March 13, 201214 yr comment_281965 Customer called me today and asked can he have a camera in reception on a school, solely for viewing the front door when the doorbell is pressed. Easy enough.... no recording, view only..... He then asked can we have another camera on a gate around the corner only for viewing purposes on the same monitor? Is this possible without a second monitor or some kind of multiplexer? no recording just viewing for reception staff...

March 13, 201214 yr comment_281966 Some monitors have two inputs, and buttons on the front to switch between them?

March 13, 201214 yr comment_281968 Or use a 2 way switcher, or a quad if you want both seen at the same time The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

March 13, 201214 yr comment_281969 Get a PIP unit if they don't want 2 monitors. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

March 13, 201214 yr comment_281970 Just buy a quad, though they have gone up in price since the demand for them is not so high, alternately you may find a DVR without HDD cheaper Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/32701-two-cameras-one-monitor-no-recording/#findComment-281970 Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...
