Looks a tad big and ugly, but I like the concept.

I would much rather a full replacement mirror..

Full replacement mirror would be way better especially for that price. But like you said very interesting idea.

Love the concept, however, if the lens isn't adjustable from side to side, you will never achieve a direct straight on video, as the video would be completely dependent on the angle that you have the mirror.

It looks like the camera may be able to swivel, but I would assume that if it could, they would have calibrated it before making the demo video.

IMO the screen is way too small. Imagine looking at this screen in real life, about 50CM away from the mirror. This photo is deceiving because it's a close up shot of the screen alone, inside the mirror. If you actually picture this you will not be able to see anything on the screen itself. The photo is also edited, you can see it's lighter (making it seem like the video output is better quality than it is) where the video is.

Also glare.. during the day good luck being able to see that.

The only point of the screen is for aiming the camera....You're not supposed to look at it while driving anyways.....
