Solved using 3 screens

i have a laptop connected to a dock station. and i have a 24" monitor that sets over the laptop so all i see is the 24" monitor.

i just go a 15" monitor and connected it to the dock station and the power to the laptop. what i got the 15" monitor for was to see my cameras on that. now i have them as pinned tabs on the 24" monitor and when i want to see a camera i have to click the tab to open it.

so i have not yet figured out how to get the camera tabs over to the 15" monitor and the rest of the browser on the 24" monitor and either turn off the laptop or if i have to leave that screen on i can put a paper over it so i do not have to see it under the 24" monitor see photo

now on the left screen i want to have 4 or 5 tabs with cameras running on them so i can either click on a tab to open it or even separate them so the are all showing.

i did get it one time the the large monitor was inverted. as that monitor is upside down so i can fit the laptop behind it and lower the monitor down to the keyboard so i do not have to keep looking up to see it.

is this possible? see the screen id i would like the 24" to be screen 1 and or 1/2 an the 15" to be screen 2 or 3 the best solution i would like it the 24" to be screen 1 the 15" screen 2 and the laptop screen 3 seperate screens but at least the 24" to be the main screen and the 15" to be where i can park the camera tabs and the 24" monitor to be able to invert the display and the 15" monitor a normal display. i guess it can also be inverted as i can just flip the unit upside down i guess. thanks for any ideas

It may be helpful if you give a screenshot of your display settings to see your screen layout.

Open Display settings

here you go

What options do you have in the dropdown menu where it says duplicate desktop?

I would make all the desktops unique and just open a different browser window, that's how I always ran with three monitors. I now have an ultra-wide monitor and a secondary monitor. If I want to display something in a browser window, I just fire up an alternative browser, stick it on the secondary monitor, and carry on with my activities on my main monitor.

i think i got it. i turned off the laptop and when i disconnect that the dock the laptop returns. now to get use to this. i find the file explorer like the 3rd display but i can move it back to 2 so for now i believe i have it working thanks for the help on this.

that is how it works with that camera it is in a different browser but on that 15" monitor. it seems to be working for now. i will turn that 15" monitor off soon as i do not need it now but when we get back to our house that is getting rebuilt after it burned down i will set this back up for my cameras. thanks
