Camera "POP OUT" on input
Not planned
Camera pop out should be added as a camera rule. A scenario where this would really be helpful is:
Someone rings a doorbell, a relay can trip the camera input which in turn will POP that camera to full screen for a predetermined time.
This is a feature on all decent VMS platforms. We would really love to have this feature added.
Thank you.

It's a great suggestion and something we're currently working on. In addition to a single camera-view-on-event what do you think about having a layout-on-event rule?

That's great news! It would really open up using this VMS for many more applications. A layout on event can also definitely add value as a way to pull up certain cameras on event. (I really like that one)
Another great option would be to have some sort of dedicated I/O device to attach (Via USB or some other interface) that would really allow many more options to an install.
When can you predict it'll be available for us?

Hi Tuli - Good news! Layout-as-an-action has been renamed Alarm Layout. The Alarm Layout feature will be a pre-configured Layout that will give users the ability to create a rule to show a camera on Alarm Layout. https://networkoptix.atlassian.net/wiki/display/NR/Nx+Roadmap

Tony,
The Alarm Layout is a great feature, but there isn't a way to resume normal viewing after a predetermined time without user interaction.
The option is helpful if a door is opened and a camera alarm layout pops up. It would make sense that whatever was being viewed before the alarm happened came back onto the screen after a set period of time.

I really like the idea of "Layout as an action" and the ability to set a time limit for how long it shoud show before resume to normal/standard/previous layout.
I also posted some suggestions to http://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/articles/217572898-Alarm-Layout
1. Add some settings to choose pr client or user if the alarm layout should show. So that we can control this in a better way in larger systems with multiple clients.
2. Use the video wall to show alarm layouts. I do now know if that is possible now?

Hi Tony Luce Any update on getting the alarm layout minimize on some sort of schedule? (say, 10-30 seconds). This is important in allowing an alarm to populate full screen and then still allow regular layout monitoring on a screen that is not actively manned.
Thank you.

Hi!
Unfortunately, we don't plan this exact feature. But we may include Close layout Action in the event rules, along with some Time-based event, that will be triggered once N mins.
Actually, see the solutions that we discuss here: https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360051282374-Synchronized-Alarm-Layout
Combined with our planned Event Rules revamp this may help you. But new Event rules won't come next year, I suppose.
For the time being, you can also send Generic Events periodically to Nx to switch users to another layout (not closing the Alarm layout, though, just changing the tab).
