8 Using the DVR
The DVR records sound and video from the
Receiver’s camera to a micro SD card. It also
records G-forces experienced by the receiver.
Recordings can be viewed on the device itself,
or on a computer.
The Receiver is provided with a 4 GB card in
the DVR slot. You can purchase and format
additional micro-SD cards if you wish. This
would permit you to set a SD-card aside with
important recordings on it, while continuing to
use your DVR.
The playback software is placed on the SD-
card when you format it, so you can play it
back anywhere you have a Windows PC and a
reader for the card.
• Warning: The DVR cannot record without
a properly formatted micro-SD card in the
DVR card slot.

Storage and locked Recordings
The DVR records in short segments (up to
a few minutes long), and will use the entire
capacity of the card. When the card is full, it
continues by writing over the oldest segments
in sequence,
To prevent a segment from being overwritten,
it must be locked. If the device experiences a
shock of greater than 2Gs, it locks the active
segment.
Note: Minor accidents may not cause
recording to lock. If in doubt, tap the Lock
button on top of the device.
Each locked segment will be preserved until
you take action to unlock or delete it.
