Paulknapp Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I'm looking for the latest best programming practice or driver recommendation to do the following: When the doorbell is pressed, I would like to display the corresponding camera video on all the TVs that are currently on as well as two (Master Bedroom and Kitchen) and new touchscreen wether on or off at the time of event. After a set amount of time or button push, I would like the TVs that were off to turn back off and the TVs that were on to return to previous programming (new snapshot driver?) Here are some details of my setup: Front Door Bell (Card Access Relay)Back Door Bell (Card Access Relay)Front Door Camera (Wirepath IP)Back Door Camera (Wirepath IP)Wirepath NVR Thanks!Paul
Cyknight Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Simply put, yes use the snapshot driver to 'snap' the current setting When Doorbell x is pressedtake snapshotset tv a to camera yset tv b to camera ydelay x seconds/minutesrevert to snapshot
South Africa C4 user Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 You can do this using bookmarks. A couple of points:1. You don't need the snapshot driver (although it may make it easier - not sure as I have not tried it yet).2. If you have the new T3 Touchscreens then it is not possible on these Touchscreens.3. You will need to go to each Touchscreen / OSD and create the bookmark for the relevant camera by saving the camera as a favourite. There will already be a bookmark for all cameras.4. Programming is then simple:On doorbell push event Set BooleanTV1 to false etc. go to NewCamera bookmark on Touchscreen1 If TV1 on Go to NewCamera bookmark on OSD1 Set BooleanTV1 to true Set BooleanKitchenTV to True If KitchenTV is off Set BooleanKitchenTV to False Turn on KitchenTV Go to NewCamera bookmark on KitchenTV Etc. Start Doorbell camera timerWhen the Doorbell camera time expires: If BooleanTV1 is true change source If BooleanKitchenTV is true change source If BooleanKitchenTV is false turn off kitchen TVHope that helps? I have skipped a few steps but they should be fairly obvious from the above?Good luck!
Cyknight Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Snap shot will make this WAY easier and more reliable - basically forget the 'old' style of doing this and use it.
South Africa C4 user Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Can snapshot snap certain devices only (e.g. Be used like bookmarks for, say a T3 without messing with other devices (lights TVs etc.)?
Cyknight Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 You select what you want to 'snap' for each instance of the driver.T3's themselves lack any option of 'bookmarking' still.
South Africa C4 user Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Pity! I thought Snapshot could be a workaround... O well maybe 2.8 will deal with this...
dwman113 Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Wow no bookmark on t3s? Am I the only one that thinks that is unacceptable?
South Africa C4 user Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 As long as they (or something eauivalent) appear in OS2.8 then it is OK... If not, the lack of bookmarks, screensaver pictures, custom home pages and apps is a huge step backward... I am eagerly awaiting OS2.8 in the hope that. My one T3 will suddenly become my favourite touchscreen (with these features) and thus lure me to replace my other 3 V2s...
