Digital Mirror System

Designed for racers, this system replaces your mirrors with high resolution and frame rate digital virtual mirrors that are superior. No more wavy hard to see super wide and long mirrors with a big wing blocking your view, or tiny side view mirrors that bounce out of place after hitting a single gator. Massively reduced blind spots. These digital alternatives give you a perfect view of what's beside and behind you.

This is NOT the same as dash cams! Dash cam systems use fish-eye lenses which distort your view (something you don't want while racing!). Often they claim 1080p or higher quality cameras yet do not actually deliver that quality of video (due to using composite video cables incapable of transmitting full 1080p, regardless of how good the camera is). Also not the same as just slapping a screen and any camera on the car as you'll soon discover the images are not flipped properly. You need a high quality system designed to replicate a mirror. You need a DMS.

As a bonus these also have optional looped video recording to a USB Drive, included free in the software.

The system is modular in that you can buy as many as you need, with each replacing one mirror. Each DMS powers off 12V power and uses one HDMI display which you provide (though there is a very nice one on this site). I recommend at a minimum a 5" display (though I prefer 7" personally), and a 1024x600 resolution, but larger and higher resolution is always preferred (tailor to your budget). Here are some known good brands for small HDMI screens (most can be found on Amazon):

John Freund Racing 7" 1920x1200 Touch Screen HDMI Display - Yes, shameless self promotion, but these are awesome displays and have a sun shade offering. VESA and AMPS mount options.
Seeed Studio - 5" and 7" LCD displays". Good solid visual output for such an inexpensive display.
Eyoyo- 5" and 7" LCD Displays, some with sun shades, More expensive but great visual quality.
Feelworld- 5" and 7" LCD Displays, some with sun shades. Very similar to Eyoyo in that they are very high quality, though pricey.

Mounting is left to the user. I can provide a rear GoPro style mounting for the rear camera that uses M6 bolts to mount to a flat surface, but for side view since every car is different we don't really have a standardized mount. It's fairly simply to device a mount from your dash using aluminum and then some 3M exterior tape to attach the cameras to the mount.

Features:

1080p@30fps Camera - High Quality Video to see what's around you clearly, and is weather resistant
Fast boot time - boots to a mirror display in ~7 seconds
Customizable Boot Splash - Add your car's brand or your racing team's personal logo to the startup screen.
Built on a Raspberry Pi - Customizable for the tech savvy in you, this system utilizes a Raspberry Pi 3 B+.
12V Powered - Designed for a car, these run off a typical car 12V electrical system.
Protected against software corruption - Other Pi builders think it's ok to just cut power to a Raspberry Pi. Believe me, it's not, and eventually those guys will have corrupt micro SD cards and will be wondering why their devices won't boot. DMS is designed to tackle this poorly understood problem by protecting the software from corruption.
Reconfigurable - Each DMS can be used for Side or Rear view by simply changing a setting via the USB drive, and thus are interchangeable or physical jumper. Useful if you want to keep a backup unit on hand, you only need one to cover all DMS.
Multiple Camera Styles - Both a tall and thin design ideal for the rear, and a long and short design ideal for side view positions.
GoPro and RAM style mounting - Your choice, we can include either, or neither. We also offer roll cage and surface mounts for both!
Customizable - Camera can be oriented as needed with mounts on top or bottom (specified in the ordering options so we can configure the software accordingly). Also case and camera lettering can be customized, including graphics, if desired (let us know in the order notes during checkout).

Each DMS includes:

DMS Core Unit - Raspberry Pi based system
DMS Camera - 1080p@30fps 8MP camera for excellent video quality, uses and HDMI cable to connect to the core unit. Replaceable plexiglass lens protector.
16GB USB Drive - Used for DMS configuration and video recording storage
16GB Micro SD card - contains the DMS software
HDMI cable - for connecting the camera to the DMS. 10ft. for Rear Camera, 6ft. for side (though 10ft can be requested in order notes during checkout).
12V Power Plug - barrel plug for you to solder to your 12V power and ground
GoPro style M6 mount (upon request) - typically for rear mounted cameras, but can be used for side mount systems as well for creative customers

NOTE! This product is MADE TO ORDER. I do not keep inventory, so I will need to order all these components after you place your order. Please be patient. This means I am subject to current parts availability though I will communicate any delays with you.
