Auto-on 360 camera

Does anyone know of an aftermarket product that automatically turns on the 360 camera at low speeds?

It can be configured to only turn on the Cameras when you approach an object within 2' of the front bumper. Reverse is automatic, and nothing is needed.

Don't the actual cameras work under 10MPH?
Our E-Class does that under 10mph, (used to be 17mph which was very useful in parking lots). We have a fav (*) button that could be configured to bring up the cameras.

yes, but ya have to hit the button..... With Curb Alert, the Cameras will turn on automatically only when the front bumper is within 2' of an object. Totally Automatic... For us lazy people.....
