Never seen a camera but I did see an old timer that used a larger mirror to watch his rods. It was a waterski type mirror. He had a bad neck and couldn't turn around that good and it worked well for him

Mirror is way cheaper, serves the same purpose, just isn't as cool looking.

I think the mirror is a great idea the two problems I have when I zip up my back door the clear plastic isn't so clear anymore and I fish with an dav who loves to drive and not miss anything that's happening

You can get several different models , wide view for pulling skiers and such, but I just haven't bought one. My buddy has one rigged on his boat and works great. But probably not if your back curtain is "foggy", lol.

Better than 6 guys in the back of the boat all watching the rods and boat on auto

That is almost a funny statement with all the technology, most of us use without even thinking. I mostly want the mirror for fishing alone, but since I got an auto pilot, (lol) it's easier to drive and watch poles.

Adjustable mirror is the simplest (old school) way to go., The swivel arm units used for depth finders and GPS' with a suitable mirror attached and well positioned (suction cup mount can be helpful) can be a real help when fishing alone and in heavy traffic.
