Dr. Sahab, photo and all other details please and warm welcome at TAI.
You can go for sensors for front.It does not look odd as such.If you manage to add front cam you can have the video feed once its out of reverse(guessing you video is not on mirror more like separate dash mount display).
In my friends car the front sensors have a very mild hum you have to switch off system & listen carefully(shown in pic).In BMW & some similar cars i have noticed when we have engaged reverse & then move ahead the front sensors are in beeping mode for some time.

I have some doubts regarding the front sensors-
Shouldnt the front sensors get activated only on applying first gear as while parking we usually use first gear.But as you have mentioned they get activated each time you apply brakes.This will lead to unnecessary beeps.
Also is it possible to use a switch for front sensors ?

Re: Need input on front bumper sensor or camera

That's because reverse camera images are flipped horizontally since the direction of the driver is opposite. This is not applicable or needed for front camera but since the reverse camera does it internally your only choice is to post process the image by some means. I have done a similar system in my car.
Dear all can you suggest how to know car radio is compatible with second camera. I am having Baleno RS 2017. It has rear camera & sensor pre installed. I have purchased one harness too but not getting the connection. Tried many times but no luck.

No. Rear camera will be flipped horizontally, giving you a wrong left & right position. You need a front camera.
Generally, OEM radios won't have provision for more than one input. You may have to go for a switch (tedious) or Secondary screen.

The switch is pretty clever.
About 20 years ago, We had 2 TV cable connections on a single TV (Well one was antenna for doordarshan and other was color cable)
We had rigged up a simple 6 terminal switch. The middle pins were Common. This is where TV went. Other Poles (Right & left) were where either cable went.
In your case, the screen/ Radio will be in middle, with a camera on each end pole.
This is what we had-

@bhvm I appreciate your helping attitude. But what I need to know is where should the camera input be connected in radio. As in these radios there is no RCA port. Whether I have to cut any wire and join the camera input or what. I have already taken power from battery through a switch, where I have attached the front camera trigger (SOS mode). For camera input I have purchased a camera control box ( as in high end German cars) which will support 4 cameras, as planning for two under ORVMs too. I dont want to cut any wire thats why purchased an additional harness too. But still confused about the connection i.e. how to send the input to the car radio. Hope I made it clear, if it is a silly question sorry for that but need help desperately as planning to have a car with surround view during Diwali holidays. Pics of the mention things are given too. Thanks..

You will have to figure is where and how the stock reverse camera connects to your radio. If its an OEM camera, its likely that they used a skewed, custom standard/Plug to connect rather than something as standard as RCA. All my Indian cars do connect the camera via RCA to their factory systems. I am not too well versed with baleno's wiring.
You will have to buy a spare harness and solder up some RCA females after figuring out what is what on a multi meter.
