Digital Ally Inc.| DVM Configuration Overview
Section - 2: DVM Configuration Overview
Many customizable features are available for the DVM-800. The file that is used to update the DVM
configuration is named “deviceconfig”. This file contains all of the necessary wireless settings,
operational settings, and user logins. Section 3 will guide you through the process of creating the
configuration file using the Settings tab within the VuVault™ back office software. You will then save
the file using the Media Card Admin Tab within VuVault™ (Refer to Section 3-11 for details).
Once the configuration file has been created within VuVault, use one of the following methods to
update the DVM:
The DVM must be initially be configured for wireless communication using the SD card method
before Wireless Updates can be utilized.
Using your External SD Card
a. Copy the “deviceconfig” file to a SD card.
b. Install the SD card into the external card slot of the DVM.
c. The DVM will reboot and load the settings from the new configuration file. The old
configuration settings will be overwritten and discarded.
Wireless Updates
a) Once the new configuration is saved in VuVault, go to “Media Card Admin” and click
“Save to Folder”. Navigate to the local hard drive folder to which you wish to save
the “deviceconfig” file.
b) Open the WTM-Lite™ program and click the “Update Devices” button, then the
“Deploy Update Files” button. (See the VuVault Wireless Server Setup Guide for
details).
c) Navigate to the hard drive location for “deviceconfig”, click on the file then press
OK.
d) Select the device or devices to update and press “Done”.
e) When the DVM reconnects to the FTP server, it will use settings from the new
configuration file. The old configuration settings will be overwritten and discarded.
If the Recording Mode of the DVM is set to ECA (Evidence Capture Assurance), the DVM will
not make any attempts to wirelessly connect to the FTP server unless there is at least one
Event Recording present on the DVM to be uploaded. In this case, you may make a quick
recording on the DVM to enable WiFi to connect. This will allow a new configuration or
firmware file to transfer from the server to the DVM.
Once the update process has started:
Do not remove power
Do not turn the ignition off
Do not remove the external SD card
