Not sure of where to post this but figured it's hardware and it's an accessory so here goes. I got this email this morning and it looks promising, perhaps for someone. Presently I can view some selected cams from my BI server on my 65" Sony TV using TinyCam Pro. The only reason why I have this setup is that for now I don't have another way to see some cams from the living room. But it's clumsy in that when I'm viewing TV and want to see a cam or two I press the button to launch an app on the TV its takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r for the cams to come up and by then, whatever I wanted to see has come and gone. I plan to move the BI server to a seldom used coat closet near the front door and hang a 32 to 42" flatscreen on the outside of the wall of that closet which faces the living room. I'll be able to see all cams all the time from the living room just by turning my head. I just need to get a...yep.....a "round tuit". In the meantime, this device caught my eye. They call it "low cost" ($180) and for them, it is, as many of their other items are $500 to $4,000. Anyway, I like the PiP feature and the IR remote. I imagine one could plug a FireStick into one of the HDMI ports and sideload TinyCam onto it also. Right now I stream a group of cams from BI using MJPG to the TinyCam app on the Sony (Android) TV and it looks pretty good, just clumsy mechanically as I mentioned going from TV (Dish satellite DVR on HDMI-1) to TinyCam app. View product ==>> HDMI Dual Screen Splitter/Multiviewer with PiP and IR Remote.
