Hi,

In Full Screen mode, Is it possible to set a particular camera take the full screen up for a set duration based upon motion?

    This isn't currently a feature. While I like the idea, it may be a bit problematic, since what if multiple cameras have motion at the same time? It may result in the full-screen display reconfiguring frequently in ugly ways.

    At the moment, there is an option to draw a red box around cameras with motion (you can set this under Settings > Cameras > Actions). And, while in full-screen mode, you can double-click on the camera to put it full-screen. Then double-click again to go back to the grid view.

    This feature is actually very important for any CCTV system. Let me expand on this. Lets say someone has 9 cameras, even on a larger screen they will all be smaller taking 1/9th of the screen. When some motion occurs then it is so extremely beneficial to properly be able to see that person. In terms of security and safety this can possibly prevent a greater harm from happening by clearly seeing what is going acting quick. Most DVR/NVR manufacturers have been implementing this for a long time.

    The issue you mention regarding the multiple motions at the same time can be dealt with by having a setting which has a period in which it does not full screen the second camera till the set duration is over, so it doesn't keep changing so quickly.

    I am sure that many SS users would agree this feature would be extremely beneficial. Please consider implementing this.

    Does anyone else agree or have any suggestions?
