Your BW34xx Series software operates through a series of screens that let you choose groups
of operations. For example, when you tap on the camera icon in the Pop-up menus, you can
set how you want the main viewing screen - called the LIVE screen - to display images from the
paired cameras. You can scan between cameras, show all cameras on a single screen (Quad
view), or only display a speci c camera.
The LIVE screen lets you view the camera transmissions. It also lets you set up your screen
display and make adjustments to it. Icons on the screen itself let you monitor power and camera
status.
The BW34xx Series system always defaults to the LIVE screen in Quad mode after be-
ing idle for 2 minutes while in any other system screen. This default ensures that the
system is ready to record video even if you forget to return to the LIVE screen. The
system can only start a recording while in LIVE screen mode.
