So if any of you have difficulties backing your Willys up due to poor visiablity with side and normal rear view mirrors especially sedans and coupe with extremely limted windows, I found an answer which is working pretty well and because the came can stay on, in freeway trafic I can now really see who is in my dead spot whether behind but especially on either side of me for lane changing purposes…..I am using this cam discussed in the video but the 2026 version is modified and some additional options……fyi….

Ray and I were talking about the time limits on my backup camera this morning.
Ray and Bill I was doing some research after Ray left this morning, to see if I could keep the backup cam on all the time and this very good video of my backup camera in their version of 2025 shows there are setting to see for 60, 90 or 120 seconds. So I went out to fire it up and make sure it was set for 120 and discovered they have changed it since the 2025 version of my camera in the video so it offers just 240 seconds or an option never to turn off….so I gleefully selected never turning and off and the cam reminds you to keep your camera charged up iof selecting this option. Since I have a disconnect switch and will only have power to the camera when I am actually operating it, I do not see much of an issue since the camera will be outside and receiving good sun for the solar side of charging, but appears to be my answer. I let it run for a while testing it, so I am good to go now…..mgb
