Is it possible to have two different UI3 streams?

[Sonnie]

I have a second monitor at my computer that keeps UI3 streaming constantly so I can use the computer without losing view of the cameras. I want to keep all the cameras viewable on that display.

We have a tablet on our kitchen cabinet that is streaming UI3. Is it possible to have that tablet display different cameras with some other code at the end of the URL?

Yea, just pick a different group. The "group=XXXX" is just calling the group name.

I currently have 2 instances of UI3 open in the same browser, both with different groups displayed.

I must be missing it, but I don't see how to create groups.

In Blue Iris.

Right click a camera and enter Camera Settings. You create and add cameras to groups on the General tab. Click this button, add a group, and then that group will show in the UI3 drop down.

After the group is created, you repeat the steps, but just select the group from the list instead of adding it.

Got it... much appreciated!

To remove a group, you remove all cameras from the group and then it will disappear. Sort of dumb and unintuitive, but that's how it works.

I have groups for Outside, Front Yard, Back Yard, Deck/Patio, Front Door, General (All cameras, but not all cameras), etc.

When reviewing clips in UI3, you will only be shown clips for the group you are in. So if you want to review your driveway and front door every morning, put those cameras in their own group. Ideally, you see nothing, but worst case you only see the alerts you are worried about.
