Recording Modes
The Varia Vue supports three different recording modes
Continuous
On Radar Activity
Off
Video Segment Lengths
The Varia Vue stores video footage in a circular loop in 2-minute segments and in chronological order. The Varia
app stitches consecutive 2-minute segments into 10-minute videos.
The length of manually saved video segments corresponds to the duration between starting and stopping the
video, up to a maximum of 10 minutes. If the video is longer than 10 minutes, it will be broken into multiple
videos.
Incident event videos are 90 seconds long if recording mode is continuous, with 15 seconds of footage
preceding the occurrence of the incident. If recording mode is off, only 75 seconds of video footage is recorded
starting from when the incident occurred
Video and Photo Format
Videos and photos are stored in the DCIM directory on the memory card. Videos are stored in MP4 and GLV
file format, and photos are stored in JPG format. GLV is a low-resolution video file that provides a better mobile
preview experience in the Varia app.
Varia Vue uses a video compression standard called HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), also known as
H.265. HEVC allows video to be saved at up to half the file size while maintaining the captured image quality.
Some media players might not support H.265 video compression playback.
NOTE: For more information on how to view your videos with the best image quality, go to
/videos.
You can view and transfer videos and photos by inserting the memory card into your computer or connecting
the device to your computer
The videos and photos are sorted into folders.
