No. The backup camera merely turns on when you put the tow vehicle in Reverse.
The observation camera is on when you have the trailer lights on or when you put the tow vehicle in reverse.
I understand what you are saying, but they sell the observation cameras separate from the observation cameras.
If the camera receives power from the reverse lights, it only comes on in reverse.
If the camera receives power from the running lights, it comes on with the running lights.
If wired like a buddy's Bighorn and connected to the trailer power supply, the camera is on all the time.
If some cameras are sold as one and some as the other, there must be some other difference.
