Just started to use BI and I have all my cams showing ok. I have 7 cams and there is a big space between my frames (side by side)... I've seen screen shots where the Cams are close, like the view I have from my NVR to a monitor. Just cannot find where to configure this. Thanks.

@KCulver Right click and select layout 1:1 and 1-up...also maximize the screen...
Side note, not related, camera properties >event color...you can set each camera to a different color so they display independently on the timeline.

Thanks but my layout was already set as suggested except for maximize screen. When I maximize the screen, the frames do get closer but not touching. Also, thanks for the heads up on using different colors for each camera.

How close are they now..the issue is that blue iris is displaying the cameras true to resolution...so it wont stretch the image horizontally if there is no adequate room vertically. You will see that if hide camera 5 on bottom they will all get close together...you can force a specific resolution using the anamorphic setting in the video tab, but the image will not look right..

BTW, it could be that what I am seeing is the result of 'opening in desktop frames?' If I do that, it appears I can manually arrange the frames with more freedom as to side-by-side.

if you open desktop frames you will be opening new windows for each camera its will become a mess..
