What is the Field of View for the RVS Wireless Hitch Camera and Can it Run for Longer than 2 Hours?

Question:
What is the field of view for this mag mount camera? Also wondering about getting more battery life through a second battery pack, or a aux battery pack you could plug in for longer than the up to 2 hour lifespan it currently has. Hard to use it for a travel camera with only a 2 hour running time. Other than that it looks like a good system.

Hey Allan, it's good to hear from you again!
The RVS Wireless Hitch Camera # RVS87FR has a 120-degree viewing angle, but they don't have a listed FOV. I know some people use these interchangeably, but others argue that they are different (which I believe they technically are). Does the viewing angle help?
I also confirmed with my contact at RVS that the camera will keep running if the power wire is connected to it. So, you will be able to get more than the 2-hour lifespan, but you'll need to have a USB plug-in for power near where you're wanting to set the camera.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
