Rear View Camera vs Backup Camera
I'd just like some clarification on this topic. Every time I do a search for a rear view camera, I get a list of backup camera's. I'm looking for a camera and monitor that's on all the time, not just ...

The term is used interchangeably. A backup camera can be a rear view camera and a rear view camera can be a backup camera. There are some more suited for use as a standard rear view camera while others may have features that makes them more suited for use as a backup camera.
To make a camera/monitor a backup camera, they are usually hooked to the backup lights for power. To make them a rear view system, it's hooked to a power source that is active all the time.
If you want that rear view feel, get a monitor that is based on a rear view mirror.
