[Question]: Birdseye minimum cameras

[cecc83]

What is your question:

Hello everybody, I have 5 cameras and I want to show in birdseye view 4 of them. To achieve this I entered this configuration:

birdseye:
  enabled: True
  mode: continuous
  restream: True
  layout:
    max_cameras: 4

but I would like one of them switch to fifth camera according to detected movement, instead of having always the same 4 fixed. I also tried overriding the single camera configuration with mode: motion but with no luck.
If I set the mode motion at the main level it happens that if there is no movement only one camera is shown. Is there a way to always have a minimum of 4 cameras in this mode?
Thank you in advance.

there is no way to set a minimum number of cameras. You could set 3 cameras to continuous mode and then make the last 2 cameras motion mode

thank you for your fast reply. Another solution I want to try is setting a high value for inactivity_threshold parameter, like 86400 (24h) or even higher. There may be some drawbacks?
