One System With Different Functions For 2 Live View Monitors

Client will have approx 10 cameras, with basic recording expectations. Wants 2 live view monitors, one with all cameras and another that shows full screen cam 1 or cam 2 based on relay input.  Relay input would come from their existing control that switches between 2 silos that fill trucks.  Client says it is 110v switch, so we are assuming that they could provide us with a relay that provides NO/NC.  Without testing, we are not sure which NVR or analog HD appliance could do this.  Maybe we would need to use 2 devices?  We have used UNV at one of there other sites and they are happy with it, but we did not have this 2 monitor camera switching requirement.  Looking for any input or ideas.

According to this manual, at least some Uniview NVR’s have an alarm-triggered preview feature which can show live video in full screen after an alarm input.

You can do this with Hik NVR/DVR (either Ip or HD Analog tech) which has a main and spot output (vga and hdmi).  I believe you can configure alarm inputs to switch the spot.  This is if the headend is at the monitor site.

With Exacq, you can use dual monitor client, setting up Event Monitoring on screen 2, with IP or HDA camera tech.  (can implement alarm input into one of the camera alarm inputs).  

I still have some Pelco Multiplexors and KBD-400 from early 2000s (that stuff was great for this application in harsh industry conditions).  I was just checking on a system such as this the other day in a chipping plant.
