Hey Nancy, so that's a great question but basically it all depends on how you install the Drive Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision # 324-000002. It has a trigger wire that connects to a circuit that tells it to "turn on" which for a lot of people gets wired to a reverse light circuit so that it only comes on when in reverse. You could wire this to basically any circuit you'd like to use to turn the camera on. So you could use the running light circuit if you wanted ability to turn it off and on with the headlights or you could run it to a circuit that is active all the time and it would just run all the time.
