View Only Picture Frame Monitor

Post by bah12 »

So I got a hair up my butt to try to do something cool. What I want to achieve is a viewing monitor using an old TV gutted and mounted in some nice framing as a digital picture frame. Then I figured hey, what if i could also trigger a camera feed to pop up on an event. If it works I'd put a few around the house primarily in our master and living room so it would mainly show family pictures until someone drove up then pop the feed (ideally even trigger a sound).

So I've never used BI, but would that be possible at all. I'd have 10ish cameras but only trigger on a couple (front door, driveway). Figured I could put it on an intel nuc with the photos as a screensaver, then have BI wake the pc and full screen the event.
