Title: Why does D-ViewCam / Main Console consume my second monitor?
Post by: jsrober on March 20, 2011, 04:40:18 PM

Hi,

I have two monitors connected to my computer. When I start D-ViewCam it forces itself full-screen on my second monitor.

When I run D-ViewCam on a computer with only one monitor it appears in a normal movable/resizable window.

How do I make D-ViewCam resizable and movable on my dual-monitor PC?

Thanks,
John

Check your settings under Setting > General tab > Startup. See page 25 of the D-View User Manual.

"Full screen" is not checked. I think if it detects more than one monitor it automatically consumes the second monitor. How do I disable this?

Not sure if it can be disabled, but what happens if you click once on the application while on your 2nd monitor and then press ESC?

I have one monitor and I exit Full-Screen mode by pressing ESC.

ESC doesn't do anything. Bummer. D-Link is *SO* second tier! I wish I could afford Axis.

I found a way...

To Install for a specific monitor:

-Uninstall D-ViewCam
-Turn off all other monitors in your Display Control Panel
-Re-install and run D-ViewCam with just the one monitor
-Re-enable all other monitors
-Now every time you run D-ViewCam, it will run on your desired monitor

Note: I am using D-Link D-ViewCam 3.6.0. Model: DCS-100; Device Pack Version: 1.5.3

Good Luck

In Windows 10, the keyboard method can move D-Viewcam display between monitors. (Control Key + Windows Key + {left or right} Arrow Key)
