Connecting Backup Cameras for Viewing at Any Time Like Observation Cameras
Question:
Can you guys make an override switch for the back up camera. This would be a good seller so someone could activate the tailgate camera at any time too. Or add the toggle mode to this kit where you can activate the tail gate camera when ever you want too.

The Truck Bed Cargo Camera for 8" Factory Monitor - Switch Kit # 3460001 hasn't been tested for this application yet, but backup cameras can be installed to the running light circuit so they can get constant power and be used as observation cameras so you have viewing at any time or all the time. For most monitors, they capture the signal when the camera receives power so then you could view the cameras at any time.
If you wanted to add a switch to turn that function off, I recommend adding the Buyers Mini Round On/Off Rocker Switch w/ Bezel - Backlit # 3376391100 which you can install in your dash and wire the cameras to the switch and the switch directly to your vehicle battery. That will give you power as desired for viewing.
