1. General

• Right-clicking on the Behnke logo opens the menu.

  

• The following options are then available in the menu:

  • Info: Click to bring up the splash screen with the information about the software.

    

  • Suspend: ¹ When you click on this menu item, the software continues to run, but no video is displayed when there is a call from the intercom. Clicking suspend again restores the default pop-up functionality.

  • Recordings...: This menu item takes you to the player for recorded videos.

  • Show video: You can use this to manually call up the video of a configured IP camera without triggering a call on the intercom station. If you have configured several cameras in the software, a selection window with the configured cameras will appear first. If you have selected the desired camera here, the video will be displayed after clicking "OK". If you have configured a password for the video display, a password prompt will appear first.

    

  • Configure: Opens the configuration window. Alternatively, you can also call this up by double-clicking on the Behnke tray icon. If you have previously configured an admin password in the software, a password prompt will appear first. Enter the password here and confirm with "OK".
