I have 7 Dahua camera’s and a NVR.  
I have access to the direct RTSP sources like: rtsp://admin:admin@10.7.6.67:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0

Can I create 7 tiles with all the channel or does someone allready have this working. With the imou app on my iphone I am able to connect and see the movement triggers.  
Maybe some has done this for HOMEY PRO (2023) as well.

Maybe it is possible when you use a dasbord like this and add 7 cams with the streams.  
I don’t use this so have no idea if it works.

Afaik Homey cannot show streams. It can show snapshots though, so when you use the Dashboards app like @Mike1233 proposed, you can emulate a ‘stream’ a bit:

So, if I want my wall-mount tablet to show who is at the door in a stream, and potentially answer the doorbell, I need a different app …

Yes.  
With Homey it’s limited to view snapshots, and to open the door as far as I know, no speaking/listening.  
Take a look at the flowcards of two doorbell apps f.e.

It"s in the device properties of the Dashboards app by Marcus Skogsaas.  
Not related to Homey dashboard.
