Functionality of the switching electronics

After the 12V reversing signal is no longer present on the blue cable, the video output is switched to the input for a front camera for 10 seconds. During this time, the orange cable has 12V. After these 10 seconds the system switches off. The delay of 10 seconds only works if the circuit at the input of the front camera detects a video signal. If the circuit at the input of the front camera does not detect a video signal, only a delay of 5 seconds will work.
