I checked into this with the manufacturer, and the battery in the camera portion of the # 04298 wireless backup camera system is actually replaceable. The battery is sealed inside the camera, but can be accessed. The new battery would need to be soldered into the assembly, so it is a bit more tricky to replace than the battery in the monitor but it is doable.
When I asked about the lifespan of the battery, my contact at Swift Hitch said that although they have on occasion had to replace the battery in the monitor, they have not yet had an case where the camera battery needed to be replaced. It has an extremely long life, and for whatever reason seems to hold up much longer than the battery in the monitor.
You would not need to buy a new camera if the battery does eventually give out on you. The battery is available as a replacement from the manufacturer if needed.
I am including links to a video demonstration of the camera system, as well as a video going over the key features of the system for you.
