Record Mode
In addition to the external SD Card, the DVM-800 has 32GB of internal memory which is
permanently installed in the unit. Select one of the following three modes to determine
how the storage memory is utilized.
Internal
All triggered and manual recordings will be saved to the mirror’s internal memory.
These recordings will only be accessible by wireless upload to VuVault
®
or by using
the USB cable to connect the DVM to a PC and uploading to VuVault. In this mode,
an external SD card does not need to be present in the DVM.
External
All triggered and manual recordings will be saved to the External SD Card. These
recordings will be accessible by wireless upload to VuVault or by manual transfer
by removing the external SD card and using an SD card reader with a PC.
ECA
®
(Evidence Capture Assurance
®
)
• All triggered and manual recordings will be saved to the External SD
Card as above, but, the DVM will also continuously record from the
default cameras (Source 1 and Source 2 as configured in the Record
tab) to the Internal memory.
• ECA recording will be temporarily suspended during any of the
following:
◦
A triggered or manual event is recording.
◦
While the DVM is wirelessly transferring files.
◦
The video playback screen is on, or video is being played on the DVR.
•
ECA will always record in “Loop” mode: When the Internal Memory is
completely filled, the earliest recording will always be deleted to free
up memory for new recordings.

Retrieving ECA Recordings from Internal Memory
Using the supplied USB cable, connect a PC to the USB/WiFi Port on the back of
the DVM and restart the system. Recordings can be selected and uploaded to
VuVault
®
using the Upload feature. Alternatively, the files can be copied to the PC
using Windows Explorer.
If the decision is ever made to switch from ECA mode to Internal Memory
mode after having already used ECA, be sure to upload or manually delete the
existing ECA recordings from the Internal Memory via USB cable connection
to a PC. Failure to do so will cause the DVM to wirelessly upload all of the
existing ECA recordings, which would take many hours to complete.
Event Loop
Use this setting to determine how the External SD Card memory is handled.
• Select
Off
(Default setting) to allow the DVM to make triggered and
manual recordings only until the External SD Card is full. No further
recording will be possible until existing recordings are uploaded to
VuVault
®
or the filled SD card is replaced.
• Select
On
for the DVM to operate in “Loop” mode. When the external
SD Card memory is full, the DVM will delete the earliest recording to
