Description
The Mio MiVue E80D is a high-performance dual-lens expansion module designed to provide 360-degree situational awareness when paired with compatible Mio dash cam hosts. It features a unique dual-camera architecture that captures 2K 1440P resolution at 30fps for both the rear-facing road view and the vehicle interior. By utilizing the Sony STARVIS 2 sensor for the exterior lens, the device achieves exceptional light sensitivity, ensuring that license plates and road details remain visible even in near-total darkness or under the glare of following headlights.
This product is for:
- Rideshare and professional drivers who need to document passenger behavior while simultaneously recording rear-end traffic incidents.
- Families wanting to monitor children in the backseat while maintaining a high-definition record of the road behind them.
- Night-time commuters who require the advanced low-light performance of the Sony STARVIS 2 sensor to ensure clear evidence in dark environments.
- Fleet managers looking for a compact, all-in-one solution to reduce liability through internal and external video logging.
- Safety-conscious car owners seeking a reliable, long-term security investment backed by a comprehensive three-year manufacturer warranty.

- Parking Mode: Supports Smart Parking Mode (Motion and Impact detection) when used with the optional MiVue Smartbox III power cable.
Operating the MiVue E80D is a seamless experience as it integrates directly with the main dash cam's interface for synchronized recording. The Super MP4 format provides peace of mind, ensuring that every second of footage is saved instantly, eliminating the risk of losing critical files during a collision. The compact 85g chassis is designed for a discreet installation, minimizing obstruction to the driver's rear view while the adjustable EV values allow for fine-tuning the exposure based on window tint levels.
Compared to standard 1080P rear cameras, the E80D’s 2K resolution offers significantly higher pixel density, which is vital for identifying distant license plates. Unlike traditional single-lens rear cameras, this model’s dual-lens design eliminates the need for a third camera to monitor the cabin. Furthermore, the inclusion of the Sony STARVIS 2 sensor provides a measurable advantage in dynamic range over basic CMOS sensors, effectively neutralizing the 'blackout' effect often seen in high-contrast night scenes.
Q&A:
- Does the MiVue E80D require its own memory card? No, it records directly to the microSD card in the compatible main unit; a high-speed U3 or V30 card is required for dual-channel 2K recording.
- Can this camera record while the vehicle is parked? Yes, it supports intelligent parking modes including motion and impact detection when connected via the optional MiVue Smartbox III power kit.
- What is the benefit of the Sony STARVIS 2 sensor? It offers superior sensitivity and lower noise in low-light conditions compared to the first-generation STARVIS, making it ideal for night driving.
- Is the interior camera footage clear at night? The 4MP CMOS interior sensor is optimized for cabin lighting; while it performs well in low light, interior visibility depends on ambient light or cabin illumination.
- How does the 'Save by the Second' feature work? The Super MP4 format writes video data to the card every second, ensuring that if the camera loses power during an accident, the footage up to the moment of impact is preserved.
