03 - VBOX HD Logging Modes

 The default filename for videos and ‘.vbo’ files is ‘VBOX’. E.g. VBOX0001.avi and VBOX0001.vbo. This prefix can be changed using the Log Settings tab, or choose to use the Time and Date instead. e.g.VBOX_20100803153038_0001.vbo

Which is [Year][Month][Day][Hour][Minute][Second].

The Blue LED will come on when the unit is recording video, this LED will flash when the unit is closing the file.

DO NOT REMOVE the SD card if the Record LED is on or is flashing, as this could lead to data loss.

VBOX HD has three logging modes:

Log only when moving (default)

The unit automatically starts logging data when the vehicle speed goes above 2.5km/h, and stops when it goes below this value. This speed is configurable; see ‘Scene properties’ in Video VBOX Setup software. Pressing the REC button will stop the recording and close the file.

Manual logging

To set this logging mode, changes must be made to the HD unit’s setup in VBOX HD Setup software.

When VBOX HD is in manual logging mode, it will never automatically start or stop logging. It must be controlled by the user to open each file before driving off, and close each file before the logging media is removed from the box.

Important note: removing the logging media while the unit is still logging can cause data to become corrupt or lost.

Continuous logging

To set this logging mode, changes must be made to the HD unit’s setup in VBOX HD Setup software.

When using continuous logging, VBOX HD will start logging as soon as power and logging media is present. The unit will start to log on these two conditions only, and is not affected at all by speed or GPS lock. Note that the file must also be closed manually in this mode.
