In the Display Setup you can congure the OSD,

possible to alter the Screen Position by setting both
the X and Y values.

Menu System - Motion Setup
Motion Setup
In this menu you can congure Motion Detection for
each channel.
You can set the period of time you require Motion
Detection to be enabled. Alternatively you can choose
‘Always On’ for constant detection.
The Sensitivity, Velocity and Masking Area can also
be set. (Once masking area has been set, move the
cursor to the top of the frame to exit)
The Sensitivity value can be set form -7 (Min) to
+7 (Max). The higher the sensitivity value the more
sensitive the HandyQuad is to slight movements.
The Velocity value determines how sensitive the
HandyQuad is to speed. If the velocity value is set
low such as -6 or Min, slow moving objects will not
be detected.

Menu System - Event Setup & Report
Event Report

the events that have occurred. A maximum of 60
events can be recorded.
Event Setup
The Event Setup menu allows you to set what events
are logged in the Event Report. The Report Hold
Time is the minimum amount of time after an event has
been logged before an event of the same type on the
same channel can be logged again. (The Buzzer is
disabled on this model.)

Display Modes
Full Screen
Each channel can be displayed full screen by pressing
the corresponding button on the remote, or on the front
of the HandyQuad unit. This makes it easy to quickly
switch between camera inputs.
Quad
Quad view is a great way to display all four images at
once ensuring nothing is missed.

15
Display Modes
PIP (Picture In Picture)
PIP is ideal for when you have a main camera that
requires constant observation, but also a second
location to keep an eye on. e.g. A main entrance and
a side entrance to a property.
For channel and position setup see pg 6.
Dual PIP (Picture In Picture)
Dual PIP works in the same way as PIP with the added
benet of a third image. The smaller image frames can
be rearranged so as to not obstruct anything important
in the main image.
For channel and position setup see pg 6.

Manual ref: XQUAD040
Display Modes
Vertical Split
In Vertical Split mode you can display any two
cameras side by side full screen. As this narrows the
frame only the centre portion of each image is visible.
For channel setup see pg 6.
Horizontal Split
Much like Vertical Split, Horizontal Split displays any
two cameras stacked one on top of the other. Horizontal
Split provides a wider eld of view but again only the
centre section of the image is displayed.
For channel setup see pg 6.

17
Display Modes
Dual Display
A great way to view two cameras at the same time.
The full image of both cameras is displayed.
For channel setup see pg 6.
Auto Switching
Auto switch constantly cycles through all four camera
inputs and the quad display. The amount of time each
channel is displayed can be adjusted. Each camera
can be turned off if not required during auto switch.
