Has anyone tried to install a camera to monitor their beds like the Gen 3 have? Not sure how it would work unless it was thrown in a rear view mirror with the flip of it. It would be awesome to hear if anyone has and how you did it!

I recently purchased Wolfbox G900 Pro and installed it as a dash cam to better view the rear since I have a basket on the truck bed. It is being tested and plugged into the dash cigarette lighter adapter port. As I recall, it powers on/off based on the ignition, including immediately powering off upon opening the driver's door. However, the power always stays on this morning, regardless of the ignition position. Has anyone experienced this? I plan to hardwire it permanently, but I'd like to know if I did something wrong! I've attached pics of where I mounted the rearview camera, and @ 2.5K, it is a very clear view of the bed and the road!!

This issue is likely due to the cigarette lighter adapter port being constantly powered, rather than being ignition-switched. Hardwiring the dash cam directly to the ignition circuit should resolve this issue.
