Camera Group Streams / Multi-view Streams?

Hi Everyone,

I've tried searching both on these forums and through Google, but I haven't been able to find an answer. I may not be wording my searches properly, I don't know. Anyway, on to the question.

In Blue Iris, you can group cameras together and then view a stream of that group via a URL. Are there any NVRs that offer that same functionality?

I am planning an upgrade of my camera system and integrating it with Home Assistant. In testing, I've gotten Home Assistant to accept both individual cameras and cameras groups from Blue Iris. From there, Home Assistant can send those streams to a chromecast for easy viewing throughout the home. If an NVR can output a similar group stream, I could explore using an NVR in the new build instead of Blue Iris.

Thanks!

I doubt it. That requires decoding all the streams, synchronizing, scaling, and combining their video frames, and re-encoding a new stream. I've seen no evidence of any NVR doing that.

Thanks for the response. I was leaning towards the Blue Iris setup and that just solidifies it.
