Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on setting up a DVR system for an ambulance, which includes a rear camera, a dome camera for the interior, and a panic strip for recording. The user seeks advice on the appropriate video splitter leads and a 12-volt five-pin relay for the system. It is noted that a powered video splitter is necessary, as traditional splitters do not suffice for video signals. Suggestions include ready-made switches and custom relay options available from electronic suppliers. The conversation emphasizes the importance of selecting the right components for effective DVR functionality in emergency vehicles.

I have been left a rough circuit diagram of an dvr system for an ambulance by a colleague who has since moved jobs .what the unit consists of is a camera on the rear of the vehicle with a monitor up front displaying the outside of the vehicle when reversing. a dome camera in the back of the vehicle that is looking down on the inside of the vehicle and the monitor up front can display this a panic strip running on the ceiling of the rear of the vehicle when pressed will start recording the inside rear of the vehicle i have a diagram of this which i can forward on what i need to know is what type of video splitter leads would i use and what type of 12volt five pin relay to use if it is not clear what i need i can send on the circuit diagram

Video splitter doesn't seem to fit with what you are asking for and unlike audio it would need to be a powered device, not a cable.

They sell ready made switches like this that could probably be used as is or modified.

Some potential roll your own relays

There are also various electronic switches w\that can be wired up.

Thread 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
