Would a pair of cameras looking at the tires be less fuss than a TPMS?
It would be okay if a tire blew and you had someone watching the monitors all the time. But how would the cameras tell you that you've lost 5 psi, and you're still losing air pressure? Until the tire failed I mean. No offense, but cameras are just a pretty silly idea.
I would look at the monitors each mirror look cycle 30-45 seconds it's how we do it driving heavy trucks. The habit follows me to the little truck. I would line the camera such that a fatter sidewall of a tire losing psi could be seen maybe?
I see low tires on other vehicles all the time with my eyes, even when they are running on the road.
I use an air pressure gauge to check pressure. I also look at my tires at stops for anything stuck in a tread etc
If a tire "blows" from sudden catastrophes looking with eyes or monitors etc aren't going to save the pots and pans drawer and wiring that sit above the tin foil wheel housing anyways...there will be damage to the hull....
I was all set to order one but you read these threads trouble with this trouble with that I put the money into steel casing tires instead.
