all the other display icons.

[@kirograntham]

You can buy a garage door opener from home depot and pair it to your garage door.

[@vgullotta]

Now that you've had this one a while, how do you like it? Can you have it default to the rear camera when the vehicle starts? I am looking for something for my Jeep where I can't really see out the rear window because it's plastic and scratched up and there's a giant spare tire back there. So I would like to use it mainly as a rear view mirror connected to the rear camera so I have nice rear visibility again, but I don't want to have to swipe it every time I get in the Jeep, if that makes sense. I like that it replaces the mirror instead of just clipping onto your existing mirror, that is definitely way sexier than most of these things. Let me know if you can, and thanks!

[@TheJabberTech]

Still an awesome camera . Don't think starting up in reverse is possible

[@vgullotta]

@@TheJabberTech ok thanks!

it has a cable to trigger the reverse camera (while in reverse) but if you want reverse to auto come on/always be on you would send constant power to that cable (tap into the same power used to power the screen)
