Another poster said he tested a backup cam by plugging the video cable into his TV and touching the cam leads to a tool battery. I didn't have a battery with marked terminals so I tried a 9V battery instead and it was enough to get a signal. This is helpful to make sure the camera works if you don't plan to install it for a while after purchase, and during an install to make sure a signal is getting to the HU, trying out the view from different mounting points, etc. without having to make the power connections to the vehicle.
Worked for me, may work for you, don't know of any potential bad consequences, but try at your own risk.
