So I currently have a dual monitor setup, two MSI Optix MAG27s hooked up via DisplayPort to display my PC desktop and if I switch the monitor on the rights input it displays my security cameras via HDMI.

What I'm looking to do is have both my monitors display my PC desktop and the monitor on the right display my security cameras in a PIP window in the corner. I was wondering if there's a program that creates a virtual display within the screen to trick the monitor into displaying both the DisplayPort and HDMI inputs at the same time? Or possibly a KVM? Or combination of both?

I've been scouring the internet for months and haven't found a solution, really hoping that's not because it's impossible.

Can your cameras be accessed...

Can your cameras be accessed via network? If so then use VLC or similar to view the cameras.
