Default Rear view camera for tow plane?

We have a mirror on each side of the fuselage in our PA-25, just in front of the cockpit, and they are both convex, but if the glider is off to the side very much at all, you loose sight of it. Has anyone installed a rear view camera with a screen in the cockpit like a lot of newer cars now have?

From what I remember about that thread, the same way you'd miss the glider in the mirror. It's just a bacon.
Sorry, speck.
