Hey all, I'm looking for ways to view my cameras in every room besides using and relying on phones and tablets. Phones are nice and all but I need something that's always on like a camera panel or something. Currently I use an Dahua NVR+cameras that's connected to an old flat screen PC monitor that's always on in a guest room. I'd love to have something like that in every room. The reason why I don't like using my phone is, as strange as this sounds, it takes too long to pull up my cameras.
First I have to unlock my phone then I have to open the camera app if its not already running and wait a few tiny seconds to see my cameras. Now it may sound nitpicky but I'll explain in a bit. Another reason why I don't like using my phone(or tablet) if I decide to leave the camera app up all the time then that drains its battery and gets hot, plus I'd like to look at my phone for other things.
The reason why I want to be able to view my camera much faster is I had a recent incident this week at my home where I needed to pull up my cameras but I was nowhere neither near my phone or my monitor and ended up missing the incident by a few seconds.
If any of you older users remember helping me and my first topic from a couple of years ago, I had another car related incident but thankfully I had these Dahua camera to catch it all better this time however being able to pull up the cameras in time made me miss everything that went on. Pulling up cameras on your phone may seem simple and fast but for me, every second counted. I'd like something like maybe a wired display panel or something. Would also be neat if I could view my NVR from various tv's if that's possible. I guess they don't make 50+ft long HDMI cables lol
I'm also really not sure how to go about this if there are some panels I could get so I kind of need ideas.
