It is made of glass and I love it!
The one I have is about 8 feet high and mounted on a wooden pole. In the few months since the installation, I've had to adjust the angle once. It is very easy to adjust the mirror. Just turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to make it bigger or smaller.
One screw was required to mount it, but it didn't come with any
Angle your camera just slightly downward and you will not get the glare you are worried about. Point it down slightly and you will solve your problem.

Four mirrors of this type have been purchased by me within the past Having been attached to the backing for about 6 months, the mirror is starting to pull away. Upon contacting the company to find out what I can do, I was told that the company only provides a 6 month warranty, and that I should have purchased A glass window should only be installed on the inside of a building. The title says Heavy Duty Outdoor, but what does that mean?.
Many driveways in our part of Hawaii are twisty and there are hills which can limit your view of the This mirror has had a tremendous impact on our vision, allowing us to see more clearly. We are better able to get out onto the road thanks to it. Please be sure to order an I like how it is It is easy to mount and stays in place once the adjustment screws are tightened. Since there's no way for them to know how you want to use it, they provide very basic mounting hardware. The mounting arm has been well designed and offset. A metal fence post was used for mounting the bracket, and two holes were drilled through it. During installation of the posts, I sunk part of the post into the ground, leaving the upper portion exposed A guardrail post was bolted to the top of this. The installation was quick. Those were all part of the $50 mirror, post, and bolts I bought. I bought the policy for a very low price.
I just installed the mirror on a telephone pole today. My utility company authorized me to do it as long as I did not use screws or any damaging material. It seems to hold fine with plumber's tape and zip ties, but I won't know until I go through the process again. The stock bracket that it comes with assumes you'll use screws which makes mounting it to the pole difficult. I would have liked an alternative method that was easier and faster for mounting it to the pole. (By the way, the mirror did not come with screws. So that the weather isn't messed up by the mirror, I hope I can do that. In any case, I stood about the same place I would be if a car were to go by on the main road (while waiting to turn on to the main road from our alley), and I could see the headlights of an oncoming car a good 100 yards away We could have reached the location 200 feet sooner if we had a Those are success measures in my book.
I give it 4 stars due to the difficulty of installation and limited installation options. It seems like a good mirror, but I give it 4 stars due to its limitations. This meant that I had to buy these things (in addition to the lack of screws or other hardware for mounting it) A roll of plumbers tape, zip ties, and nuts & bolts 1/4 inches These are the bolts I need for my installation. The screws are easier to use for most people (again, a lot simpler). A lot of hardware stores have size charts, so you can draw out the holes well on a piece of paper and take it in with you to make sure you have the right size.
There's something "off" about the mounting for my purposes. If you leave your garage door opened all night, how often do you do that? To answer your question for me, I would say Since I've been checking the door too frequently, I thought a low tech approach would be nice. So, I installed this small mirror under the eave where there is an easy view from the kitchen to determine whether the door is open. Since the mounting kit was designed to be mounted on a flat wall or pole, it was a little difficult to mount it to the sloping eave, but by adding my own bolt I was able to accomplish the task with the minimum of components. It's been hanging under my eave for 5 weeks, and for that time it's been clear, crack free, and very useful. The product itself seems well made, sturdy and for that time it's remained clear, crack free, and quite Upon reflection, a flat mirror may have been more appropriate for this endeavor as convex mirrors tend to make details of the garage door too small to see clearly. If the mirror had been bigger, it would not have fit or appear strange. My final choice will likely be a tilt sensor or alarm contacts for my garage door. Although this is quite functional and low tech, it is unlikely to ever break.
In this mirror, there is a clear sense of quality and beauty. While the mounting hardware and instructions were good, the instructions could have been better. example, the hardware included 2 fairly long, heavy gauge screw rods about 18-inch long To mount the mirror on a wall, you must bend 24 inch metal bars at a 90 degree angle. The instructions included with the mirror state that you should bend the metal bars at a 90 degree angle. ARE YOU SURE? It would be easier if there was a shop press to bend these bars at a 90 degree angle. While I found leftover screws and used a little of the enclosed hardware to help with mounting, I doubt that I could mount the mirror solely with the hardware that's included with it.
I bought it in October 2016 and today, it is April 22, 2017 and the water got behind it and I had to buy plywood in order to still use the mirror so I had to take the metal holding plate-off and screw it to a board and glue it to the back.
Before I had enough time to mount the mirror, it took me about four weeks. To ensure we had a better view around the curb for traffic coming from the opposite direction, I kept it in the garage until I had time to mount it in front of my driveway. The mirror cracked the next day after being mounted according to the instructions. The whole thing was cracked from top to bottom. During the second day, a crack was visible in another area. In order to get a replacement, I came on this site to see if there was a return window, but it says the return period has closed. I'm now stuck with a defective mirror that is now of no use and was out of money.
I noticed a crack about a quarter of the way in from the upper left corner of the mirror on the following morning. Despite its limitations, it still serves my purpose, which is to see how close I am to the garage door as I drive into it. it cannot handle the torture that is kept in an interior garage in southern California, then I have no idea how well it could cope with a cold Canadian winter or a rainstorm with moderate winds. Following my initial review, the mirror developed a second crack, starting on the floor of the garage and the glass falling out onto it. It is now necessary for me to purchase a new one.
