Auto switch camera layout

[Bradfm]

So this is what I got-

I have a 15" Echo Show mounted on the wall in the kitchen. On that display is UI3 with a driveway and front door camera split screen. The front door is a standard Reolink 410 and the driveway was just switched out with a refurbished Riolink Trackmix for just over $100. (It's the camera with two lenses; one telephoto and one regular). It also has auto tracking. Works great. Right now, I have the system set to record on motion trigger with continuous sub with both simultaneous feeds (telephoto and regular).

I'm wondering if it's possible to set up Blue Iris that upon motion trigger, the camera group view on the Echo Show will switch from wide-angle/front door to telephoto/front door then revert after a period of time.

When setting up the Reolink Trackmix, Blue Iris considers it two separate cameras since it has a telephoto and regular lens.

Is this functionality possible?

Thanks

It is possible, but pretty involved to set up. You'll need to use MQTT, and connect Blue Iris and the Echo Show's UI3 instance both to the same MQTT server. Then upon the desired events, have Blue Iris send MQTT messages that command UI3 to change its view. You can read about UI3's MQTT support here: UI3 Help

Great, thank you for the reply. I will look into this.
