The General menu is where you set the base settings for the VBOX HD Lite, such as the Orientation, Time Zone and the Log Mode you wish to use.

You have three video orientation settings to choose between:

Auto

Enable auto-detect of the camera orientation during the boot-up of VBOX HD Lite (default).

Set the VBOX HD Lite to record video the correct way up. 

180°

Set the VBOX HD Lite to record video upside-down.

By default HD Lite will attempt to automatically detect its orientation and then apply the applicable video orientation setting. If you know that you will be mounting HD Lite the correct way, select the 0° setting. If you know that you will be mounting the HD Lite upside-down, select the 180° setting.

You have 3 available logging modes to choose between:

Only When Moving (default)

This setting makes the VBOX HD Lite start logging data only when it detects a speed of more than the set start speed. It will stop logging data when it detects a speed lower than the set start speed after the set time. This requires a satellite lock. 

You can use the Record button to stop and start the logging. 

Continuous

Data is continuously logged to the SD card regardless of vehicle velocity or the number of satellites. The HD Lite will start logging as soon as it is fully booted up, as long as it has a microSD card inserted. Press the Record button to stop and start the logging. 

Manual

You must press the Record button to start and stop the logging. 

Disable manual override: 

Tick this box to disable the Record button from stopping the logging when you are using Only When Moving and Continuous. This is disabled by default.
