BACK The default setting for record is the continuous recording at 30fps, 720P resolution. This setting allows for separate event and panic recordings. On this setting the SD card storage may be used up quicker and depending on the settings, overwrite or stop recording when full. To avoid losing valuable data, back up data to a separate storage or PC device after any incidents. NOTE: The unit will not start recording immediately after power on. It takes around 1 minute for the built‐in power backup system to charge. Thereafter, the internal flash memory will be ready to record. BLUE LED Record LED This is the default mode for recording. In this setting the unit will begin recording Continuous Record (When Record mode set as “Continuous”) after boot up and record the entire time the unit is powered. The resolution and frame rates can be set as per your requirements. You can change the configuration of the recording using the VT1000 Software. To do this, please see RED LED the ‘Settings’ section on page 15.

The lower graph shows the G‐sensors. The x‐axis is in red, y‐axis in blue, and Bottom Graph z‐axis is green. The indicator bar below shows jolts in the G‐sensor values, i.e. G‐sensor values that exceed the pre‐set limit. Grey means normal conditions, red “Driver Report” icon means jolts in the x‐axis direction, blue in the y‐axis direction, and green in the z‐axis direction. Configurations for this function can be set by clicking the [Setting] button in the right bottom corner. The limits for G‐sensor, permitted speeding, excessive RPM, and eco‐speeding can be set under the ‘Analysis’ tab and ranges for the two graphs can be set under the ‘Component’ tab. From the calendar in the bottom right corner, choose the date you wish to inspect among the dates highlighted in blue. Dates that are not highlighted in blue, do not have the relevant data. All data from the selected date will be automatically chosen from the selection on the right. You can unselect data that you do not need. When data is selected, click the ‘Load’ button to load the data. A summary of information can be found on the top of the window including; vehicle ID, user ID, total duration and total distance. In addition you can analyze the number of over‐accelerations, over‐decelerations, sharp turns, over‐speeding, over‐RPMs that exceeded the pre‐set limit. The top graph shows the speed (red) and below are three indicator bars that show Top Graph driving patterns. The first bar shows driving (blue) and idling (grey) and the second bar shows the speed. White means that the vehicle was within both the permitted speed and eco‐speed limit, green means above eco‐speed but within permitted speed limit, and red means above the legal speed limit. The last bar shows the state of the engine where white means the engine is off, blue means it is running properly within the pre‐set RPM limit, and red means over acceleration, i.e. exceeding the pre‐set RPM limit. -

Analysis Criteria Settings ANALYSIS CRITERIA SETTINGS GRADING CRITERIA SETTINGS Grading Criteria Settings The criteria for grading driver’s safety and eco‐score can be set in these settings. This option allows you to make changes to the analysis criteria settings. To The safety and eco‐grading criteria have 7 and 8 separate components Analysis Criteria Settings access this menu, go to ‘settings’ click ‘analysis criteria settings’ and you will respectively. A weighted average of these component scored are used to be presented with the following screen. determine an overall score. Grading for each criteria is set to 4 levels (A,B,C & D) and if the driver’s score is lower then they will receive an F for fail. Each criteria can be given a different weight depending on the importance you place on each one but all weights must add up to 100. To get into this menu, enter the ‘Settings’ menu, and click the ‘Grading Criteria Settings’. This sets the criteria for excessive acceleration and brake. This is measured in G‐ Acceleration/Brake force, so if acceleration or deceleration exceeds the G‐force limit, it will be counted as excessive. This option allows you to set the criteria for excessive speeding. You can set the Speed Limit value limits between 0‐999km/h. In the example above, the limit has been set to 80km/h for 30 seconds, so therefore if the vehicle goes over this speed for over 30 seconds, it will count as excessive speeding. If you go over that speed but for under 30 seconds, it will not count as excessive speeding. Set the criteria for eco‐speed limit. The eco‐speed limit can be set higher or lower Eco‐speed Limit than the speed limit and can be set from 0‐999 km/h and the time can be set by selecting the drop down menu. In the example, the limit has been set to 60km/h This option sets the grading criteria the amount of sudden starts per hour. The for 10 seconds. If this limit is exceeded, it will count as excessive.
