    Any Dahua NVRs that support DUAL HDMI output?

    Maybe Im wording this wrong... but my single LCD can not display all 8 cameras clearly. I would like 4 on one screen and 4 on the other screen. Do they make a simple HDMI splitter that can take the 8CH and display on two screens? Or a NVR that has hardware controlled two HDMI outputs? Thank you
