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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
 When 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.
Settings: Internal, External, ECA [default]
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.
1. 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 full SD card is replaced.
2. 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 free up memory for new recordings.
In this mode, the DVM will always be able to make new recordings, but will risk the
possible overwriting of an important recording if it has not been uploaded by the time
the SD card becomes full.
Settings: On, Off [default]
