Multicam - Click in/out of specific camera

With a multicam setup is there no way to click in an out of specific cameras?

The program is set up to automatically divide the display between the cameras as they are streaming. There is not currently a way to switch automatically between a multi view and a single camera view, but that is a worthwhile feature for future development.

Good to know I wasn't just missing something obvious :) I've been using some Veezoom stuff and the default software has it's issues.
It trashed my dev mysql database during install for one . It's also using 2-3x the resources compared to this option.

Being able to click into cameras, or have them be selected on alarm events would be a major plus.

I'll have to dive into the code and see if I'm capable enough to lend a hand. Thanks for the feedback.

The latest version of the program has this feature, thank you for raising the issue. When the program is run in Proxy mode as a Server or Client, double clicking on the camera stream in the display will open a new window with the high resolution version of the camera stream. This feature is not available in Stand Alone mode, but running as a server is pretty much the same experience even if there are no clients. This is necessary to prevent overloading the cameras, placing the compute load on the proxy.
