My Furrion Observation camera also works very well. Mind you, an observation camera is NOT the same as a back-up camera.
Back-up cameras come on when the TV is placed in reverse.
Observation cameras are on all the time....mine also needs the TV's running lights to be turned on first.
How does the furrion work... Does only come on with clearance lights or is it on all the time... Does it drain the battery when unhooked from tow vehicle and parked say in storage?
Usually the preinstalled wiring is on the same power line as the trailer running lights so anytime there is power to the trailer running lights there is power to the camera. Tow vehicle lighting is different so you would have to check to see when the running lights on your trailer operate (all the time the trailer is attached to the tow vehicle, only when tow vehicle headlights are on, etc.).
If you wanted to use the camera as a back-up camera only you would power the camera through the wiring for the trailer brake lights.
