If your tv lights are set to “auto” then the only time the camera will have power is when the tv lights all come on ( not daytime running lights) . If it’s raining and the windshield wipers come on most cars /trucks set to “auto” will bring on all the lights as if it were dark outside. And obviously when it gets dark while set to auto you will have power to the camera.

I leave mine on auto and only switch the parking lights on when I want to view the camera for a min or so.
I’m not very happy with my garmin camera and will be looking for a different plug-in camera and will hardwire it.The garmin rv 785 will accept a wired camera input as well
