Yes, it only works when towing. I do know that there are some youtube videos to convert cameras to be energized when not towing and then have to monitor indoors for an "onsite security monitor", but there are no phone apps that I'm aware of.
The mounting of the side cameras was really trivial as you just replace the side marker lights with the furrion marker lights. I believe I reused one of the existing holes, fill the remaining and covered the filled holes with the body of the new furrion side light.
After only owning a trailer for 2 years but traveling over 16000 miles in it, the #1 most valuable feature of the camera the microphone...backing up the trailer with video and my wife being able to talk in a normal voice is nice.
Last, the second time around it is really nice to 'calibrate' the distance markers shown on the camera. We just put some markers every 5 feet, adjusted the camera angle on the back and noted down the distances of the "colored rectangles" on the monitor.
