Pelsee P12 Pro Max 4K+2.5K Mirror Dash Cam w/Starvis 2 IMX678

So much easier to see behind you than a regular mirror! It works well in both day and night, great clarity. The unit itself feels really premium.Issues:- it was hard to position the camera facing up enough to use as a rearview mirror. Can be done, its just a bit annoying. If you just use the hinge, it will keep getting knocked into another position. Had to use some really thick double sided tape to lock it into the angle I want.- lots of glare if the sun is hitting wrong. I think a lower model that doesn't also function as a mirror when off might actually have been better.- not quite bright enough if its super sunny out and you also have sunglasses on.- takes a few seconds to start up whether I use the hardwire kit or notDespite these cons, I would still absolutely recommend this.

I've had multiple Pelsee mirror dash cams, from P10 Plus to P12 Pro, as well as S12 Pro, and the P12 Pro Max is the nicest one, accurately reflected by the premium price point.I have a modified Jeep Wrangler. The factory rear view mirror was useless, to say the least, because of the oversized spare tire consuming majority of the rear windshield. Digital rear view mirror displays like this one helps immensely. They have such wide viewing angle that they significantly reduce blindspots. The first unit I installed for the Wrangler was the P10 Plus, and after a short period time I had them installed on all of my family's vehicles because of how beneficial they are.P12 Pro Max's front camera has the 2nd gen Starvis sensor, while the rear camera has the 1st gen. The front video feed is great, and it's also nice to have the rear video feed in full color even during nighttime, as opposed to grayscale of the older models. The rear camera of the P12 Pro Max is slightly larger and heavier than the rear cameras of other Pelsee models without Starvis sensor. While it would be nice to have Starvis 2 in the rear camera as well, the P12 Pro Max's overall offering is strong enough that it really doesn't matter. And then there are the potential drawbacks to consider, due to increased power and heat dissipation requirement for Starvis 2 compared to Starvis 1 from the supporting system (e.g. - processor, power management, etc), which may end up in rear camera module becoming even larger.P12 Pro Max isn't compatible with bracket mounts for the old P12 Pro. I suspect part of the reason is because the P12 Pro Max has a heatsink plate on the back. You can see it in the item photo--it's the silver plate. That plate gets pretty toasty when the unit is running, especially on a sunny day without air conditioning on. While I didn't have any issue with it overheating, I did eventually perform a proactive modification by using thermal glue to put 2280 SSD heatsink on it, as well as putting a 40x40x20mm fan on the bracket pulling air out, to give it some additional heat dissipation.The included rear camera cable is 33 feet in length. P12 Pro Max uses a USB-C to 6-pin video cable, as opposed to the 3.5mm to 4-pin video cable of the older model. This means you can use an appropriate USB-C extension cable to lengthen the wiring if you need to, which simplifies the installation quite a bit if you have a larger vehicle such as an RV. I tried this using a 10-foot USB-C extension cable that can carry both power and data, and it worked fine. If that's not your cup of tea, then you can get the 6-pin extension cable such as ASIN B07B6LBGZ9.The box comes with two different methods of powering the unit--the 12V cigarette port to 5V USB-C, as well as the OBD2 to 5V USB-C. You can opt to not use either of them. The included OBD2 kit provides 5VDC-3A output, with the unit's power input requirement being 5VDC-2.5A. I was able to use one of the Quick Charge port of the 12V cigarette port splitter to power the unit. The OBD2 kit is apparently meant to be used if you want to enable parking mode, but the caveat is that some vehicles (including the ones I own) don't keep their OBD2 port live upon entering deep sleep. You should also be able to use one of those converters that plugs into auto-dimming rear view mirror connector to convert it into a USB port to power this, provided it meets the power requirement, if you want a clean install and plan on getting rid of the factory rear view mirror.If you want a package that combines both digital rear view mirror capability and excellent front and rear low-light capability, then the P12 Pro Max is something you should consider.

Después de instalar y usar la Pelsee P12 Pro Max, puedo decir que es una dashcam tipo espejo muy completa y bien equilibrada en relación costo–beneficio.Lo primero que destaca es la calidad de imagen. La cámara frontal graba en 4K con sensor Sony STARVIS 2, lo que realmente se nota, sobre todo de noche, donde logra captar más detalle y menos ruido que otras cámaras similares. La cámara trasera en 2.5K también cumple bien, especialmente si se instala por fuera.Otro punto fuerte es que incluye prácticamente todo:GPS, WiFi rápido, control por voz y, muy importante, el cable OBD para modo estacionamiento, lo cual no todas las marcas incluyen. Esto facilita mucho la instalación y evita gastos extra.En el uso diario, funciona bien como espejo digital: la visibilidad trasera mejora bastante, sobre todo en condiciones de poca luz o lluvia. Además, la app es funcional y permite descargar videos de forma relativamente rápida gracias al WiFi de doble banda.Sin embargo, no todo es perfecto.Las funciones ADAS (alertas de carril, colisión, etc.) existen, pero en la práctica son más un extra que una herramienta realmente confiable. También hay ciertos detalles como las líneas de guía de la cámara trasera o la instalación del cable de reversa que pueden requerir algo de paciencia.

I purchased the Pelsee 4K+2.5K Mirror Dash Cam (P12 Pro Max), and overall, it has been a great addition to my car.What I love about the product: Crystal-Clear Display: The mirror display quality is outstanding. Family and friends who ride in my car routinely comment on how clear and sharp the display looks while driving.Smart Safety Features: The Lane Departure Warning works smoothly, but my absolute favorite feature is the Forward Vehicle Movement Alert. It notifies you when the car ahead begins moving, which is extremely helpful at traffic lights. It gives you a subtle heads-up so you never get caught distracted or end up on the receiving end of someone blowing their horn behind you.Customer Support Experience: I purchased the Pelsee 4K+2.5K Mirror Dash Cam (P12 Pro Max) on December 12, 2025, and it performed flawlessly until a couple of weeks ago, when the rear camera stopped displaying. Troubleshooting eventually resulted in a broken cable connector. I reached out to Pelsee’s support team, and they were exceptionally courteous, polite, and prompt in their communication. They quickly offered a hassle-free resolution by sending out a replacement rear camera kit with free shipping.It is always reassuring to work with a company that stands behind its customers and resolves issues gracefully. Highly recommended for both quality and support!

I thought that my first Pelsee P12 Plus is good enough, but then when I read about the upgraded version, Pelsee P12 Pro Max, I was hesitant because it’s quite pricey, so I decided to go for it and I’m so glad i did and it’s worth it. The clarity of the front camera (4K) and the rear camera (2.5K) is just unbelievably sharp.. It’s also straight forward to install and connect all the wires, but I have to let the professional technician to connect the red wire to the backup light. It cost me $20. The big plus is the 160 degrees vision on the rear camera which is for me a good safety features that eliminates blind spots. Another feature that I love is driving at night, the front and rear vision is so sharp and even in pitch black, just the from the car's headlights, it illuminates the road and not grainy at all. If you’re looking for a high quality dash cam, this is it! I highly recommend it.
