0 samuel 25 Share Posted March 25, 2017 somehow, when you have an network receiver, like the denon 4100 type... you can sent a command to the receiver what switch the input where the camera is been connected to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Matt654 0 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) You will need a 3rd party controller like URC, RTI, or similar use it to send http command to control av receiver, tv or display to camera input. otherwise use ircache however i have not tried this. you can see here. we used RTI to paused movie then switch input to cameras, also turn lights on Edited July 15, 2017 by Matt654 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

0 sitaylor 4 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I have the opposite issue. The security door in the apartment complex has a TV channel dedicated to the front door downstairs which comes through via the aerial cable. I have used a HDHomeRun Connect which have used take the TV feed onto the Intranet which can be viewed as an MPEG file..for example... http://192.168.0.19:5004/auto/v20.mpeg, but I'd like to see this as a "camera" in Fibaro. I have tried using that address as the MPEG path in the standard Camera virtual device without success. Does anyone have any ideas? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Robert Folbigg 22 Share Posted July 17, 2017 This is easily achieved with Kodi (formerly XBMC), see below screen shot from my TV when someone comes to my door: I also have cameras pop up when a vehicle enters my property from any gate and also as a baby monitor on movement in the children's rooms at night. If you don't mind getting your hands a little dirty Kodi can add an entirely new layer to you HA system. Check out this post to find out more: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 AutoFrank 363 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Thanks @Robert Folbigg I'll add that to my "winter" project list as it'll be a good one to get stuck in when the night close and the rain is hammering outside Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was definitely worth doing though as I can now watch all my movies and streaming services plus control my home from the one interface on all of my screens. FYI I am using Raspberry Pi's on my screens and a virtual windows 7 PVR backend with 8 tuners installed. This windows box serves up media and live TV to 8 screens in my home.

0 ggrizliv 3 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) RVELTHOEN: I have Urmet audio doorphone, so when someone push my doorbell button, doorphone ring and fired up my fibaro relay. And then I have a scene, when relay is on, DENON switch to my AUX2 source (cameras) for 20 seconds, and then switch back to primary source. On Denon AUX2 source I have DVR/NVR recorder connected, so i see live camera stream on TV. I have no TV with PictureInPicture function yet like Robert Folbigg on his picture Edited July 18, 2017 by ggrizliv Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 rvelthoen 10 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Nice, i have a scene starting when somebody presses my doorbel and mail me a screenshot, but my cams are IP cams, so no HDMI output. So i can not make that, but thanks for the explanation of your setup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 ggrizliv 3 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) I have both IP (3x - 3Mpx) and CVI (2x - 2Mpx & 1x - 3Mpx) cameras on DVR/NVR recorder.
