Uploading Files to a Computer
Using the supplied USB cable, connect your FirstVu HD to
the computer using the USB port next to the power switch.
Power the unit on and the FirstVu HD will appear on the
computer as a removable storage drive. Double click on the
drive and the video file folders will be listed. You may then
drag and drop the files to your PC or open a selected folder
to playback the .avi file using Windows Media Player.
To playback your videos and metadata using VuVault or the
Digital Ally Viewer, refer to page 5-7.
The FirstVu HD is capable of advanced security features which may restrict a user’s access to
recorded event files. These restrictions can be implemented by a system administrator only if
using the VuVault back office software. If the Secure USB port feature has been enabled in the
VuVault Admin>Settings>FirstVu HD Defaults tab (see page 3-4), video and metadata files will
not be accessible through the USB port and can only be uploaded using VuVault. Additionally,
each user must have Upload New Videos permissions within VuVault to transfer files from the
FirstVu HD.
