they're out there already, newer technology is allowing better performing models than was previously possible, in previous platforms there were some quality trade offs to do something like this, by the end of the year I'm sure there will be a number of good dual 1080p options to choose from with a variety of features
I would like to have it with both cameras 1080p, better would be 4ch all 1080p with latest cmos and cpu, or even front and back 1080p and side ones 720p.
For me personally would suit Itronics 2ch idea, i have car multimedia system that i can connect to and operate it, but for many others who do not have this option ( truck, bus drivers etc or cars with factory built headunits which does not support AUX ) for them having main unit with display is essential instead of buying separate display.
Dual 1080p is easy, 4 channels though...
Current 4 channel units as you're likely aware are limited in their performance, the greatest issue at this time though is they're quite install intensive so it's a very limited sector of the market right now, perhaps as camera systems become a bit more mainstream and the technology progresses things might change but I'd think it's hard to achieve (cost effectively) in the short term at least, no doubt someone out there is probably working on it, the Koreans maybe???
Also it's not just the cameras and install to think about it's the playback software to be able to make it an easy to mange experience for the end user to make sense of it all
Prior to 4 channel becoming mainstream we might see some front and back super wide cameras, I've seen some stuff based on the A7 platform that stitched 2 cameras together for a super wide playback and real HD quality, not like that cheap Chinese twin camera model that was out recently, this one actually worked, don't know if it will go there but you never know
I'm not sure if we'll see 4 channel units first or maybe some increase in the telematics collected and integrated into the video, there's a lot of data available from the OBDII port in modern vehicles and some security smarts that could possibly be incorporated, something we're looking into, anyway maybe getting a bit ahead of the discussion at this point in time
