In your case, I don't think running a camera 3 hours a day would be a big deal at all.

thanks alot, hopefully i can get around to installing it, its been sitting in my room for about a month now... i think im going to just wire it along with my amplifier, so everything turns on with one switch, switch-> carputer/amplifier/rearview camera.
