How are you supposed to hook up 2 camera male RCA plugs? Unit has one female and ONE male inputs instead of 2 female inputs!

The MALE is AV1The FEMALE is AV2you may or may not need an adapter for one of the hook-ups,as I needed an adapter for the male connector, no biggie.

When I got mine, it came with all 3 females. I think the pic they used might of been a different part. But I paid for two and both of them came with females. No male rca. Hope this helps you. Great monitor tho! Works great. Take care. B

My receiver has 2 output, so I haven't tried this - but the directions indicate you only need hook up one RCA jack.

With RCA inputs, you would need a "y" into mini male cable. Like this: http://www.amazon.com/3-5mm-Stereo-Male-Dual-Y-Cable/dp/B001UG823K/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1427376122&sr=8-6&keywords=Y+rca Hope that helps.

correct me if I'm wrong, but there is only one video input right? So only option is a video split or a y rca two inputs one out put plug into TV, but one will over power the other so you the an actual switch with the the same two inputs one out into TV. You can buy at Walmart, electronic store.

Pins? There are no pins. Just the three connectors. You can switch between 2 RCA inputs. However, I found it best to keep it simple with just one camera per screen and installed a separate screen for a second camera. That way I didnt have to mess with switching views while driving.

Fyi your asking other customers. Not the manufacturer. This stereo has one video rca input (backup camera) and two rca video outputs.

This isn't an answer, but clarifying the question, since I have the same problem. I expected two cables - a red and a white to go from L/R audio out on the TV to L/R audio in on the box. What I GOT with the unit was ONE cable, split into R/W (two plugs) on one end and with only ONE plug (black) on the other end. So how do we connect four ports with the three plugs? This has nothing to do with the power supply. Thanks!

The other comments say you need an adapter, so I'm not gonna go over that again. Here is an adapter you could use: http://www.amazon.com/VONOTO-3-5mm-splitter-adapter-Female/dp/B00RMJKO80/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid;=1431913064&sr;=8-9&keywords;=2+female+1+male+adapter

Don, I don't know for certain why you're having the problem as I bought my second camera (520) a year or more after the first (575 with monitor),set it up and followed the monitors set up methods. According to the "book" I can add two more to the se up . Hopefully there is a secret in the book that could show the way. If no luck write again when I have more time to check the section of instructions I used. Good luck. Galen C.

There is no Y connector that I know of. Just the one cable. What is your reason to need two? Do you have a second camera?

I had the same problem, until I realized that the other wire was a standard cctv power wire..same as on the cameras. Just plug it into an extra adapter cable.

I bought this and installed my security system years ago. To the best of my memory, all RCA connectors are male, but either the set came with adapters or I bought the adapters from Radio Shack. The picture seems to show two adapters. Depending on the camera and DVR brand, you probably will not need the adapters anyway, only to join two lengths of cable together.

yellow is female camera video hookup; red is male sound hookup; black is to power pack. if you have a different setup, you can buy adapters.I don't know your camera connections, but the above are the wiring connections. I hope this answers your question. regards. if you're not sure ask another q. and i'll try to help if I can.

Why are you buying adapters? The rca connections are on the back where they belong and if you want to connect secondary input /output devices use the rca male/female Y cables not to mention why would you want to connect all those cables in front of the unit? In my private computer and audio system setup I have a computer,two receivers,a 300 disc cd player,a turntable and a cd recorder and they can all play through two different sets of speakers. I used rca male and female Y cables to achieve the task. I can record from all of them and play back from the recorder. USE THE Y CABLES.

there is a US male (input) plug on the unit, and a US female (output) recepticle - makes no sense to use both at the same time - this unit is an adapter, not a transformer.

The camera has a short male power cord which you then plug the longer female adapter cord into. So, camera -> short little male power dealy || female power dealy -> long power cord -> wall prong || wall outlet. ( || = connectible/disconnectible )

If you have two cameras using the yellow composite RCA output and are not concerned with audio I can see no reason that you could not do this. Simply connect camera 1 to the #1 input and camera 2 to the #2 input. You could then connect the switch to your monitor with either the #1 or #2 output. Keep in mind that this unit can also handle audio (red & white connections). Hope this helps.
