But the question I have here is this: when simply using the av input, will the camera stay on while the car is in gear and moving in reverse? Has anyone tried this to confirm?

No it will switch off once a gear is selected. There is a way to bypass that though I don't have the skill set to do it.

So this doesn't sound like a very feasible option. Does anyone have any ideas for a real option?

You would need some sort of a toggle switch that passes 12VDC+ (preferrably true ignition) through a diode that is then tapped into the Reverse+ input on the video monitor you're using. VERY easy for any moderately skilled mobile installer.
