Abstract

A dual-recording rearview mirror mount is provided for a rearview mirror and includes a housing unit, a rear cover unit, a rear fixing unit, a front fixing unit, and a lens unit. The rear cover unit is detachably disposed on the rear side of the housing unit along a longitudinal direction and accommodates the rearview mirror. The rear fixing unit is disposed on the rear cover unit. The front fixing unit is disposed on the housing unit. The lens unit includes a front camera disposed on the front fixing unit for capturing forward-facing images, and a rear camera disposed on the rear fixing unit for capturing rearward-facing images. Through the front and rear cameras, images can be captured following the vehicle's direction of travel, and images of the vehicle's sides can also be captured, further increasing the camera's shooting range.
