Section 3: EVO-HD Configuration Overview
3.1. Wireless Configuration Update
The EVO-HD will check for the latest firmware updated after or before uploading the videos. This process is
automated the user will not need to initiate the process.
Once the update process has started:
Do not remove power
Do not remove the external SD card
3.2. Using VuVault to Configure your EVO-HD
VuVault® is used to manage EVO-HD settings as well as activate your device or an external.
Before you can configure your device for use within VuVault, the EVO-HD serial number must be added into the system.
Add your device into VuVault by selecting Admin > Devices > Advanced > Add Device. Find the device serial number
located on the back of the EVO-HD and type it into the wizard (do not include the hyphen). Assign it a name and
description. When done, press Save. For more information consult the “VuVault Administrator Guide” Adding Devices
section.
Go to the Admin > Devices Tab. A separate configuration field for EVO-HD Settings will be available once a valid
serial number for the device has been added into the system. These settings will define how all users will interface
with the EV)-HD. Click on each subheading to reveal the available configuration options. When finished, press
Save.

Section 4: EVO-HD Power
The Power operation is configurable and specifies how the EVO-HD will operate when the vehicle ignition is turned to
the ON or OFF positions. Two parameters control the power operation in order as follows:
4.1. Ignition Shutdown Timer
The Ignition Shutdown Timer specifies the amount of time the remains EVO-HD fully powered
when the vehicle ignition goes from ON to OFF.
During the Ignition Shutdown Time:
1. The EVO is fully powered and operational, including all high power consumption devices, such as; cameras
(including Pre-Event), recorded audio, GPS, Monitor, and the pre-event buffer.
2. The EVO-HD will remain fully powered until the Ignition Shutdown Timer expires. When the timer expires,
the EVO-HD will then follow the operation for the Days in LPS configuration.
3. If the vehicle ignition switches on before the timer expires, the Ignition Shutdown Timer is canceled and will
start over again when the ignition is turned off.
4.2. Days in LPS (Low Power Standby)
When the vehicle ignition goes from ON to OFF the EVO-HD will first follow the operation for Ignition Shutdown
Timer and then the operation for Days in LPS configuration. The Days in LPS configuration specifies the number of
consecutive days the EVO-HD will remain in Low Power Standby before completely powering off. Using a Low Power
Standby configuration ensures the EVO-HD is fully powered on and ready to record within a few seconds of the vehicle
ignition switching on.
Settings: 0 to 10 days [default = 0 days]
During Low Power Standby:
4. All high power consumption devices will be turned off, such as; cameras (including Pre-Event), GPS, monitor,
ECA® recording, and the pre-event buffer. If configured, Accelerometer, External Triggers, and the Manual
Record button events will trigger an event record. All other triggers are unavailable during low power standby.
5. The EVO-HD will remain in Low Power Standby until the number of days expires. When the number of days
expires, the EVO-HD will completely power off.
6. If the vehicle ignition switches to the ON position before the number of days in Low Power Standby expires,
the EVO-HD will wake up to the full power state and be ready to record within a few seconds.
The EVO-HD will draw a maximum of 20mA of current during Low Power Standby. Typically, a new or strong vehicle
battery will provide enough current to power the EVO-HD in LPS for at least 10 days without discharging the battery.
The vehicle’s battery current rating, battery age, and other equipment that remains powered on when the vehicle ignition
is off will affect the maximum consecutive days the EVO-HD should remain in LPS.
Section 5: Input Sensor Device Detection, Threshold, and Wiring Guide
To configure an input sensor, the signaling of the device must be known. To determine the signaling, measure the voltage
for the normal or inactive state of the device and the voltage for the triggered or active state. Use the input sensor
worksheet located in your installation guide to record measurements. When configuring sensors, first determine the
Trigger Operation; second, the direction for the Detection Type; then select the Threshold setting nearest to the triggered
state. The figure below illustrates these steps:
