Changing cameras
Scott, when my backup camera went out, I also checked with rvcams.com
and was told that with no camera with infrared sensors would work
properly with a plexiglass or glass cover over them. I ended up
replacing my black & white Sony camera with the matching (but newer)
model since I didn't think it would look right to eliminate the cover
on the back. Typically black & white cameras have a lower lux rating
(the minimum light they can resolve) than color cameras.

Sounds like you may have to go with a non infrared camera or use an
approach such as that suggested by Rob. The folks at rvcams.com are
great to deal with and will bend over backwards to help you out.
