I have 6 cameras on my BI screen. 3 on a top row and 3 on a bottom row - There is a thick horizontal grey bar below the top 3 camera scenes AND a thick horizontal grey bar below the bottom 3 camera scenes. How can I lesson the thickness of these two grey bars or eliminate them altogether. They take up a third of my camera viewing area currently.. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

BI Screen Setup?
Re: BI Screen Setup?
Hi, I can't see how to do that. Could you add a screenshot to show us what you can see ?

Re: BI Screen Setup?
Have you explored any of the 'Edit Layout' features in the upper right area of the desktop display pane?( It's the pencil in a box next to the cog icon next to the Group drop down selector.)
You should be able to scale the cameras to occupy pretty much the entire viewing area. There are several ways to to do so. Not all views will necessarily be symmetrical, but getting the most out of the available space is usually fairly easy depending on camera resolution, etc. Plus resizing is as simple as turning the mouse wheel. Edit. Click out. Done.

Re: BI Screen Setup?
Ok, thanks in advance for your assistance - I will enclose 2 screenshots of what I am talking about. One shows the grey horizonal bands between the camera images.. the other one shows the same horz. bands now in green after I used the 'Edit Layout' feature as recommended above. All I could see that do was 'zoom' the image (Cam 4) which causes a loss of monitored area, and only works with the bottom row of cams. Where do I go from here? I am sure there is a way, I am just not there yet.

Re: BI Screen Setup?
The basic evolution of random cameras into a more acceptable viewing arrangement. (Sorry for the lousy quality. Just some test stuff on a demo box.)
The menu options are opened by right clicking on a camera. Lots of customization obviously available in a slightly less than intuitive manner. It will start making sense after some experimentation. The main objective in most cases is to achieve the most acceptable and symmetrical fit of all cameras when displayed in a maximized frame -- as in a full screen display. Compromises are often required to make this happen, especially with 4:3 aspect ratio cameras. A little stretch here and little zoom there changing to 16:9..., it can all come together and you won't even notice after a few views. (Recording will still occur in the native aspect ratio.)

Thanks for that info. I will play with it and see what I can do...
