I'm looking for a way to display my Night Owl home security system's camera feed on my Roku devices. I have a total of 12 cameras connected to a DVR/NVR that only has one HDMI output. Right now, I'm using a monitor that shows all 12 cameras 24/7. I would love to be able to view this monitor's screen on my Roku and any other TVs in my house. Can anyone suggest a cost-effective solution or share some technical advice?

Check if your NVR offers a web interface. If so, Roku might have a web browser app that allows you to access it directly.
You'll need a device that can stream HDMI over your network. I found a product that takes HDMI input from your NVR's output and creates a network stream. This lets you view the stream on devices like Roku. Look for something that can provide HTTP or RTSP streams, like this one I came across: [product link]. Just keep in mind that compatibility with Roku might depend on whether you have an appropriate app installed to handle streaming.
If your home is wired for coaxial cable, consider using an RF modulator. It can send the HDMI signal to all the TVs in your house.
Looking into RF modulators now, sounds promising!
There’s a lot of misinformation on HDMI streaming. The product I linked should fit your needs for streaming!!
