It depends on how you want to set it up, but if you're having a separate screen then the switching between cameras is often a function that's built-in. For example, the screen I've bought has two inputs, one primary and one secondary. You connect the first camera - the one you'll use mostly - to the secondary input. This one could be switched on by a feed from the reverse light circuit. The second camera is connected to the primary input and operated by a separate switch (or perhaps a two way switch between them - the choice is yours). The clever bit is that when the screen detects a feed via the primary input, it automatically switches the display to that picture. Turn the second camera off again and it switches back to the first camera.

I don't know whether screens that are built into stereos have that function or not, but it's worth looking out for.

That's exactly the set up I boght from Ebay: link

Here's a link to the instructions, I'll look out the actual camera link in a mo.

Seems like you can link two together , say for example one at the front and one at the rear, so you'd probably be able to have two at the rear with a big long cable (pretty sure I have seen caravan trailer plugs on interweb)

http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-...-26205.htm camera link - think its renamed cmos-310 now but same thing.

There is a two camera kit available as well http://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/kenwood-rev...34215.html

hope this helps

Thanks DJ

I changed your link slightly to get it to work..

That looks a neat camera, I wonder if it would connect to a standard monitor instead of a Kenwood head unit?

Sounds interesting, I like the idea of having two cameras for when im towing. And perhaps connected to a rear view mirror monitor that clips onto the existing mirror?
