Default Scart - S-Video Leads ?

I have 3 micromark pir cameras that use male scart connection plugs to connect them direct to a telly.
But is it possible to get a lead that converts the male scarts back into s video so I can plug them into a splitter unit that doesn’t have scart?
All those I found (only looked on eBay atm) seem to covert s- video to scart only like the one below?

I need one the other way round.

Funny you mention that - I just bought THAT lead (from that seller) and to connect my PC (s-vid) to my TV (scart) and although that says it should - it doesn't!!!

What I actually got was a lead the other way round - cable from is scart TO s-vid - perfect for what you want. I have confirmed this byt plugging it into my Freeview box (scart end) and the s-vid end into my TV (using adapter) and it works fine.

so buy that one, will work for what you want.

Best suggestion if you cant find one is to make your own, if you're ok with a soldering iron

Wouldn't bother - for a couple quid might aswell buy one - there's shit loads on ebay, just have to check the direction flow. As said, the one 900ss posted a link to IS the one he wants, (cos the muppet seller is thick as shit and selling stuff they know fuck all about )
