Can you keep the camera on longer than 15 min or simply leave it running. I want to monitor trailer hitch 100 of the time while driving down the road

The camera in the Rear View Safety Wireless Hitch Camera System # RVS-83112 has an automatic 15-minute shut-off feature on the camera to conserve the power in the 9V battery that powers it. Battery life is 3 to 5 hours. The monitor part takes in 12V power from an outlet in the tow vehicle so it remains powered.
There is a safety concern with having a camera system engaged at all times; it can become a distraction from your primary concern, which is the road in front of you.
