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 monitor for the driver. Key components mentioned are a panic strip that activates recording and the need for specific video splitter leads and a 12-volt five-pin relay. The participants suggest using powered video splitters and provide links to ready-made switches and relay options from online retailers such as Nextag and Digi-Key.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of DVR systems and their components
  • Familiarity with 12-volt electrical systems
  • Knowledge of video signal types and splitters
  • Basic skills in wiring and circuit diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Research powered video splitters suitable for DVR systems
  • Explore options for 12-volt five-pin relays and their specifications
  • Investigate electronic switches that can be integrated into the system
  • Review circuit diagram design principles for vehicle installations
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for automotive technicians, electronic engineers, and anyone involved in the installation and setup of surveillance systems in vehicles, particularly emergency services like ambulances.

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.
