Frame window independent auto-cycle?
Posted: Sat Jan 11, 2020 10:11 pm
I have currently nine cameras spread over two floors in a retail operation. There is a local monitor at the Blue Iris NVR and a second monitor on the wall behind the cashier. The NVR has two HDMI ports, one feeds the local monitor and the other has a 35 foot HDMI cable over to the second monitor. In Windows it's set to Extend the monitor, and the cursor moves back and forth between the two screens.
What I've been trying to do is to have the second monitor cycle through all cameras independently of the local monitor. I'd still like to retain the normal use of the local monitor if possible. I have been experimenting with having multiple groups (Upstairs, Downstairs, Cycling--same as All Cameras) and trying different auto-cycle settings on cameras, groups and globally.
At this point, usually what happens is I end up with one camera displaying on the second monitor and when auto-cycle is activated the remainder of the group auto-cycles on the local monitor.
Like I said, if what I'm trying to do is possible then obviously there must be something I'm missing. But I've pretty much exhausted all the various combinations of auto-cycle settings I can think of. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks very much...
