Blue Iris with 30 cameras

1

I have Blue Iris running on 2 separate machines and HA on another machine, with a total of about 30 cameras.

I set up the integration and a lovelace dashboard using picture-element cards in a custom-layout-card.

I am pretty weak at making things look nice and was hoping to get some suggestions on how better to show ~30 cameras.

Thank you!

Here’s what I have now:

Anyone have any suggestions?

Good luck. I resorted to putting all of my cards of similar side into columns together, and then making a vertical stack to put my odd shaped ones all together and to the far right.

I have yet to find an easy or good way to get all of the cards to match in size when they have different resolutions.
