USB thumb drive
Important! To preserve your evidence you must remove your USB thumb drive
safely (page 32) .
The USB thumb drive functions primarily as a backup storage device for the hard drive.
WatchGuard Video provides a 16 GB USB thumb drive, but you can use any size thumb drive
with the DVR. The DVR remains fully functional with no USB thumb drive.
On the front of the DVR is a locked door panel. When you unlock the door panel, a red arm
extends outward holding the USB thumb drive. All DVR keys are identical.
Note: In-vehicle supervisors typically keep the key to the USB thumb drive
compartment.
Using an optional USB thumb drive with the 4RE System provides the following benefits:

the chance of losing important video evidence
l
Directly delivers firmware and configuration upgrades if no wireless network is available
l
Stores 4RE System Capture State (when user-initiated)
