Zuhair Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 What is the best way to route DoorBird camera to TV when the button is pressed? Or to route any of the IP security camera to TV when Doorbird button is pressed. I'm using Cinigration driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gix656 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Easiest would be through the osd from your control4 controller. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gix656 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Easiest way is to run a HDMI from your controller to your TV. If you can't do that then if your Sony has Android TV there may be an app you could use. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the Doorbird button is pressed, the TV should switch to Doorbird camera or another IP camera. I have Hikvision which is integrated with C4, HDMI matrix connected to all TVs.

Elvis Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Following. I don't want to hijack his thread, but I'd want the doorbird video to come up on my Sony TV which is connected to my EA-3 via HDMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the NVR recording the Doorbird, do it this way. The integration is so much better. Plus you are not limited to the lower resolution streams that you need for Control4 as they can't handle the HD feeds. Don't bother messing with the controller feed. You can use the snapshot driver if you want and capture what source you have prior to door ringing. Then choose to switch back on time, door opening, button press.

eddy.trochez Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Send Command Control4 to room X Delay 2 seconds (you can adjust this depending on the time it takes to switch) Jump to Camera X in Navigator X for 30 seconds (You do this using the Navigation agent) Delay 15 seconds (You can adjust depending on how long you want the camera feed before it returns to your activity) Send Command Recall to Room X (This will take you back to your activity) Works like a charm.

I want to feed the camera to the TV via HDMI, not necessarily the Doorbird camera. (all the camera including Doorbird are connected to the NVR). All TVs are connected to HDMI matrix. As I'm using Composer HE, I'm unable to find advance programming documents to illustrate how to route the camera feed to a specific TV/Room.

lippavisual Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Is your NVR connected to your matrix? If so program the following: When doorbell is pushed: Take snapshot of "room" (where you want to show the camera on tv) Select NVR as the source in "Room" Select Doorbird Camera on NVR delay a certain amount of time of how long you want the camera up recall snapshot to return the room back to what it was doing before.

I would pick it over the doorbird. UNLESS you have to have video to your phone of whoever rang the doorbell.. then you are stuck with doorbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
