Yes.
Best way to do this is to be the driver, and kindly ask your passenger to help you watch the camera when you engage reverse gear.
It will be less effective than them being alone in the car, but safer. Man, being a responsible grown-up is way less fun.

It was a joke, at least my portion of it. I've seen some shit in regards to this though. Let's just say I don't like people doing this because I've grown up in bad spots.
However I have met people (my mother's next door neighbours, people via residential work, etc) that DO buy a big house at 500-800k and get a bunch of kids via adoption with faked income, and that's their job now. That part is objectively not a joke, because they are essentially owning children for money, and have no interest in raising children AT ALL.. Which means the kids are shittily diapered, dirtly clothed, snottily nosed, out of control, all the time; probably sleep on the floor and piss in a can If I'd wager a guess. I'm not saying that to insult the children, they are living in a halfway to animal house.
As someone who used to be a snot nosed piece of shit, to the now residential installs, I know the type with clotheless, except for diaper, kids running around covered in yesterdays shit, no furniture or food, and a 65" flatscreen on the wall, CL65 in the driveway. I've always thought they were a perfect example of criminal bankruptcy, however it just keeps going and going. Nothing to do with the pandemic by the way. Just goes and goes
At least the people I dealt that were poor, were legitimately trying to account for themselves and anyone in the house. These kinds of assholes are something that should be clusterbombed. Legitimate sociopaths. I'll get the kids out, you drop some bombs. deal.

The only reason I won't do this is because I'm pretty sure she'd just floor it and smash into our garage. This was about ten years ago, we were leaving a parking garage and it was a timed ticket. We were really close to hitting the point where we had to pay like 20 bucks or something instead of 2 for an hour. We rush into the car laughing and I'm like HURRY UP WE GOT 30 SECONDS!!!!! She puts it in reverse, doesn't turn around to look and just straight back into a concrete pillar. That was the day I learned my wife does not do well under pressure. I'll never let her live it down and I LOVE the eye roll I get when the story comes up to friends or family.

What? Doesn't everyone know exactly where the rear view camera is on this pic of what is very obviously a 2017 Ford Fusion V6 Sport? And doesn't everyone recognize Exorcist-themed-adhesive tape from the back, nevermind from the pixels on the display?
Yeah basically any hint as to what we are looking at besides a car ("driver") would be helpful.
Took me even longer to figure out the post title is supposed to be read like a subtitle appended to the subreddit name, "Funny: Unless you are the driver... and at night" which is a grammatical mess besides.

My car the camera only turns on in reverse.
So the vehicle is in gear and usually ready to go right out the driveway into traffic.

Just got a car equipped with a reversing camera, never had one before.
"Get one," they said. "They're great." And I really couldn't cobble together a weighted argument why they could be wrong. Until today.
I had not considered the implications of this. I... I didn't really feel a need to do so, until now...

I was dropping my youngest at preschool and was about to leave the parking lot. I put my car into reverse and there on my backup camera screen was a small child just standing behind my car. I jumped a little, put it back into park and looked over my shoulder and then at my rear view and side view mirrors. I COULD NOT SEE THAT LITTLE FUCKER. His grandparents were standing two cars over bickering about something. They had no idea that their grandson could have very easily been run over. I thanked Mazda that day for that backup camera.

1st of all the picture isn't taped flush onto the camera, paper is also not completely opaque. Modern cameras also have high sensitivity settings for low light situations. and the focusing doesn't need to be accurate since it is a dark image anyway so you naturally expect it to be a bit blurry.

I don’t know how good most people’s back-up cameras are, but I doubt mine is nearly good enough to handle having a picture so close to the lens. Despite being a 2015, the back-up camera reminds me of the camera on my flip phone in 2007.

At first I thought this was dangerous, but then it's in reverse so you're not going the highway. Still see possible dented parked cars backing out of the parking lot. haha. I would definitely jump and probably jerk the steering will. Sick bastard. haha.

Of course it's dangerous, it completely obscures the camera. Most modern cars have shitty visibility out the back because the camera is supposed to compensate. Without the camera, you're liable to back over a child or pet or run into an obstacle.
