Backup camera input splitter?

I'm thinking about getting a camera for my my front bumper to go along with my backup camera and was wondering if they made a splitter to run multiple cameras off of one monitor.

Nevermind. Did a lot of trial and error google searching last night and after about 30 minutes finally found one.

Now I think I'm going to strategically place some very low profile cameras on my truck (front bumper, corners of the front bumper, the normal reverse camera spot, etc...) and have them all on switches where I can trigger each individual one when I need it. I've seen offroaders and rock crawlers do this similar thing with camers under their trucks to make sure they're going to clear certain objects without snagging some expensive pieces of drivetrain. Not sure how they had theirs set up to trigger, but switches should work for me just fine.

Boy we're all over the map this morning.

I don't know if there's any "plug and play" systems out there but I would surely think you could get a video splitter and another camera to work with what you've got. I might have to look into this myself.

Nah, I found some multi-female rca to one male rca splitters for plugging multiple inputs into one source. I didn't save any of the links, but you can just go to google and type in something like "2 female rca to 1 male rca" and it should come up. I can't remember if I found anything for hooking up more than 2 though. But you could buy several and just start linking together I guess.

[edit: i orginally said more than one...i mean more than 2]

Good find. However, most backup cameras are RCA. That looks like it uses an s-video type plug.

This is more or less what I was looking at
Amazon.com: audioquest y splitter rca
