iBEAM

iBEAM Vehicle Safety Systems is the camera brand from Metra Electronics. It covers dash cameras, rearview mirror recorders and backup cameras that help drivers see more around the vehicle and keep a record of what happens on the road.

We carry iBEAM because it comes from Metra, a name we trust for fitment and install support, and because the lineup covers the camera upgrades our customers ask for most.

About iBEAM

iBEAM is part of the Metra family of brands, alongside InstallBay, Heise LED Lighting and Metra Powersports. Metra supports the line with an iBEAM catalog and a document portal that includes instructions and installation guides, which makes a real difference when you are mid-install.

Dash cameras

The iBEAM TE-DVR1080 records in 1080p and has a built-in 2 inch screen and G-sensor. The G-sensor detects a sudden impact and protects that clip from being recorded over, so the footage you need after an accident is still there.

Dual-view dash camera

The TE-DVR-DL4K records the road ahead in 4K with a second camera in 1080p. Recording both directions is a big advantage for rideshare drivers, work vehicles and anyone who wants proof of what happened behind them as well as in front.

Live-view mirror DVR

The TE-LVM9 puts a 9 inch live view in place of your rearview mirror and records front and rear. A camera-based mirror view is not blocked by headrests, passengers or cargo, which is a major upgrade in SUVs, vans and trucks with a loaded bed.

Backup cameras

iBEAM backup cameras include license plate styles and a small square camera, all with active parking lines. Active lines bend as you turn the steering wheel, showing where the vehicle is actually headed.

Who iBEAM is for

• Daily drivers who want a dash cam for peace of mind
• Rideshare and fleet drivers who want front and rear recording
• Truck, van and SUV owners who need a better view behind them
• Anyone adding a backup camera to an older vehicle or aftermarket radio

How to choose an iBEAM camera

Decide first whether you want to record, see better or both. Dash cams record. Backup cameras help you see. The live-view mirror does both. For backup cameras, license plate styles are the easiest install, and you will want to make sure the camera's video output works with your screen or radio. For dash cams, think about where you will mount it and how you will power it, either from a 12-volt socket or hardwired for a cleaner look.
