Button to Open CCTV Feed

Configuration
1

I am currently configuring a Lovelace dashboard for a small screen tablet to act as a wall dashboard.

We have nine CCTV cameras, which do not fit on the screen at once. Is there an easy way to just have nine buttons that then open the required camera as a popup window?

I have used the button and URL method, which works, but it opens the camera in a new Window with no window controls, which makes it difficult to get back.

Any suggestions?

Try putting picture entity (or entity if you don’t want to see the preview) cards in a grid.

Exactly what i am doing.

Clicking each camera opens it in it’s own window.

Thanks for the suggestions - I hadn’t thought of either of those, both worked for what I needed.
