Fozzie Bear 0 Posted October 29, 2021 I have a number of Qvis-Eye5mp IP cameras both bullet and dome connected to my Qvis Falcon NVR. I have recently moved all the cameras from the built in POE ports on the NVR to a separate POE switch and configured them to be on my local Lan subnet. This allows me to access them directly and also allows the NVR to be located under my main TV in the lounge. I would like the tv to change to the NVR HDMI input when movement is detected on either of two selected cameras, The TV has HDMI CEC capability meaning it changes input if a connected device (TV Box, Blue Ray Player etc) is turned on. I was hoping to be able to use the NVR alarms to trigger an HDMI switch which will connect the NVR to the TV and therefore change channel, Has anyone else achieved something like this? Also and can anyone explain if it is possible to pick up the alarm signal from the NVR. I am not sure if the NVR motion detection is by change in image or if the cameras have infrared motion sensors. Its not detailed on the spec sheet. In the NVR there are options for sending an email or uploading to an FTP server. I could possible use IFTTT to use the email as a trigger which activates a smart switch but that might be a bit laggy due to time taken by email and IFTTT response. Failing that is there a manufacturer that makes an IP dome camera where I can pick up a motion trigger signal from the camera directly?

tomcctv 190 Posted November 14, 2021 Hi. Your system is the TVT it depends on if you have a falcon that has alarm inputs /outputs on the back of the unit people used to do this years ago with auto remote change modules but ended up switching them off as not reliable and forever switching tv over it might be easier to add a doorbell sound to your nvrs file so as you get a sound on movement and just switch tv over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
