Having hit a deer landing on my home strip a couple of months ago, the
whole concept has traction here.
BTW, I hit and killed the little dear with my main gear while deep in
the flare landing at dusk. Ironically, I had taken off an hour earlier
from a hard surface strip with a herd of deer feeding on the grass
crosswind strip (between 2 deer stands). I was all eyes when landing at
home and it didn't make a bit of difference.

One of the features is that the camera is oblivious to direct light, even the sun. No impact. You can keep your eyes outside and just confirm through the display. Awfully good for finding that pattern traffic and even spotting those deer trying to ruin your landing.
There are several videos on you tube which provide an example. Check out the one coming into Aspen. Pretty phenomenal. Imagine taking off to the east from Aspen on a dark night (somewhat unusual) and seeing every pebble out there.
