New Safety Solutions from iBEAM to Launch at SEMA

Holly Hill, Fla. – October 21, 2022 –iBEAM Vehicle Safety Systems by Metra Electronics® is introducing an assortment of new safety and surveillance solutions at the 2022 SEMA show, November 1st-4th at the Las Vegas Convention Center. On display will be a 9" Live View Streaming Rearview Mirror, a 4K Dual-View Dash Camera With DVR, a Universal Hardwire USB, and a variety of vehicle-specific Rearview Mirror T-Harnesses. These products are designed to increase safety for an assortment of vehicles and are easy to install.

9" Live View Streaming Rearview Mirror

iBEAM's new Universal 9" Live View Streaming Rearview Mirror, the TE-LVM9, provides full protection for the area surrounding the rear of your vehicle. This package includes the mirror, a 1080P camera, mounting hardware, a required harness, and other wiring for easy installation. When driving, a standard reflective mirror is displayed, but when the driver switches the vehicle into reverse, the built-in 9" monitor will automatically switch to the rear camera to provide guidance when reversing. This monitor also features an option to display a live stream of the rear camera when driving so that the driver has a clear view of what is behind their vehicle on the road. A G-sensor triggers the camera to begin recording if it detects an impact, so the vehicle is even protected when parked. A memory card of up to 64GB is supported so that video recordings can be saved and any accidents or incidents behind the vehicle are documented. This product is ideal for trucks, vans, RVs, and other large vehicles with rear blind spots. The TE-LVM9 is in stock and shipping.

4K Dual-View Dash Camera With DVR

iBEAM will also introduce a new high-resolution dual-view camera with DVR at The SEMA Show. It captures and displays a 140° wide-angle field of view to protect drivers from liability and increase safety. It quickly and easily mounts on your windshield to view and record the area in front of and inside your vehicle. Each lens can be directed toward the front windshield to view what is ahead of the vehicle, toward the vehicle's interior, or out the rear window to capture the view directly behind the vehicle. Both angles can be displayed simultaneously on the built-in 3-inch viewing screen that sits atop the two camera lenses. This dash camera features 4K HD recording, including audio which can be stored on a micro memory card of up to 32 GB. The TE-DVR-DL4K will be available and shipping soon.

Universal Hardwire USB

Another new product on display will be the TE-UNIV-USB, a new 2-amp, 5-volt Universal Hardwire USB. This innovative solution allows installers to conveniently and safely connect and power a vehicle camera or any other USB device. It connects directly to your vehicle's 12V power source to provide an alternative to the factory auxiliary power outlet.

Rearview Mirror T-Harnesses

iBEAM is also debuting plug-n-play rearview mirror T-harnesses that make connecting a vehicle safety and security camera easy without cutting your vehicle's factory wiring. These vehicle-specific T-harnesses include a 2-amp, 5-volt USB, which accommodates both USB "A" to Mini "A" and USB "A" to Micro "B" connections. Also included are 6" extension cables for easy installation. Vehicle applications for these new T-harnesses include:
