I see regular questions on how to get an IP camera to provide a spot monitor output. For example as you walk into your local supermarket, there is a camera that is displayed on a TV screen showing your face. (Often next to useless image but I’m not writing about that today)
With IP video cameras, you sometimes get a composite output but not always so what I do is get a digital signage display PC, which costs around $800 and bolts to the versa mount on the back of an LCD monitor of what ever size suits.
From there I can run either a web viewer of the camera or the full VMS software, depending on the license structure. This not only gives the spot but also full flexibility in displaying other cameras, sequences or salvos.
