One action for each split8 with a focus on each camera. Featuring the latest High Definition 1.3MP (960P) Video at 30fps with Latest Ambarella Chipset for Superior Picture Quality and Clarity, the Amcrest HDSeries camera soaks in the entire scene, dynamically painting all the vivid colors and rich imagery, pixel by pixel, onto your computer screen or smartphone in full 1280x960 resolution at 30 frames per second (FPS). I have an 8 channel NVR that I'm setting up for this, so I created 16 actions. Once you figure out what commands are working with your NVR, now it's time to make the action commands to control. group=3 will be cameras 13,14,15,16 on a 4-way split. if you have 16 cameras, group=0 will be the first 4 cameras.

So, if there is motion at my driveway, I can "mode=split8&group4" which will bring up the 8 camera view with camera #5 (my driveway camera) as the big camera image.įor a 4-way split. The larger window in the above is Camera #1 on the NVR, "group=0" "split8" is the 8 camera view with 7 small windows and one larger window. "split1" is a single channel on the screen. What worked for me (Single camera on the monitor):Ĭode: Select all worked for me (8 cameras on the monitor with 1 large camera image)Ĭode: Select all me, channel is always "0". When I tried "channel=0", it returned information. So, on the NVR, I created a "Indigo" account with it's own password)Ĭode: Select all I tried "channel=1" I got an error. (versus a camera, an NVR may only allow a user to access the NVR in one instance only.). Note: I'm not sure if I was running into a max-user thing on the NVR. Step 1: Figure out which channel, mode and group to use: (I did this experimenting on google chrome browser before putting in as a script on Indigo)

#2 sounds really fun and cheeper than the encoder option, but will have the same RTSP streaming lag issue that got me here. Option 2 would be to use the BlackMagic ATEM Mini to have multiple HDMI sources run directly into the indigo Mac and stream out via RemoteSight or SecuritySpy. One option would be to use a HDMI -> HDTV encoder which would put the NVR on all TVs via COAX or via HDHomerun. My attempt now is to route the HDMI from the NVR to a TV. After trying the RTSP route, I wan't happy with the delay in pulling a camera image. Short story: My end-goal is to figure out the least expensive way to put a CCTV camera image on a TV screen.
AMCREST SECURITYSPY HOW TO
I figured out how to script the Amcrest NVR to change the layout of the physical monitor attached to it.
