Question 1

Can you turn this Camera on without having the car in reverse?

Accepted Answer

yes you can wire it to 12 volts to be on all the time or put a switch in it

Question 2

is there a difference between a back up camera and a rear view camera

Accepted Answer

Back up only works when shifter is in reverse because it works off of the back up light circuit. A rear view is wired off of the ignition circuit soIt can be viewed anytime the vehicle is being operated

Question 3

does this work on any vehicle

Accepted Answer

It should as long as it has a 12 volt system. It's a moderate challange if you don't have much electrical experience. Instructions are not too clear but once it's hooked up works well. Just be sure that if you try to hook it up on a late model vehicle,you check the fuse block for the accessory that will turn it off when your car is off. I hooked mine up wrong and it drained the battery after about a week. It took me a new battery and about 2 months to figure it out.

Question 4

this backup camara work on my gmc savana explorer 2003?

Accepted Answer

This will work on any 12V vehicle. The only issue might be working out a mount for the display and camera. With any backyard engineering this shouldn't betoo difficult. I just bought a motorhome in which this exact cam / display was mounted. The former owner did an absolutely HORRIBLE job of mounting everything, and it didn't even work. I was able to properly reinstall to my satisfaction, and it took off working swell.  I am amazed at how well this relatively inexpensive set works! The 'picture' is in color, very clear, witha rear "back up" pattern displayed on the screen. The image is reversible too.  I have, in the past, had rear cams in motorhomes that cost 3X + what this's priced. It is absolutely better than anyI had in the past. The camera is about the size of a walnut. It has the capability of a second cam being connected and selected. This set is an absolute steal!
