kbps, and for SD sources 256-768 kbps. The higher the kbps, the better the recording quality will be. Press
the save button for any parameter you have changed.
2. Maximum Recording Time
•This pull down menu will limit the recording time from the system maximum of 8 hours down to 1 hour, in
one hour increments. If there is a USB device connected (Flash Drive or USB Hard Drive), it will be indicated
here.

6. Operation Buttons
•To start a new recording on the fly, press the record button. (NOTE:The play button is a feature for the
Chinese Domestic Market only, and does not function on US Domestic Bee8 appliances.)
7. Video Position/Full Screen Selection Buttons.
•These buttons help you select which source video arrangement will provide the most meaningful content.
The switch button cycles the sources in a counterclockwise direction, so you can choose which source will
have the largest display in the recording. You can also choose to toggle any of the 3 inputs full screen, then
return to the two or three source display by pressing the Switch button again. NOTE: This function works
both when the Bee8 is recording and streaming, or just streaming.
