General System Settings

The general system settings are the basic settings for the unit: the name of the unit, the port it

uses for communication, and activation of certain optional features:

• Audio Out: Enables internal and external speakers. When they are enabled, remote users

can speak into a microphone on a client device and be heard through the unit's speakers

on-site. (At present, the MultiClient and the Symbian S60 cell-phone client applications

support this feature.)

• Audio In: Enables microphones. When microphones are connected and enabled, audio

from the site can be heard along with live and recorded video.

• GPS: Enables tracking the location of the vehicle by means of the built-in GPS receiver.

For information about viewing the vehicle location on a map, and tracking the route

taken by the vehicle, please refer to the MultiClient User Guide.

• Ignition: Defines whether the unit should automatically shut down when the vehicle

ignition is turned off and, if so, how long the unit should continue operating after the

ignition is turned off before it shuts down.

• Stop Recording on Download: Stops all video recording when video is being

downloaded from the MVG 400. This option increases the download speed, because it

allocates more of the unit’s resources to the download task. However, it also means that

there may be gaps in the recorded video at the times that the video is downloaded.

• Accept New Connections while Downloading: Enables streaming of new live or

recorded video streams to a client application while downloading of recorded video to a

PC is taking place. When this option is selected, the process of downloading may take

somewhat longer to be completed. In addition, the video displayed in the client may be

slightly distorted at times while the download is in progress. When this option is not

selected, transmission of new live or recorded video streams to client applications does

not take place while downloading is underway.
