Need a video switch to toggle between 2 cameras

Recommended Posts

I have an 8 channel DVR and 8 cameras. I'm going to purchase a 9th camera. I still only want to record and watch 8 channels at any given time but on one channel I would like to be able to manually select from 2 available cameras. For instance, on channel 5, during the day I would like to record from a camera at my dog kennel, and on channel 5 during the night I would like to record from a camera looking at my gate.

 

Does anybody know a source for some type of manual switch for BNC video? I can imagine it would look similar to a splitter with an A/B switch only it would work in reverse having 2 inputs and 1 output. If such a thing exists then I would just hook it to the DVR patch cable input on channel 5 then flip the switch as needed each day. Please chime in if you know where I might find one. Thanks, Paul
