Check with Shoofin'TL.
Why not just leave them on to be safe. I think a car without them would look funny.

The Law requires a minimum of one side mirror (driver's side) and a rear-view mirror to be present. I do not know what would happen if you got pulled over and explained that you use a camera for views, but I am quite certain you will fail any required inspections for the state you live in (unless your state doesn't require inpections). I am sure if you are creative enough to put in a camera, you would be creative enough to avoid this problem, though

Crackpuppy has a small camera in his rear view window, and it projects on his radio's head unit(I think he has an Alpine with LCD screen).. looked cool.. I think he had the rear view mirror still on his car though.. I'm not sure what the legalities are for that though..

I don't think it is legal to get rid of your drivers mirrors and rearview. Infinity has a back up camera in the q45 and it says this is not a substitute for looking backwards right on the screen. Heres a pic of mine.
