Digital Ally Inc.| Device Configuration
Source 1 (the video source displayed on the LCD) is configured for External #2, and LCD is configured
On. After you’ve made your selections, select Done.
The Detection & Threshold parameters displayed above assumes your reverse gear signal is 0v (non-active)
and 12VDC (active). If the reverse gear signal for your vehicle is different, you will need to configure the
DVM for proper operation in your vehicle using the “Detection & Threshold parameter” table on the
previous page.
Reverse Record Override
By default, the reverse gear camera selections will take priority over other sensors and record triggers
whenever the vehicle is in reverse. The reverse camera source will override the default Source 1 camera
selection configured in the Record > Cameras Menu. Once the reverse trigger is inactive, the original
camera image source configured in the Record > Cameras menu will be displayed once again. If the
reverse trigger is active when the recording ends, the backup camera image will continue to display. To
change this behavior, move the reverse sensor down on the event priority list. See Event Priority below.
Event Priority
The Event Priority list defines the LCD control, camera switching, and Output Alarm control when
multiple triggers and/or sensors are simultaneously active. There are eight categories for prioritization
which include: IF Box Sensors 1 through 6, Internal Events, and Pre-event. Using the VuVault software,
drag and drop your named sensor blocks to set the camera, LCD, and output alarm priority. The Event
Priority rules are defined as highest to lowest from left to right.
Sensors 1 through 6 as configured in the Sensor tab of the VuVault software.
The Internal Events box consists of all the configured internal DVM sensors. These consist of the
manual record button, GPS, and accelerometer sensors. These events must be higher in priority
than Pre-Event.
The Pre-Event box is the Record Mode as defined in the Record Tab. This box must be lower in
priority than “Event Trigger” Type sensors (#1 through #6).
Example 1: Reverse Camera Override Active
If multiple sensors are active, the Example 1 configuration above page tells us that the Reverse Gear has
event priority (LCD, camera switching, and Output Alarm) over all other sensors. The Lights camera
