If you are using Coax, then any simple A/B switch found at Radio Shack or electronics section of Walmart will work. If you are using a DVR that has two inputs, you'd need one A/B switch for EACH of the two lines. For example, you put the leads coming from the tripod into A of EACH box and then the two from the Roof Top into B. then on the 'out put' from the A/B box run a single short coax from EACH into the back of your DVR. If you are using HDMI cables, then they also make 'multi switches' for the HDMI cables.
