VideoMirror Rear View Camera/Monitor For Cars

January 6, 2006 | In: Cars Trucks, Monitors Displays

Gone are the days of using the words “blind spot” as an excuse for running over stuff while backing up the K-Car wagon. Magna Donnelly has a new product out called the VideoMirror.

It’s a rear view mirror for your car. Cool. But what makes it even cooler is that when you drop that shifter in reverse, a little video monitor slides out and you can see what’s behind you through a tiny video camera mounted on the back of the car.

From the VideoMirror manufacturers site:

How often have you backed up your car and wondered if there was something in your blind spot? VideoMirror™ reduces dangerous blind spots when parking, backing up or hitching trailers to improve safety. With its smart design, VideoMirrorä conceals a 3.5″ full-color display that gets its picture from a tiny camera mounted behind the vehicle. When you shift into reverse, the video display automatically deploys from the side of the mirror giving you an image of the area behind your vehicle both day and night.

Paul,

In the story above about our VideoMirror product both the
links to our site in the story do not work. I believe it is because they are missing the www. before magnadon.com. Any chance this could be corrected ?

Thanks. Questions call me at 248-729-2844
