Abstract

This invention presented is an incorporated wide-angle rearview mirror for rearview and reverse surveillance, composed of a wide-angle rearview mirror, a LCD monitor invisibly installed inside said wide-angle rearview mirror with a light resistance set inside the LCD monitor, a vehicle rearview CCTV system, an incorporated printed circuit board, a reversing light circuit and a vehicle gear. When a driver is backing his/her ca, the reversing light circuit supplies power to simultaneously switch on the camera and monitor circuits, thereby enabling the wide-angle rearview mirror and the monitor to display images behind the vehicle for monitoring the situations below the vehicle rearview, in addition, the LCD monitor is able to adjust the brightness corresponding to ambient light.
