Will it accept 2 video inputs; #1 for constant forward view and then switch to #2, backup camera, when shifted into reverse gear?

I only saw one harness for the video and there is no switch to change from line 1 to line 2 but you could probably add this externally and have one input into the mirror harness. I would contact the manufacturer.

The mirror is designed for only one input. Mito Company carries a switch and adapters that might work. Please contact them at 800-433-6486 to get a recommendation for the proper parts and then I can order it for you.

The Mirror has only one video input, so no, you can not do what your asking.

I only have half the answer... There are two inputs so I assume you'd be able to leave one on constantly for say a front view bumper camera. And I believe you can turn both off when you want to.. But verify my answer.

No, but, you would easily wire a 3-way switch to do this. Essentially when you put the car in reverse it sends a positive signal to the camera, you could wire a switch to manually send a positive signal to the camera when it's not in reverse. I plan to do this.

yes it should i switched cables to go from 1 output to 2 input so tht i can watch security cameras while still using computer

Hi. I too received a Reverse only camera with no way to switch to Front mode. Ask Amazon for refund. This is definitely a wrong description of the item and needs to be removed or corrected.

To my knowledge, no. The camera will automatically use the external one instead.

I have two cameras. You can set it up to automatically switch if you like or change it manually.

Yes you can. You can put it on a toggle switch. Do a search on google about putting a backup camera on a toggle switch. I read on youtube of a guy who actually did that and it worked out perfect.

If that unit has a video input or rear camera input, which it looks like it does - yes.

Should be 2, but unless you have direct line of sight between camera and reciver, it won't work.

No it can't be reversed. You would have to use this with a reversing monitor to do what you want. This is a very basic camera.

No, it will be on scan mode and will switch back and forth between the cameras every 10 seconds. We use that and it works great.

I don't think so. This device takes two inputs ( in my case a DVD player and an Apple TV signal, and sends them over one cable to the TV. I don't think it works in reverse. There is a device that will do what you need, however. You need an HDMI splitter. I have one in another room, and it plugs into AC power. There is one input ( from myDVR - or your Direct TV), and two outputs for sending to two different TVs. Here is a link to one http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?seq=1&format;=2&p;_id=8204&CAWELAID;=1329456282&catargetid;=320013720000011151&ca;gpspn=pla&gclid;=CKKHx4CMibcCFYtDMgodzBgAjg Good luck !

If you have it wired correctly, yes. Theoretically when you shift into reverse, the poser to your backup lights provides 12VDC to the camera. The signal from the camera makes the monitor power up through a separate 12VDC feed. (This connection is not defined very clearly in the instructions, I guess it is supposed to be intuitive. I found out about it after reading some feedback from other customers.)

Yes, but only if you find the sweet spots on the remote between up or down and left or right... but it will do both simultaneously. You'll find that you can really only use the camera live during panning when it's wide. When you are zoomed in the unit it jerky. I have five of these units. I love them!

I don't know, I haven't seen or tried that feature, but I'll check. I do have to say the camera has exceeded my expectations. The picture is crystal clear. I hardwired the rear of my 5th wheel and made a quick disconnect to my truck where I tie in the trailer connecter and everything works flawlessly. The only negative is that the angle of the rear camera required me to turn it upside down - the monitor allows you to reverse the image, but the text on the screen is reverse also, but it doesn't affect the ability to back up.

it doesn't have a connection for a backup camera, all it has is an a/v aux input but it is located on the front face (the aux labeled plug on the bottom right). There is no trigger wire or anything like that. there is no a/v input in the rear either so you can't hardwire a camera there (i wanted to do that but no luck). Check my review for more info, i suggest looking for another unit.

There in only 1 additional input port for the reverse camera. There is also an output port for a larger display screen.

There is a dedicated slot for a backup camera and a second A/V video input that will take whatever is feeding it (Camera, monitor dvd player, etc)
