Default Re: Dual back-up cameras

For a simple video switch you can use this:
Hobbyking 3-Channel FPV Video Switcher

You may want to also consider one camera on one of these:
FPV Fiberglass Pan-Tilt Camera Mount L-Size

Or if you want a big *** mirror go for four cameras!:

If I'm correct, I'm doubting if there will be a cable that has the Clairon connector and one that is compatible with the camera.

I just took a look and figured if I could get a really good 170 degree camera, I'm guessing that below the right back-up light on the bumper would be a good place to start. Obviously I'd make sure it was working, then tape it in various positions to see if I can get both the three quarter right rear and much of the rear with one camera.

I doubt much if I could do it, but wonder if using an exterior switch, I could then switch back and forth if I mounted another camera on the opposite corner. I gather there are generally three wires on the cameras, so it seems possible.
