Couple of Questions
Posted: Fri Sep 01, 2023 5:32 am
Hi,
I have recently swapped to a Blue Iris setup from a Hilook(Hikvision) 8 Cam NVR. I changed for more functionality as well as the option to add additional cameras.
Server specs are:
i7-770k @ 420GHX
32Gigs Ram
nVid GTX1060 6GB
HDMI port 1 -> TV in my Office which I use to interact with Blue Iris terminal.
HDMI port 2 -> Main camera output display via 4 WAY HDMI splitter displaying around the house.
I've managed to get cameras loaded up ok but have a few questions
1.
My old setup displayed its output to a few screens around the house run VIA the HDMI splitter and would have all cameras displaying and upon triggered movement it would open triggered camera full screen for a few seconds then go back to displaying all cameras again.
My question is what is the best way to achieve a similar function. I assume its through groups somehow but am struggling to figure this out. Can anyone point me in the correct direction please?
1.1 Is it possible to give a particular camera priority over the rest Eg. If the camera at my front door triggers I'd like that to take priority on my output displays over my back yard camera so I can watch the amazon man dropping the parcel
and not have the back yard camera over ride this if it happens to trigger at the same time because its caught my wife hanging up washing or something.
2. further to question one, when I open said cameras in a Desktop frame in order to move the frame to my second screen which is the HDMI splitter therefor sending it to the other monitors around the house I am unable to untick the 'Show Camera Names' & 'Show Camera Boarders' options while in a desktop frame. Am I doing something wrong or is this not possible? I'd like to have a flush seamless few images and not have it look like each camera is inside its own little window.
Thanks for any help the Braintrust is able to send my way.
Regards
