BirdsEye Camera Order

Open therealcarnivor opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Loving Frigate and the pace of development!!!! lets get that bit out the way :)

I like to be able to make the order of cameras in the Birdseye view static so that I can get familiar with the layout.

I find you get used to where each camera is but i've noticed they tend to change upon restart.

Maybe a config section to define the camera order, or a new stub in each camera to define its position of order.

I don't think it needs to be as complex as Cam_A: top left, etc, just 0/1/2/3/... , so when read, positions left to right, top to bottom are in the sequence defined.

thanks

In fact, a general sort order for the cameras would also be very useful. So like cameras with different names can be grouped together on the left bar while viewing a camera, and also when viewing the cameras dashboard.

At present, they appear to be in alphabetical order, so I've been trying to achieve this by naming my 16 cameras in a way that makes them sort into a logical order, based on their location.

Reckon it's worth a separate feature suggestion?

This would be a really useful enhancement, even more so if we could define the number of columns/rows. Thanks.

I also would love an ability to define camera order in birdseye. Is it a feasible enhancement? My use case is viewing my 4 home camera feeds in continuous mode as a quick view of the house in a home assistant lovelace card, and it would make quick viewing way easier not having to reorient myself to the various cameras' positions.

Thanks for all you do!

Would love this feature also.
