Cheapest/Lowest Power Monitoring Station

[Jason Garrett]

Been using Blue Iris for a while now and I love it. I would like to connect up a separate monitor or TV in my family room that will be solely for displaying the camera feeds. I'm looking for the cheapest possible way with the lowest power consumption that I can get while still having a decently large screen (24" or so).

I've thought about several different things, a compute stick, Android stick, Raspberry Pi, etc. I could log into the VM that I have running Blue Iris on my main server through Remote Desktop, or just use the custom web interface that has been shared on the forums here.

I know there are lots of options, I'm just looking for the most simple, least intrusive, and lowest cost option.

Thanks for any input!

I use a raspberry pi for this with Chromium in Kiosk mode.

Not the fastest but ok for my needs.
