Back-up Camera install

Hey guys, I purchased a backup camera to install onto the WJ. I have a question. I want it to come on when I place the Jeep in reverse but would also like it to come on with the flip of a switch. Is it just a matter of adding a switched 12v source to the same line that connects to the reverse lights?

If the camera is wired in to turn on with the backup lights then it will function as normal. Then you should be able to wire in an alternate power source with a fuse, relay and switch. But that switch should not have any effect on the reverse lights. You just need to figure out the right place to connect it. prolly between the unit and the connection to the reverse lights.

Thanks for the info guys. I guess I'll just install it the way it should be. No biggie, just a thought if it could be done.

I'll probably tap into my trailer light connections as well. Just gotta figure out which one is the reverse wire.

Off to WJJEEPS I go.,.,.,
