Back up cameras

Went back home for Thanksgiving... My brother has his back up camera rigged to stay on at all times...
Does any body else have this set up or know the info on it (warranty / is it legal)??

Sounds like his shite is broken and he didn’t want to admit he can’t afford to fix it

its distracting as hell for the driver, and could very well be used against him in any auto accident litigation, but no its not illegal unless the rigging keeps the backup lights on as well

How is it distracting?

I think it’s a metaphor for how your brother goes through life: You gotta make sure to know what’s behind you when going forward. Sorry, been listening to Bill Walton commentary a lot lately.

My truck lets me swap between front, back, side, etc anytime.

The backup camera's are supposed to only be triggered on when the vehicle is in reverse. There is actually a sensing wire in the dash, at least there is in my Ram. I'm sure it could be manipulated to bring up the camera fill time or on demand.

Is it legal for someone to set up a back up camera in his own house? Hmm..

I agree. Wonder if he thinks rear view mirrors are distracting also.

Some newer trucks have cameras that show all sides of the truck. It's useful if you're off-roading so you can see your tires and what terrain they're going over, side clearances, etc.
Very handy on I-10 when you're commuting in from Ascension Parish.

No...you can rewire it to do this or add some aftermarket products that do this.
If you rewire it to the running lights circuit instead of the reverse light circuit the camera will stay on.

I don’t know why you’d want this. The backup camera display in my truck (2018 F150) is on the radio screen. This screen also shows me who’s calling, let’s me hear text messages while driving, not to mention what station is on the radio, temp, and time. I’d rather be able to see these things than a road level view of what I can already see in my rear view mirror while I go down the highway.
