I too am building a new home. Whether right or wrong I can tell you how I solved the challenge of wanting the identical function. I like you brought each camera back to my local rack server I built for the home. Nothing fancy just runs iTunes, some home automation stuff, file server and most importantly my favorite security camera software. I put a second video card in the server and put the camera display grid on the second desktop. I then took the digital output of that second card into a HDMI 6x distribution splitter. Then from the splitter Cat6 to each TV with depending on the TV a baulin/receiver back into each TV's AUX HDMI IN. Viola! From any TV, just press "Camera" on TV remote and of course the TV switches over to the Camera HDMI IN. A lot of peace of mind for me with the wife and daughter able to operate without any tech knowledge from anywhere they are in the houses. Further I used FOSCAMS free IPhone/IPad App on all phones and pads around the house. This allows anyone to pick up a device and see cameras. Finally let me add we have more than one home and this solution allows all homes to be seen from one screen on any device or TV from any home AND anywhere in the world....whew.... Hope this helps.
