Is there a keyboard shortcut to quickly switch monitor between VGA and HDMI input?

[hdstacey]

I would like to use the same monitor for my HP desktop and a Home Security camera NVA system. I can can use My Display to change the inputs between the two systems, but I would like to find a faster  way to accomplish this, i.e. Hotkey, desktop shortcut, etc.

Thank You

Probably you need a KVM switch. Depending on how do you connect your monitor now. Please read the following article which helps you to get a right switch

How fast is required ? 

There are 3 types of Video switches or KVM switches, depending on the video switching core technologies are used accordingly. 

1. switch with NO EDID/DDC information processing -  most of the switches in the market now (over 90%) are using this "hard-wire" switching "technology" (for me it no technology, but just like the traditional mechanical rotary switch in electronic form. 

- Pros: low cost

- Cons:

• Will cause your systems holding/ stopped by hardware hot-plug errors when switching. 
• No EDID/DDC feeding, means images/ video will resized or resolutions can not kept, after you making switch. 
• long switching time, (every time you make a switch, just like unplug and replug the physical video cables to the systems and to your monitors. 
• may damage your systems or monitors physically

2. DDM class Video or KVM switches

3.  Video switches with video frame-buffers - for professional movie making or broadcasting industry - no latency video switching use.
