Multiple camera monitors on Dahua NVRs

[river100]

What's the best way to setup multiple camera monitors at 5 locations for the newer Dahua NVRs?

Our existing cameras are running on Zoneminder. The 6 monitors use an android TV box with either Tinycam Pro or IP cam monitor Pro.

One of the Zoneminder servers strictly streams cameras to the monitors using the second low quality stream.

It works OK until you get 16 or more cameras going. Too many cameras and it crashes.

I'm currently setting up 2 Dahua 16 channel NVRs and just wondering how others do multiple monitors over the network.
Thanks in advance.

I use a ZVPro 820 to send my Dahua NVR's HDMI output to all the TV's in the house. It uses the existing coaxial antenna system wiring. The DVR's video is setup on an empty digital TV broadcast channel.

This modulator has two HDMI inputs. So it is capable of handling your two NVRs.

It is an expensive device. So not an attractive choice for most home installations.

I've done that in houses before. Channel modulators mixed in at TV head end.
It's just not practical in a 500 foot building.
Using an app you can get individual full screen on any camera, that's one thing I need.

Does the android tv box have a web browser on it? If so, you could do that.

Or if you can add apps, add DMSS to it.

I did add DMSS to one of them as a test yesterday. It does work but I'm looking for options that are tried and trusted.
Probably need to look into better Android boxes.
