Quad Monitors: Operation

Updated June 16, 2025 19:32

The 7” and 10.1” Quad Monitors are highly configurable 4-channel displays with touchscreen, button, and remote controls.

Powering the Monitor

The Quad monitors (once installed) are powered by the vehicle’s ignition. When the vehicle is on, the monitor turns on one of two modes:

Standby mode – the display is darkened, and the power button is lit red.
Active mode – displaying camera feed(s) with the power button lit green.

Press the monitor’s power button to switch between the two modes. Alternatively, swipe up on the display to switch to active mode and down to standby mode.

When the vehicle is turned off, the monitor stops receiving power and shuts off. When the vehicle’s ignition is back on, it will return to the state set by its "Power On" configuration.

Touchscreen Controls

The monitor’s touch controls are intuitive and function like any other touchscreen device.

Display the Main Menu

Touch the lower part of the screen.

Switch Between Standby and Active Mode

Swipe down to switch to standby mode.
Swipe up to switch to active mode.

Cycle Through Camera Displays

Tap or swipe the left or right side of the screen (unless a camera is triggered, or auto scan mode is active).
The display modes cycle in the following order:
- - Single Camera (CAM 1 through 4) -> Dual ->Triple -> Y-Split -> H-Split -> Quad -> Picture-in-Picture (1 through 3) -> Special Configurations (1 through 3).
  - See the Screen Configuration section of the Configuration article for more information about the monitor’s display modes.

Display a Multi-Screen Camera Image in Full-Size

Tap the center of the screen to return to the previous display.

Switch the Position of Two Cameras in a Multi-Screen Layout

Tap and hold two camera images with different fingers.
- - The selected camera images briefly highlight green before switching positions.
  - This feature does not work with special configuration screens.

Magnify a single camera feed (CAM1 through 4 only)

Hold two fingers on the screen and separate them to place and size the magnifying box.
Tap the box with one finger to magnify.
Tap the screen again to stop magnifying.

7" Quad Button Controls

The 7” Quad Monitor has a panel under the display with six (6) buttons. These controls are responsive to the screen’s display.

Only two (2) buttons have a fixed function:

[] Power – controls and indicates the state of the monitor.
- - Red – standby mode (darkened screen unless triggered by the vehicle signals).
  - Green – active mode.
[ S ] Source – Start and control the magnifying mode (only on the main display screen).

The function of the remaining buttons adapts to how a user can interact with the monitor’s display.

[ + ] Increase – Increase the alerts and camera audio volume.
[ ∇ ] Select – Cycle to the next camera display mode.

Remote Controls

The remote control allows users to interact with a monitor with a locked display or mounted within view but out of reach.

Similarly to the 7” Quad Monitor’s button controls, some of the remote buttons have fixed functions:

[] MUTE – Mute and unmute the monitor. Open the Volume menu.
[] POWER – Enter and exit standby mode.
[] SEL. – Start and control the magnifying mode (only on the main display screen).
