Location

Below are the configuration items for localization which are provided to address

Date/Time settings and display formats.

Local Time Zone

The local time zone is used to adjust the device when synchronizing to the

Greenwich Mean Time. During device configuration, the local time from the PC

real time clock will be used, and Central Standard Time is set by default.

The date and time is set by the factory prior to shipment. However, you must

also enter the correct UTC offset when configuring the device so that the time

zone can be set properly. For example, USA Central Standard Time =UTC -6.

If using VuVault™, the date & time are automatically synced to your computer

during activation.

PST = Pacific Standard Time (UTC - 8 hours)

MST = Mountain Standard Time (UTC - 7 hours)

CST = Central Standard Time (UTC - 6 hours)

EST = Eastern Standard Time (UTC - 5 hours)

AST = Atlantic Standard Time (UTC - 4 hours)

ALST = Alaskan Standard Time (UTC - 9 hours)

HST = Hawaiian Standard Time (UTC - 10 hours)

Daylight Saving

When set to Yes, Daylight Saving setting time will be automatically adjusted for

the configured Local Time Zone. If this is disabled, time will not be adjusted for

Daylight Saving.

Settings: No, Yes [default]

Date Format

The date format displayed on the event recordings is selected through this

setting.

Settings: mm/dd/yy [default]; yy/mm/dd; dd/mm/yy

24 Hour Time

This time format allows the device to be configured in a 12-hour format or a

24-hour format.

Settings: No [default], Yes

Power

Power to the MicroVu HD is controlled through your vehicle’s ignition. There are no

manual controls for powering the unit on and off. When ignition is switched on, the boot-

up process will begin. The driver-facing status indicators will flash in sequence until boot-

up is complete. When the Blue LED is lit steadily the unit is in Standby and is ready for

use.

The Power operation is configurable and specifies how the MicroVu HD will operate when

the vehicle ignition is turned to the ON or OFF positions. Two parameters control the

power operation in order as follows:

Ignition Shutdown Timer

The Ignition Shutdown Timer specifies the amount of time the MicroVu HD remains

fully powered when the vehicle ignition goes from ON to OFF.

Settings: 0 to 50 minutes, 1 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 8 hrs, 12 hrs, 24 hrs, and Unlimited [default = 1 hour]

MicroVu HD™ Operation Guide 860-00222-00 Rev A

Digital Ally, Inc. | Device Configuration – VuVault

2-4

During the Ignition Shutdown Time:

1. If configured to 0 minutes; the Ignition Shutdown Timer is disabled, and the system

will follow the operation for the Sleep Mode Timer configuration.

2. With Ignition Shutdown Timer enabled, and the system is not recording, all LED

Indicators will turn off, but MicroVu HD will remain fully powered until the Timer

expires. When the timer expires, the system will then follow the operation for the

Sleep Mode Timer (if enabled).

3. During an active record, the unit will continue recording and the system status

indicators will operate normally until the recording ends.

4. If the Ignition Shutdown Timer has not expired, the unit will allow an event record

start from any of the available Event Record Start Triggers. If a recording begins,

the system indicators will operate normally until the recording ends.

5. Once the Ignition Shutdown Timer expires, the system will stop an active recording

and operate according to the Sleep Mode Timer configuration.

6. If the vehicle ignition is turned ON before the timer expires, the Ignition Shutdown

Timer is cancelled and will start over again when the ignition is turned off.

Sleep Mode Timer

When the vehicle ignition goes from ON to OFF the MicroVu HD will first follow the

operation for Ignition Shutdown Timer and then the operation for Sleep Mode Timer

configuration. The Sleep Mode Timer configuration specifies the length of time the

system will remain in a reduced power consumption mode before completely powering

off.

During Sleep Mode:

1. High power devices are put to sleep or shut down.

2. All indicators will be turned off.

3. No Event Record Start Trigger is available when the system is in Sleep Mode.

4. The MicroVu HD will remain in Sleep Mode until the timer expires, then it will

completely power off.

5. If the vehicle ignition switches to the ON position before the Sleep Mode Timer

expires, the system will wake up to the full power state and be ready to record within

a few seconds.

The MicroVu HD will draw a maximum of 291mA of current during Sleep Mode. Typically,

a new or strong vehicle battery will provide enough current to power the MicroVu HD in

Sleep Mode for 5 days without discharging the battery. The vehicle’s battery current

rating, battery age, and other equipment that remains powered on when the vehicle

ignition is off will affect the maximum consecutive days the MicroVu HD should remain in

Sleep Mode. The following table can be used as a general guideline for determining the

Sleep Mode setting; actual results may vary:

Complete Vehicle Power Loss

During an event record, if vehicle power is completely lost to the MicroVu HD

system, the MicroVu HD will switch to the internal battery to end the event record to

prevent data corruption, and then power off after 60 seconds.

If the MicroVu HD is not recording when vehicle power is completely lost, the

MicroVu HD automatically make a 60 second recording using the internal backup

battery, then power down completely.

Recording Details

Audio Mode

The Audio Mode determines how audio will be recorded to your device.

Disabled: No audio will be recorded.

Enabled (w/o Pre-Event): Audio is recorded during the event but not

recorded during pre-event.

Enabled: Audio is recorded during the recorded event and during the

configured pre-event time.

Settings: Disabled, Enabled (w/o Pre-Event) [default], Enabled

Mute Switch

Enables use of the Mute Switch on the device. This setting is not available if

Audio Mode is set to Disabled.

Settings: Enabled [default], Disabled

Record Quality

The Record Quality parameter allows the video compression bit rate to be

adjusted. Digital video is compressed by taking out data that remains constant

from each frame, and only storing data that actually changes. This allows

videos with still backgrounds to be much smaller than they would be if the

background had to be present in every single frame.

The bit rate is the number of bits that can be used in one second of video. The

higher the record quality, the higher the bit rate and the size of the event files.

The default setting is “high” for a good mix between video qualities and upload

time, but can be lowered or raised to adjust quality and storage space.

FPS (Frames Per Second)

This parameter sets the number of frames per second the MicroVu HD will

record. The higher the setting, the better the video quality, and the larger the

size of the event files.

Settings: 5, 10, 15, 30fps [default]

Pre-Event Time

The Pre-Event Time option allows you to set the amount of time for the pre-

event buffer. The MicroVu HD will buffer the last 0-60 seconds of audio and
