Serial Number 

Your VuLink device has a unique 8 digit serial number printed on the unit. Enter the 
serial number here without the dash 

(example 0950-0076 would be entered 09500076).

 

SSID 

The SSID is the wireless network name. This parameter specifies the VuLink SSID that 
your FirstVu HD’s will be authorized to connect to. The SSID may be up to 10 digits in 
length. 

Password 

This parameter specifies the password or security phrase required to connect to VuLink.

to VuLink.

Settings:

 WPAPSK, WPA2PSK  

Encryption Type 

This parameter specifies the wireless encryption protocol required by VuLink. If selecting 

WPA2PSK

 

(preferred)

 as the authentication mode, choose AES as the encryption type. If 

selecting

Settings:

8.  If the FirstVu HD is not recording, all LED Indicators will turn off, but VuLink will remain 

fully powered until the timer expires. 

9.  During an active record, the FirstVu HD will continue recording and the system status 

indicators will operate normally until the recording ends.  

10. 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. 

11. Once the 

Ignition Shutdown Timer

 expires, the system will stop an active recording. 

12. 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.
