Default Video Source switcher?

Is there such thing video source switcher? Pardon the stupid question as I'm a noob when it come to car A/V. Essentially what I'm trying to do is having two video source going into one monitor and the ability to switch from one source to another at will. My two sources are my head unit and my rear camera if it matters. Thanks.

Yeah..that's what I'm looking for but I was hoping it would be a bit more compact than that bulky thing. Thanks bro.

What kind of monitor do you have? Some of them already have a special input just for the rear view cameras that works automatically when you put your car on reverse. Some of them have 2 video inputs - RCA and S-video. You can buy a little adapter like this http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2 and run you rear camera RCA cable to S-video input on your monitor. There is also some special a/v switchers made for your specific monitor/HU like this one made for alpine http://www.ebay.com/itm/alpine-KCE-4...item20c2a02068 but I don't know which company do you have!

I used one in my old setup. I got it from RadioShack. Very compact. 2 in 1 out with A/B switches. Actually it had RCA for Audio and Video if you want to send audio with the source. I don't remember how they call it but explain to them or look around in the shop youself.
