Create A Multi-Camera CCTV System With Raspberry Pi and motionEyeOS -
Want to build your own CCTV security system with motion detection? Here's how to do it with a Raspberry Pi and motionEyeOS.:
https://www.makeuseof.com/create-a-multi-camera-cctv-system-with-raspberry-pi-and-motioneyeos/
"A special Linux distro called motionEyeOS makes it easy to set up your security system with one or more cameras. It can then detect motion from the camera view and send alerts via email or push notification."

Raspberry Pi Surveillance Monitor (2015): https://www.bitpi.co/2015/03/18/raspberry-pi-surveillance-monitor/
"The monitor I'm using has a resolution of 1600x1200. I want to take full advantage of it by displaying 9 videos at a time.
...
We will need to dedicate more RAM to the GPU in order to handle the increase load in the video stream. We will run the "sudo raspi-config" and go to "Advance Options" then select "Memory Split". I chose 128MB which effectively doubles the onboard GPU memory available."
