Trigger Setup Menu
The Trigger Setup menu allows assigning an MDVR response and a voltage state ([ACTIVE] HIGH or [ACTIVE] LOW) for
each of the user-defined triggers, as well as the GPS-detected speed and accelerometer thresholds on the X and Y axes.
The mask associated with a trigger indicates which cameras are recorded when the trigger is active. The mask indicates
directly which cameras are recorded so a mask of “123” will record cameras 1, 2, and 3 and not 4. Trigger masks are
additive such that multiple trigger activations create an aggregate mask that is the logical or of all active masks. Camera
1 must always be active, therefore all masks contain camera one.
For example, if two triggers are activated where trigger 1 has the mask “13” and trigger 2 has the mask “4”, then cameras
“1”, “3”, and “4” will all be recorded.
