negative... the lens is on the frame, not the mirror. So when it folds, the camera doesn't move

Cameras are on the base, not the mirrors, so shouldn't change. But I don't know if folding them in deactivates the camera.

I love the 360 Camera for parking in my garage or any parking spot for that matter as I only back in and love corner spots where I hug the curb and don't want to scratch the rims. I also use it in many tight radius drive-thru's so I don't hit the curbs.

I use it so much my wife now complains that her 2017 Escape doesn't have it.

So after someone mentioned if the side cameras were blurry, and mine looked blurry I took a closer look. They aren't blurry, its just that the view on the screen is grey where the side camera video shows, and if anyone has worn progressive lenses, you will know if you aren't looking directly at something, they tend to mess with vision. The grey overcast on the screen(Why its there, who knows) makes the view appear blurred, but if I shift in my seat and look at it direct instead of at an angle, it is a clear picture. So not out of focus, just the way its presented makes it appear out of focus when viewed at an odd angle.

I find the 360 view great for parking ... mostly to see where the front and rear ends are. The stitched-together birds-eye view is great for that. I also use the 360 view for getting the truck parked the correct distance from the edge of my curving driveway. If I'm in the right spot, my wife has a good lane to back her car out. With the 360 view, I nail it every time.

Where exactly are the 4 cameras mounted? Could someone provide photos of the cameras in mounted locations?
Thanks.

I think I can adequately explain where they are..

#1 - front grill
#2 - tailgate handle area
#3 and #4 - under the base of the side mirrors, not on the moveable part.
