Preparing Memory Card
Before using the MVR, it is important to format your memory card
using specialized tools. We recommend using a free SD
Formatter utility. Use a search engine to find and download it
from one of many Internet resources or from the web portal
http://www.sdcard.org.
Formatting is necessary to optimize the memory card access
speed. The system formats the card in accordance with SD
Memory Card Format Specification, which allows the MVR to
access the card faster. This cannot be done with regular Windows
formatting tools. SD Formatter also (by selecting option of
Format Size Adjustment = ON ) creates an optimal file system
structure (cluster size, etc.).
If you use an unformatted memory card, the MVR may fail to
record or record incorrectly (long pauses between the videos).
Formatting with SD formatter reduces the duration of pauses to a
minimum.
Preparing MVR ready
Connecting with a display
One must adjust the MVR settings before using the device. The main
settings are optimal by default (factory settings) but in any case, you
must set the exact time and date. This is necessary for correct
functioning in the recording mode and further analysis of recorded
video sequences.
For the correct adjustment of settings, we recommend connecting the
MVR to a display. You can use the Gazer monitor, Gazer Rearview Mirror
with a built-in monitor, or any other display with a composite video input.
Do not connect the MVR to the power supply yet. First make sure that
all the indicators are off and then insert the memory card.
The memory card is inserted with connectors towards the display.
Connect the MVR to a display and plug in the power supply.
The recorder will ask to format the memory card if it is used for the
first time. This way the MVR will be able to write Gazer Player software
on the memory card for future video viewing.
If you want to access the setup menu, press the • REC button and stop
the recording first (the recording mode will take some time to shut
down as it is closing and saving the current file), then press and hold
the RIGHT button for 5 seconds. Use LEFT and RIGHT buttons while
navigating the menu, press OK to go to the submenu and select the
setting, long press the RIGHT button to exit from the menu.
Connecting without a display
Insert a memory card into the slot and connect the MVR to a power
supply. After a few seconds the recorder will turn on and ask to format
the memory card. In this case, the PWR (Red) indicator will be
constantly on and the V indicator (blue) will flash. To start formatting,
press the RIGHT button once and then click OK. The formatting
process will take a few seconds, and then the MVR will automatically
switch to the recording mode. In this case, the indicator PWR (red) will
flash and the V (blue) indicator will be always on.
