Are Traditional Rearview Mirrors Being Replaced? Bus & Truck Mirrorcam System Advantages & Trends

2025-12-09

What is a CMS Mirrorcam System?

A CMS (Camera Monitoring System) electronic mirror system, often called a mirrorcam system​ or simply a mirrorcam, is an advanced solution that replaces traditional side mirrors with vehicle-mounted cameras and in-cabin displays. Using high-definition cameras on both sides of the vehicle and displays inside the cockpit, this modern mirrorcam system​ provides drivers with a wider, clearer, and more stable field of view.

Why Upgrade to a CMS Mirrorcam System?

As logistics, passenger transport, and special-purpose vehicles expand, the visibility, weather sensitivity, blind spots, and vibration issues of traditional mirrors increasingly compromise safety and efficiency.

Meanwhile, global regulatory updates are accelerating CMS adoption. China’s GB 15084-2022 introduces higher requirements for field of view, brightness adjustment, and image latency, while the EU’s UN ECE R46 formally permits and regulates camera-based mirror replacement. In parallel, ISO 26262 functional safety ensures system reliability across diverse operating scenarios.

By replacing optical mirrors with cameras and in-cabin displays, a mirrorcam​ delivers a wider field of view, clearer imaging, and intelligent assistance for safer, more reliable operation in all conditions.

Why Choose STONKAM AI CMS Mirrorcam System?
