hort answer. Yes. If you have it hardwired so that it is on all of the time, then it will shorten the camera life. If you have a HU, like the Kenwood DNX9960, which allows you to turn the camera on and off, it works very well.

The image is like any other digital camera of that resolution. When you're moving, you really can't tell what you're looking at anyway because of the speed.
The image is pretty good, it's just that everyything is flying by quite rapidly.

This is wrong on any relevant scale. The electrical lifespan of these cameras is not a factor here. Would you worry about the sensor in your home video camera burning out? Not in your own lifetime.

If YU left your home video camera on all of the time, yes it would wear out. Rapidly.

No your video camera will be fine. I have hooked them up that way for ten years. Use a switched power source, not constant power. Ignition or accessory. Myself and every other installer that I have worked with hook back up cams up this way. So, anyways, IMO it is not a worry.
At speed the camera is only slightly more fuzzy than standing still.
